If self-care means mountain air, quiet mornings, and switching off your phones, then here’s a spot you need to add to your bucket list. ENVI Al Shafa, set to open in 2026-27, is an upcoming wellness retreat taking shape in the hills near Taif, Saudi Arabia. So if you plan a future wellness-focused escape, you know where to book.
ENVI Al Shafa To Open In Taif As Saudi Arabia’s New High-Altitude Wellness Retreat
Perched more than 2,000 metres above sea level, ENVI Al Shafa positions itself as one of Saudi Arabia’s first high-altitude wellness lodges. Taif isn’t about flashy luxury but is focused on comfort, calm, and connection. It’s suitable for families, solo travellers, and multi-generational groups.
A Mountain Retreat Rooted In Nature And Balance
Perched high against sweeping valley views, ENVI Al Shafa features one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas.
According to details shared via the official Zawya website, the project reflects a growing focus on wellness-led tourism in the Kingdom, with experiences that make you feel grounded.
ENVI Al Shafa leans into the idea of providing a cosy destination with a lounge inspired by Alpine retreats.
For dining, the main restaurant centres around an open-flame grill overlooking the valley. So, get ready to savour your meals, serving rustic Mediterranean, farm-style dishes with a view. There’s also a dedicated cooking studio where guests can learn regional recipes, understand nutrition better, and enjoy hands-on, farm-to-table experiences.
Wellness For Every Generation
ENVI Al Shafa focuses on shared well-being. The wellness centre offers customised programmes for all ages. From children joining mindfulness and movement sessions to adults exploring longevity and stress management, and seniors benefit from gentle rejuvenation therapies.
Outside, the ENVI Garden doubles as a meditation space and a working chef’s garden. Herbs and plants grown here are used in the kitchen and wellness treatments.

More Than Just A Holiday Stay
Beyond relaxation, ENVI Al Shafa also caters to private wellness retreats, corporate off-sites, and spiritual escapes. An entertainment hub and pottery workshop present at the site piques interest in offbeat experiences among guests.
With wellness tourism in Saudi Arabia expected to reach SAR 26 billion by 2030, ENVI Al Shafa arrives as a response to travellers who seek comfort and nature without a hectic schedule.
