Dusit International has signed an agreement to manage a new resort, dusitD2 Al Ahsa, set to open in 2027 in Al Ahsa Oasis, Saudi Arabia.
Dusit International has entered into a hotel management agreement with Al Ghadeer Group to operate a new resort, dusitD2 Al Ahsa, in Al Ahsa Oasis, Saudi Arabia. The resort is scheduled to open in 2027 and will be located in a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the eastern Arabian Peninsula.
The dusitD2 Al Ahsa will feature 120 suites, ranging from one-bedroom to three-bedroom configurations. Each suite will include a private terrace and plunge pool. The resort’s design, crafted by Cairo-based El Ghoneimi Architects, will incorporate elements inspired by the surrounding desert landscape and local cultural motifs.
Facilities at the resort will include a wellness center with private treatment rooms, yoga and meditation areas, a 1,500 square meter ballroom, and outdoor event spaces. Dining options will consist of an all-day restaurant and a lobby café. Additional amenities will include a large outdoor swimming pool, a children’s pool, and a kids club.
The resort’s location offers proximity to cultural and ecological sites such as Al Qarah Mountain, Juatha Park, and the historic Qaisariah Souq. It is situated 30 minutes from Al Ahsa International Airport and 90 minutes from Dammam.
The dusitD2 Al Ahsa will be the second Dusit-branded property in Saudi Arabia, following the upcoming opening of Dusit Princess Al Majma’ah in Riyadh, expected in the fourth quarter of this year.
