NEOM reveals Aquellum, a high-end development nestled within mountains and accessible through an underground canal and floating marina.
Situated along the Gulf of Aqaba coastline, Aquellum is concealed within a stunning 450m-high mountain range, integrating futuristic technology and avant-garde architecture seamlessly into its natural environment.
To reach Aquellum, visitors embark on an extraordinary journey starting at the world’s first floating marina. Boarding a specially designed vessel, they traverse a concealed underground canal, unveiling a hidden community for an exceptional sensory experience.
Inside, guests encounter a 100m-high vertical space with a remarkable courtyard stretching from water to sky. This subterranean digitalised community encompasses hotels, apartments, retail spaces, leisure zones, entertainment areas, and innovation hubs.
A dynamic boulevard connects diverse social spaces, world-class hospitality, arts, events, shopping, and dining, creating a unique atmosphere within Aquellum. “The Generator,” a signature space, hosts research labs for disruptors, innovators, and creative thinkers, reimagining the future.
Aquellum’s omnidirectional internal transit system facilitates easy access to upper floors, transporting residents to rooftop gardens with breathtaking coastal views. NEOM has aligned its commitment to conservation and innovation, and Aquellum complements its coastal location.
This new development joins Leyja, Epicon, Siranna, Utamo, and Norlana as sustainable tourism destinations in the Gulf of Aqaba, showcasing NEOM’s dedication to forward-thinking concepts, according to Arabian Business.
