NEOM, the disruptive developer changing turning Saudi Arabia’s northwestern coast into a future destination for luxury living, announces their newest project, Aquellum. This visionary community concealed within a stunning 450-meter-high mountain range along the Gulf of Aqaba coastline, promises to blend cutting-edge technology, innovative architecture, and pioneering concepts to create an unparalleled experiential destination.
Arriving
Accessing Aquellum is an extraordinary journey in itself. Arriving at the world’s first floating marina, guests embark on a specially-designed vessel, navigating through a hidden underground canal to reveal a state-of-the-art world inside. This unprecedented approach sets the tone for an incredible sensory journey that awaits within the heart of the mountains.
Inside
Inside Aquellum, visitors are treated to a breathtaking 100-meter-high vertical experience, featuring an expansive courtyard that spans from water level to the sky. This digitalized subterranean community seamlessly integrates hotel accommodation, apartments, retail spaces, leisure and entertainment zones, and cutting-edge hubs to foster vibrancy and interconnectivity.
A dynamic boulevard winds through the courtyard, linking diverse social spaces, world-class hospitality, immersive arts, events, shopping, and dining. The crowning jewel, ‘The Generator,’ hosts unique research labs, providing a space for disruptors, innovators, and creative thinkers to reimagine the future.
Transportation
Aquellum’s commitment to luxury and innovation is further exemplified by an omnidirectional internal transit system, ensuring easy access to upper floors. This system efficiently transports residents and visitors to their homes and hotels, ascending to rooftop gardens that boast breathtaking coastal views.
Aquellum follows NEOM’s recent announcements of sustainable tourism destinations, including Leyja, Epicon, Siranna, Utamo, and Norlana, all strategically located in the Gulf of Aqaba.
