Officially, Sindalah was opened in October 2024; however, the "opening" only seemed to cover the yacht club, as none of its hotels are operating yet. As of 2026, even the yacht club appears to have closed.
Sindalah is a luxury island destination in Tabuk Province, Saudi Arabia. Sindalah is one of the various announced regions in Neom City. The island covers a total area of 840,000 m2. Sindalah held a "grand opening" party in October 2024, three years after its scheduled opening date and coming in at a cost of nearly $4 billion, three times its initial budget. As of August 2025 the resort is still not open to the public.
