Get ready to vacation in style, Marriott Autograph Collection AlUla is coming soon.

The lush property is the latest hotel to be added to the ever-growing hospitality portfolio of the oasis town.

Not only is the historic town set to be one of the first places to welcome an Autograph Collection hotel in the Kingdom, it will also be opening doors to one of the more unique properties.

The new AlUla hotel is celestial-inspired location that was first announced back in 2023.

Part of Saudi Vision 2030, an ambitious drive to move away from petroleum based economy, the hotel will bring its signature comfort and luxury to AlUla.

NUMAJ isn’t just a place to stay—it’s where heritage, nature, and stargazing vibes collide. Named after Nu Ursae Majoris, a star once used in Arabian navigation, NUMAJ nods to the past while pointing to new beginnings. Its Arabic name, “the first leap,” says it all: this is a destination about discovery, wonder, and looking up.

Dreamed up by GioForma, NUMAJ is designed as a “tapestry of the land”—think mashrabia patterns, carved stone, and earthy tones, all flowing with AlUla’s natural rhythm. It’s stylish, soulful, and seriously sustainable, with LEED Gold goals to back it up. Basically, it’s where stargazing meets eco-chic.
