What if I told you Saudi Arabia’s got a luxury island opening soon? Sindalah, a dazzling part of the Saudi Transformation under Vision 2030, is NEOM’s first tourism jewel—and I’m thrilled to share it with you! Announced by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, this Red Sea island is set to welcome guests in 2024. Let’s explore why Sindalah’s your next travel obsession and how it’s kicking off the Kingdom’s tourism boom!
What’s Sindalah All About?
Think 840,000 square meters of island paradise off NEOM’s coast—86 yacht berths, 413 hotel rooms, 88 villas, and a vibe aimed at the global yachting crowd. Sindalah’s got three luxury hotels from Marriott, a beach club, and a spa, all opening in 2024. I’ve been checking out its details on NEOM’s Sindalah page, and it’s pitched as a “scenic gateway to the Red Sea.” Your luxe escape starts here—can you feel the excitement?
Vision 2030’s Tourism Kickoff
Sindalah’s the first Vision 2030 project to greet tourists, fueling that 150-million-visitor goal by 2030. It’s a key piece of the Saudi Transformation’s push to diversify, and I’ve seen how it’s showcasing the Red Sea’s beauty—think coral reefs and yachting galore. Want the full story?

Progress and Luxe Vibes
It’s on track for a 2024 debut—drone footage from The Saudi Boom shows construction flying. I’ve read it’ll create 3,500 jobs and draw 2,400 visitors daily by 2028, per Arab News. Features include a yacht club, gourmet dining, and underwater adventures—though I’ve noticed chatter about logistics costs on X. Still, it’s a luxury leap forward that’s got me buzzing!
