Neom City is doing what it does best: disseminating to incorporate yet another luxurious development into its exquisite ecosystem. Introducing Zardun, a beautiful coastal asset that will join the esteemed ranks of Norlana, Aquellum, Siranna, and others, all overlooking the crystalline waters of the Gulf of Aqaba. Zardun is set to take shape as a nature-based resort, featuring four ultra-luxury signature buildings spread generously across a sprawling area of four square kilometers.
These solid structures will be segmented into three luxurious boutique hotels, each with different themes to offer a variety of experiences, alongside a wide array of experiences. Zardun will boast 100 rooms and suites, each offering amazing views of the valley and sea. Adrenaline-packed adventures are plentiful here, in addition to the quieter, state-of-the-art experience center, featuring a 360-degree observation deck.
Zardun will offer activities like trekking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and various other sports. For those seeking relaxation, there are serene options such as stargazing, meditation, and yoga. Emphasizing nature, educational and field programs focused on nature protection, conservation, and rewilding are integral to Zardun’s sustainability strategy, fostering environmental stewardship and preservation by vehemently supporting its vibrant ecosystem.
DiscoverNeom posted a carousal of impressive images on Instagram with a caption, ‘Take a closer look at Zardun, NEOM’s restorative nature and wildlife retreat, for a luxury ecotourism experience like no other.’ While many were stunned by the design and structure of Zardun, some followers compared it to a Martian prison and questioned the carbon footprint of constructing the project.
One commented, ‘I’m a fan of Neom but guys, this looks like a Martian prison! For an eco-place, you need lush plants, wildlife, clear water etc… not a stony desert. Maybe rerender these? Or turn it into a gamer retreat? Another one stated, ‘Everything is luxury and everything looks like a subterranean world out of a dystopian movie. Where is the light? Where are all the ‚normal’ people living? Where is the nature? It’s not built to live with nature. It’s not built for normal wealth people.’
