After winning the design competition, Aedas took on the project of designing The Oberoi Wadi Safar, an ultra-luxury landmark hospitality project situated in a natural retreat, northwest of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The masterplan is designed as a date farm, with 55 Standard villas, 4 Deluxe, and 1 Presidential Suite arranged around courtyards in the ultra-luxury hotel to be operated by Oberoi. It also features 10 branded residential villas, a ballroom, one specialty restaurant, a pool bar, a spa, a fitness center and a kids center, private gardens, and the main falaj (a traditional irrigation channel), creating an enchanting and harmonious living environment. Deluxe Villas and the Presidential Villa are situated in prime locations, boasting private gardens, pools, and exceptional views for a truly exclusive luxury experience.
The palms, the irrigation system (falaj), the crops and the fields offer an alternative approach to the urban grid. The palm groves and water dominate the distribution of spaces, and more importantly the arrays of experiences. Aedas fully utilizes this extraordinary site by creating a lush oasis of ‘thousand date palms’, alongside the falaj and multiple water features.
