About This Pool
Oppenheim Architecture's desert masterpiece rises directly from ancient granite in Saudi Arabia's Hejaz Mountains. Private plunge pools hang from rock pinnacles and tuck into cliff faces, each one a different vantage point over a dramatic valley. One of the most architecturally audacious hotel openings of 2025.
