NEOM has revealed the Gidori, an exclusive private golf community designed by Aedas Middle East that sets amidst the breathtaking coastal hills of the Gulf of Aqaba in northwest Saudi Arabia. Gidori is an exclusive destination that effortlessly combines world-class golf and active leisure in an ultra-modern community for golfers and non-golfers.
Aedas Middle East Global Design Principal Ignacio Gomez shares, ‘Gidori is an ultimate experience of community living. A series of spaces offering points of connection between humans and nature.’ With ambitious architecture that blends with the dramatic natural landscape, Gidori hosts luxury hospitality, premium residences, and a range of sports and leisure amenities that offer an unmatched living experience.
The progressive architectural centerpiece is a beach-front complex with a spectacular cantilevered structure. Rising from the coastal landscape, it will house 190 luxury sea-view apartments alongside a range of dining experiences, signature retail stores and garden spaces. ‘Different textures of glass and metallic surfaces are adopted to create a vibrant movement of shade and light.’ Ignacio says.
Gidori’s 18-hole championship golf course and clubhouse sweeps inland through low hills and rocky outcrops. Placed along the golf course is a limited series of 200 individually designed and highly desirable private villas and homes. Visitors to Gidori can also stay in the 80-room boutique luxury hotel, which provides a variety of uniquely designed rooms and distinctive contemporary suites. The hotel includes restaurants and lounges, a well-being spa, a gym, multiple swimming pools and an exclusive theatre for curated entertainment.
As part of NEOM’s commitment to conservation, Gidori creates natural spaces for active leisure and blends seamlessly with the local environment. The surroundings are perfect for outdoor activities such as hiking, on and off-road cycling, and scenic walks. The beach club will offer relaxed hospitality and entertainment, with an extensive selection of water sports for all ages and experiences. Ignacio adds, ‘Gidori is the power of bringing together people, community and nature to create a powerful new future.’
Gidori is a testament to where creative design and cutting-edge technologies push the boundaries. To expand our commitment to innovation, Aedas will continue to participate in the NEOM’s mega development, including Trojena Ski Village, a futuristic year-round tourist destination.
