Dusit International, a leading hotel and property development company in Thailand, has signed a hotel management agreement with Al Ghadeer Group to operate dusitD2 Al Ahsa, a new upper-upscale resort in Al Ahsa Oasis, Saudi Arabia, a Unesco World Heritage Site in the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula.
The resort, set to open in 2027, will offer 120 spacious suites, each with a private terrace and plunge pool, providing an elevated sense of privacy and relaxation.
Designed by Cairo-based El Ghoneimi Architects, the resort's masterplan draws inspiration from the desert's timeless beauty, nearby mountains, and the life-giving symbolism of the palm tree.
Guests will enjoy a comprehensive range of premium facilities, including a wellness centre with private treatment rooms, meditation areas, yoga and holistic healing spaces, a ballroom and outdoor event lawn for weddings and large social gatherings, well-equipped meeting rooms for business travellers, a vibrant all-day dining restaurant, a lobby cafe offering light gourmet fare, a outdoor swimming pool with an adjoining kids' pool, and a dedicated kids club providing engaging activities in a safe and stimulating environment.
Surrounded by cultural and ecological treasures such as Al Qarah Mountain, Juatha Park, and the historic Qaisariah Souq, the resort is positioned to serve as a gateway for domestic and international travellers seeking meaningful experiences and immersive stays amid the largest oasis in the world.
“This important signing reflects our strategic commitment to bringing Dusit's unique brand of Thai-inspired, gracious hospitality to key destinations worldwide and our dedication to delivering sustainable value for the communities we serve,” said Gilles Cretallaz, Chief Operating Officer, Dusit International. “We are delighted to partner with Al Ghadeer Group to create a destination that celebrates Al Ahsa's rich heritage and natural beauty while offering exceptional comfort, modern luxury, responsible design, and memorable experiences for guests of all ages.” -TradeArabia News Service
