Set 2,000 meters above sea level in Taif, Saudi Arabia, ENVI Al Shafa promises an immersive wellness experience for families and discerning travellers alike.
A Retreat in the Clouds
Nestled in the serene hills near Taif, ENVI Al Shafa is the first high-altitude lodge of its kind in the Kingdom. Scheduled to open in December 2026, the lodge combines refined luxury with a grounded connection to nature, offering a unique sanctuary at over 2,000 meters.
Villas with Panoramic Views
The mountain retreat will feature one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas designed for privacy and comfort. Each unit frames sweeping valley vistas, harmonising seamlessly with the surrounding landscape to create an intimate yet immersive experience.
Culinary and Experiential Journeys
Guests will be welcomed into a lounge inspired by luxury Alpine resorts. The lodge’s restaurant, centred around an open-flame grill, will offer Mediterranean farm-style cuisine, while the cooking studio invites visitors to explore local recipes, nutrition, and farm-to-table gastronomy.
Wellness for Every Generation
ENVI Al Shafa has been thoughtfully designed for multi-generational wellbeing. The wellness centre offers mindfulness sessions for children, longevity therapies for adults, and rejuvenating treatments for seniors. The ENVI Garden doubles as a meditation space and a chef’s garden, enriching both the culinary and wellness experience.
Family, Leisure, and Creativity
From an entertainment hub to a pottery workshop, the retreat encourages families to slow down and share meaningful moments. ENVI Al Shafa also caters to private wellness escapes, corporate off-sites, and spiritual retreats, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s emerging wellness tourism market.
Strategic Location and Accessibility
Situated close to Jeddah and Mecca, and with the expanding operations at Taif International Airport, ENVI Al Shafa ensures seamless access for regional and international travellers, including direct connections to Riyadh, the UAE, and Egypt – making it an ideal destination for those seeking serenity without compromise.
A Vision for Experiential Hospitality
ENVI Lodges continues its commitment to immersive, nature-centric luxury. Through careful design, sustainability, and culturally relevant experiences, ENVI Al Shafa aims to elevate Taif and Al Hada as central pillars of Saudi Arabia’s mountain tourism.
“This project perfectly aligns with our mission to create immersive escapes and adds to the growing momentum behind Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030,” says Chris Nader, Co-founder of ENVI Lodges.
