Set in the incredible Ashar Valley, Banyan Tree AlUla offers a desert retreat in the form of villa-style rooms (some even with private pools). With dramatic rock formations as your backdrop, you’ll find plenty to do, like exploring ancient sites like Hegra or relaxing at the canyon-side spa. The restaurants are great too, especially the Thai spot with chefs flown in from Thailand. It's a one-of-a-kind getaway with plenty of adventure and stunning scenery.
