Marriott International has inked a deal with NEOM to open its second ultra-luxury Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Saudia Arabia in Trojena, the mountain destination located in the northwest region of the kingdom.

Ritz-Carlton Reserve currently features only six properties in destinations, including Thailand, Indonesia, Puerto Rico, and Mexico.

Chadi Hauch, regional VP Lodging Development, Middle East, Marriott International, said:  “Ritz-Carlton Reserve features a portfolio of exclusive properties that offer an intimate and transformative experience rooted in heartfelt care and human connection. Together with NEOM, we look forward to bringing this ultra-luxury experience to Trojena.”

The resort is poised to feature 60 expansive one-to-four-bedroom villas, each meticulously designed to blend with the destination’s natural environment. Plans include a lavish spa, swimming pools, and multiple culinary venues.

Trojena, a flagship development within NEOM, is a year-round adventure sports destination, offering activities such as skiing, water sports, hiking, and mountain biking.

The signing of the Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Trojena marks the seventh collaboration between Marriott International and NEOM.

Chris Newman, executive director of NEOM Hotel Division, said: “We are excited to announce the collaboration with Ritz-Carlton Reserve within the unique mountains of Trojena. This is a very special project which merits only the most exceptional and exclusive of brands.”

The hospitality giant and NEOM are expected to unveil two unique concepts later this year.
