IHG® Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement with Dallah Real Estate Company for a Hotel Indigo Resort in Durrat Al Arus, Jeddah. With this signing, IHG continues to expand its lifestyle portfolio in the country to cater to the future demand from new guest segments.

Due to open in early 2026, the Hotel Indigo Resort will be located in Durrat Al Arus, a recreational neighborhood north of Jeddah, and will be a leisurely drive away from the main city. The resort will be a part of a mixed-use development project consisting of a budding residential community, vast water frontage and man-made lagoons. Located along the Red Sea Coast, Hotel Indigo Resort in Durrat Al Arus will also be a perfect destination for guests to enjoy an active waterfront.

Along with 271 rooms, the resort will feature 50 private pool villas, a wellness facility, and homegrown food and beverage concepts that will offer a unique perspective to dining in Saudi Arabia.

Dallah Real Estate Company has also partnered with 17Sixty – a marine adventure company that will enable the guests of Hotel Indigo, and residents of Jeddah, to experience marine flora and fauna like never before, keeping sustainability at its core. The company will also offer thrilling water sports to guests.

Haitham Mattar, managing director, India, Middle East & Africa of IHG said: “After debuting the brand in Riyadh, we are delighted to sign our second Hotel Indigo property in the country this year: Hotel Indigo Durrat Al Arus in Jeddah.
