Mark Foster Gage Architects designs "secret garden" spa resort for Neom
Saudi mega project Neom has revealed the design of the Elanan spa and hotel that is set to be built on a natural oasis on Gulf of Aqaba as its latest development.
Designed by American studio Mark Foster Gage Architects, the Elanan resort will contain 80 rooms and suites along with well-being facilities.
It will be built on a natural oasis that is fed by natural springs and is intended to feel like being in a "secret garden".
The Elanan spa will be designed by Mark Foster Gage Architects
"Elanan is a resort in the Gulf of Aqaba that is nestled in a beautiful and natural environment, almost like a kind of secret garden," said Mark Foster Gage Architects founder Mark Foster Gage.
"You see it's this cube popping up from the treetops. And you're like, what is this incredible place. And once you step through that doorway you're in another world," he continued. "Architecture and nature come together and form something that is more beautiful than either of them would have been independently."
It will contain 80 hotel rooms arranged around numerous pools
The resort will have hotel blocks, villas and golden observation towers arranged around numerous pools. At the centre of the resort will be two large swimming pools connected by a waterfall.
According to the studio, the resort was designed to contain a series of spaces that visitors can discover.
