Saudi’s Futuristic NEOM City Teases Sea-Facing Hotel With Hexagonal Pillars
Earlier this year, Saudi Arabia announced it was beginning construction on NEOM—a futuristic megacity that will transform the country’s deserts into a 106-mile-long vertical city.
Now, the authorities behind the project have unveiled the next phase of the development: Siranna. Dubbed an “exclusive tourism escape,” this destination will sit on the Gulf of Aqaba.
Harmonizing ultra-luxurious living with the natural beauty of its surroundings, the site will feature a 65-key hotel and 35 private residences, catering to those seeking an exclusive retreat.

One of the most striking features of the hotel is its tiered design, providing guests with uninterrupted views of the Red Sea.
The architecture, characterized by hexagonal pillars, emerges seamlessly from the rugged coastal terrain, complementing the surrounding mountains and flora.
Guests will arrive through a journey of natural rock formations, leading to a secluded bay and the property’s enchanting entrance.

Within the confines of the space, visitors can enjoy a variety of amenities, including a signature beach club, world-class spas, and wellness programs.
For those seeking a closer connection with nature, winding discovery trails offer explorations on foot or horseback, where the sea, mountain, and wadi converge.
Additionally, dining and entertainment options aim to cater to a wide array of tastes and interests.

Due to its location in the midst of nature, a guiding principle of Siranna’s development is minimal environmental intervention.
The architects hope to focus on preserving the landscape, using deliberate techniques to maintain the natural setting while paying homage to the local heritage.
