Saudi Arabia Will Open Seahorse-Shaped Island in NEOM

Adding on to the touristic offerings of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious new city, NEOM, the kingdom will create a seahorse-shaped luxury island called Sindalah in the Red Sea, featuring a yacht club, three world-class resorts, a spa, over 50 high-end brands, and 86 piers. 

“Sindalah will be NEOM’s first luxury island and yacht club destination in the Red Sea, providing a scenic gateway to the Red Sea that will become the region’s most exciting and attractive tourism location,” Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman claimed during his announcement for the island.

NEOM developers have high hopes that Sindalah becomes the new frontier for leisure, exploration, and self-fulfillment in the Middle East, with sustainability, connectivity, and enjoyment in mind. The island will be free of any roads or cars, allowing people to reach essential amenities and services through five-minute walks.
