Dar Tantora The House Hotel
Since its opening in January 2024, Dar Tantora The House has represented the pinnacle of eco-luxury. Located in AlUla, an oasis in the Medina province, this boutique hotel harmoniously blends ancestral traditions with modern, environmentally conscious practices. Here, 30 rooms have been built using traditional methods of construction with raw earth bricks and insulation made from natural materials. To further enhance the authentic atmosphere, guests are encouraged to use soft lighting by candlelight and wick lamps to reduce energy consumption. This eco-responsible approach extends to the cuisine! Dar Tantora's zero-waste restaurant sources local ingredients and supports agricultural training programs for small regional producers. Finally, the hotel uses irrigation and ventilation systems specifically designed to minimize water and energy use. All these initiatives demonstrate the deep respect that Dar Tantora The House Hotel has for the exceptional environment that surrounds it!

Solar power, an architectural design focused on minimizing energy consumption, and irresistible aesthetics! Furthermore, the Six Senses Southern Dunes adheres to a strict plastic-free policy across all its operations. This commitment has been reinforced by the creation of an on-site water bottling plant, which provides still and sparkling water without the need for single-use plastic bottles. Brilliant!
