Celebrate a magical New Year’s Eve at Banyan Tree AlUla
Sponsored: Savour the last moments of the year…
In the blink of an eye, the year is almost over. We say it’s time to leave all of the cares of 2024 in the past and bring on the fabulous banquet and a party full of good vibrations.
So, if you’re looking to usher in 2025 on a high, head up to AlUla, where Banyan Tree AlUla is calling with plenty of festivities.
Relish your last break before the new year rolls around with a tranquil desert retreat. Enjoy luxurious accommodations in a Dune One-Bedroom Villa, a spacious, stylish room that greets you with rolling desert vistas from its floor-to-ceiling windows, complete with a private swimming pool.
Although a dip in the jaw-dropping Rock Pool, nestled between the rugged rocks, is an unmissable part of the Banyan Tree AlUla – it’s a scene out of a dream.
Beyond the breathtaking getaway in the resort’s private villas, you can also enjoy festive feasts and treats.
Cheers to new beginnings with an enchanting New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner at Saffron. The award-winning Thai signature restaurant beckons with a sumptuous five-course menu crafted by Chef Gede Widyarsana.
Savour creations like the Red Sea lobster paired with avocado and fig arugula, Patagonian Toothfish served with purple curry and tropical Asian slaw, and Full Blood Wagyu adorned with a zaatar crust and complemented by truffle hummus.
Kick off the evening under the desert sky in the serene beauty of AlUla with sunset mocktails before you graze on a selection of canapés. Throw in live DJ entertainment to dial up the celebrations and welcome the new year in style.
Or, wake up to a whole new decade on January 1, 2025, and make your way to Harrat for a celebratory New Year’s Day Brunch. Let yourself indulge in a hearty all-day menu, which features a variety of freshly made pastries, breakfast classics, and regional dishes, including highlights like crab cakes, polenta-crusted eggs, and golden-brown, cheesy Welsh rarebit.
To cap it all off, Banyan Tree AlUla also offers a range of immersive experiences to enhance the celebration. Explore the natural beauty of the breathtaking Ashar Valley through stargazing tours, hot air balloon rides, and scenic desert hikes. For those seeking relaxation, the Banyan Tree Spa provides treatments designed to rejuvenate the mind and body, setting the stage for a refreshing start to the new year.
Whether you’re celebrating with family or friends, there will be plenty of festivities at Banyan Tree AlUla that are guaranteed to surprise and mesmerise you.
