A mini vacation is less than an hour away from your homes. It involves little prepping and planning, transports you to an entirely different place, and upgrades your weekend to a vacation like no other. Welcome to the Nofa Resort Riyadh, A Radisson Collection Hotel, your new vacation destination in Riyadh.
In these challenging times, most vacation plans and trips abroad were halted due to the suspension of international flights to and from Saudi Arabia, part of the precautionary measures to curb the spread of this century’s biggest threat yet: COVID-19. Many have been staying at home, trying to make the best of the situation by spending more time with family and trying all creative and fun activities that can be done at home. A reprieve has been given when most of the lockdowns and curfews were lifted. People can travel again, albeit locally and domestic.
With this, it’s time to take that Nofa Resort staycation, the vacation of your dreams that costs less, gives fresher experiences, and makes the perfect gift.
A staycation is considered as a holiday spent in one’s home country rather than abroad, or one spent at home and involves day trips to local attractions. In our vocabulary, a staycation right now is traveling 45 minutes away from Riyadh city proper and venturing out to Nofa Resort, a one-of-a-kind retreat that boasts of secluded luxury villas tastefully designed with decors from Africa, the continent it’s inspired from.
A Nofa Staycation Is Worth It
Staycations are considered cost-effective. There’s little preparation and planning involved in going on a vacation without leaving the province. There’s no flights to worry about. Traveling to Nofa only involves a private vehicle and the road to the resort is quite scenic; say goodbye to the urban jungle and say hello to lush palm groves, undulating red sands, and amazing sunrises in the distance.
The Nofa Resort Riyadh, A Radisson Collection Hotel, is the perfect place to get a high quality resting time. It has 57 private villas to choose from, each one built to reflect African heritage with Arabian hospitality. Beds are draped with fabrics and amenities are within reach. Each villa has its own garden and pool making it truly a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of the city life.
The resort welcomes back its guests in the healthiest conditions. They are committed in delivering a clean and safe environment through various health and safety protocols that give guests peace of mind. A new 20-step protocol which includes round-the-clock cleaning and disinfection procedures, use of protective equipment and updated training for staff is in place. In keeping with the guidelines of the Ministry of Health, physical distancing is being practiced inside the resort grounds, along with the availability of sanitation areas. Your safety is of utmost importance.
A Luxe Vacation
At the resort, your worries are lifted with fresh experiences like no other. The resort boasts of three restaurants: the bright and sunny Tswalu Restaurant where breakfasts start your day right, the refreshing Alfresco Italian Restaurant just beside the resort’s sparkling pool that offers freshly-baked pizzas, and the upscale Butcher’s Den that serves fresh-off-the-grill seafood and meats. Apart from the luxury dining options, the resort also lends guests electric bikes to see the beautiful landscapes and trails. The main swimming pool in the middle of the resort is stunning. While it’s not open for swimming this time, just looking at its pristine sparkling water will certainly melt stress away.
Nofa Resort offers various water sports in its lake. It has also introduced a VIP safari tour. For SR 200 per person, the resort will arrange a Mercedes VIP van that will take a maximum of 6 guests on a 1-hour tour to their famous vast animal park. The park promises a learning and engaging safari experience. Guests will see over 700 animals, many of which are classified as endangered.
Whether you choose to stay for a day or for the weekend at the resort, it will surely be a holiday like no other! It’s time to upgrade your days with a themed staycation at Nofa Resort Riyadh, A Radisson Collection Hotel.
