A trip to the Eastern Province is not complete without a trip to the beach. Its waters draw crowds of all ages, and its location – just 4 hours from Riyadh – makes it an idyllic weekend trip for locals and expats. There are a lot of luxurious and unique resorts in the very popular Half Moon Bay area but if you’re looking for one that is far from the hustle and bustle of city life or the bay, HDB Alkhobar Resort and Spa is one good option.
HDB Alkhobar Resort and Spa is one of the newest go-to resorts in the East Coast of Saudi Arabia. It’s a sight to behold with its newly-renovated beachfront accommodations that look like a utopian society with its perfect and almost similar gray concrete chalets and villas. The shimmering heat haze welcomed us when we arrived in our one-bedroom villa, a few feet away from the shore. Our villa has ample amenities: a seating area, a flat-screen tv, and a bathroom. Each villa comes with a terrace and a garden or ocean view, depending on the location. Some villas also have their own pool. Room service is available 24/7.
One of HDB Resort’s pride is its private beach area where guests can sunbathe in the sand and frolic in the warm water. Guests are welcome to wear proper beachwear and you can find yourself hours out in the water, either swimming, paddling, or jet skiing. The sandy shore is fine and clean and kids can make sandcastles or run around. If not for Alkhobar’s very humid weather during the time of our trip, we would have found ourselves on the beach every day of our stay. The resort has a restaurant for food options (their Alfredo is delicious!) and there are small food trucks by the shore that sell drinks (much-needed when under the sun). We enjoyed our 3-day stay in the resort.
HDB Alkhobar Resort and Spa is a welcome addition to the bustling resort community in the Eastern Province.
