In the bustling city of Riyadh, finding a serene and captivating escape can be a challenge. However, just an hour’s drive away lies Nofa Resort—a hidden gem offering a refreshing retreat. As you pass through the resort’s grand gates, you’ll find yourself in a lush African-inspired oasis where Arabian Oryx, ostriches, and zebras roam freely.
Founded in 1980 by Prince Sultan Mohammed Bin Saud Alkabeer, Nofa Resort embodies his vision of bringing a touch of Africa to the Arabian desert. With luxurious amenities, stunning greenery, and an array of exciting activities, Nofa Resort is the ideal day getaway for families, friends, and nature lovers seeking an unforgettable experience.
A Paradise of Luxury

Unparalleled Family Entertainment
Since our last visit a few years ago, Nofa Resort has undergone incredible transformations, offering even more entertainment options for guests. The newly-added entertainment center is a hub of excitement, featuring a kids’ indoor play and climb area, a cinema, an indoor pool, a teen fun room, a bowling center, and an outdoor 18-hole mini-golf course. Another new addition are padel courts, for guests to enjoy this sport that is growing in popularity across Saudi.
Amani Spa and Fitness Centers
The center features separate men’s and women’s spas and fitness facilities, providing adults with a sanctuary for rejuvenation and relaxation. Each spa is equipped with multiple treatment rooms, an aromatic steam room, and a traditional hammam for a truly indulgent experience. The ladies’ outdoor pool, framed by a serene relaxation deck, offers the perfect spot to unwind before or after spa treatments. This tranquil space can also be reserved for private events. The spa has become a popular retreat for adults seeking a peaceful escape, allowing them to relax, refresh, and recharge for the day.

Nofa Resort offers a diverse array of dining experiences to satisfy every palate. Tswalu, an African-inspired restaurant, serves international dishes perfect for casual, all-day dining.
