In the burgeoning northwest region of Saudi Arabia, NEOM’s Board of Directors has unveiled their latest project, Aquellum, a high-end and immersive establishment nestled within the mountains. This venture is a testament to the area’s continuous evolution and showcases a commitment to utilizing cutting-edge technology, innovative architecture, and progressive ideas to redefine luxurious living.
As per the details shared by NEOM, Aquellum is artfully concealed within a majestic mountain range along the Gulf of Aqaba coastline, soaring 450 meters above sea level. This visionary ecosystem is designed to merge seamlessly with its natural environment, setting a new standard for originality and creativity in its design and construction.
Guests looking to explore Aquellum will begin their adventure at the first floating marina in the world, from where they will travel via a custom-built vessel through a hidden canal. This entrance leads to an exclusive underground community that promises a multi-sensory experience.
Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by a stunning 100-meter-high vertical space, extending from the water to the sky, forming the heart of this subterranean digital community. The space is a dynamic mix of residential areas, retail outlets, leisure and entertainment facilities, and hubs of innovation, all designed to foster a vibrant, interconnected environment.
Connecting these diverse spaces is a boulevard that weaves through the property, linking social spots, hospitality venues, art installations, event areas, as well as shopping and dining experiences. At ‘The Generator’, creative minds have access to research labs where they can collaborate and envision the future.
An innovative omnidirectional internal transit system ensures effortless movement to higher levels, allowing for easy transportation to homes, hotels, and rooftop gardens that offer stunning views of the coast.
Aquellum reflects NEOM’s dedication to the intersection of nature, luxury, innovation, and lifestyle. This new addition aligns with the company’s goals of conservation and pioneering development. Aquellum joins a series of sustainable tourism projects like Leyja, Epicon, Siranna, Utamo, and Norlana, enhancing the Gulf of Aqaba’s allure as a destination.
