Magna will focus on cutting-edge technology, world-class architecture, and ultra-modern amenities integrated with nature
The Board of Directors of NEOM has revealed the development of Magna, its luxury lifestyle coastal destination. Part of NEOM’s regional sustainable tourism portfolio, the new development is located along the beautiful Gulf of Aqaba coastline and includes the newly announced premier destinations of Leyja, Epicon, Siranna, Utamo, Norlana, Aquellum, Zardun, Xaynor, Elanan, Gidori, Treyam, and Jaumur.
The twelve destinations will span 120 kilometres and are poised to set a new global standard in luxury sustainable tourism. As the physical embodiment of the ambitious and future-focused Saudi Vision 2030, this area will be developed with a core focus on cutting-edge technology, world-class architecture, and ultra-modern amenities that effortlessly merge with nature.
Each destination within Magna is a world of its own, offering unique experiences for residents and guests. Yet, they seamlessly blend together to form a unified destination. The conservation, preservation, and rejuvenation of native flora, fauna, and the breathtaking natural landscape will be at the heart of this integration. The development will comprise 15 luxury hotels, 1,600 hotel rooms, suites and apartments, and over 2,500 premium residences across its destinations, promising a truly exceptional lifestyle.
Nadhmi Al-Nasr, Chief Executive Officer, NEOM, said: “NEOM’s premier coastal region of Magna is tomorrow’s treasure, steeped in natural beauty and advanced technology. With our three pillars of redefining business, conservation, and livability, Magna will be key in building a strong tourism ecosystem within NEOM. Importantly, Magna will contribute positively to the national economic diversification efforts and the broader Saudi Vision 2030 goals, helping position the Kingdom as a global leader in luxury tourism.”
Aligned with the transformative Saudi Vision 2030, Magna and its destinations are not just about luxury and sustainability. They are also about economic growth. The project is set to create a staggering 15,000 jobs across the tourism, leisure, and hospitality sectors, contributing a substantial SAR2.6 billion to the Kingdom’s GDP by 2030. It will accommodate 14,500 residents and welcome over 300,000 overnight visitors annually. This presents an unprecedented opportunity for investors and developers to be part of one of the world’s most pioneering projects, with sustainability embedded in every stage from design to construction, and long-term maintenance.
Magna is the newest region within NEOM’s evolving giga-project development in northwest Saudi Arabia. It follows in the footsteps of other notable regions such as Sindalah, THE LINE, Trojena, and Oxagon, further expanding the scope and impact of the NEOM project.
