About The Hotel

Habitas villas are sustainably designed to embrace the natural surroundings of the Ashar Valley, offering scenic canyon views. Visit Hegra to experience Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here you’ll explore over 110 remarkably well preserved tombs set in a desert landscape, while learning about the ancient people and culture of AlUla. Get a glimpse into AlUla’s not-so-distant past on the AlUla Old Town Tour. A guide will lead you through AlUla Old Town, where pilgrims, travelers and permanent settlers congregated through the ages.

Named after a star constellation widely used by bedouins to navigate, Thuraya Wellness is where we come to restore and relax. Thuraya Wellness offers a peaceful lounge space with an alchemy bar, spa treatment rooms, a fitness center, an outdoor wellness agora, and a yoga studio.

The ingredients in menus are sourced from local farms in communities surrounding AlUla, with the intention of bringing seasonal, fresh flavors to the table.
