Tourexpi
Developed
in collaboration with world-renowned Italian designer Stefano Ricci, the
Sindalah Yacht Club is set to become a premier destination for yacht owners,
offering an unmatched gateway to the Red Sea.
Marking
Stefano Ricci’s first club design, the Sindalah Yacht Club spans 1,800 square
meters in an idyllic setting on NEOM’s inaugural island development. With
Sindalah set to become a magnet for the world’s yachting community and leisure
travelers, this state-of-the-art venue is poised to be a signature gathering
spot on the island, reflecting the artistry and vision of its creators.
Future
guests and club members will enjoy breathtaking views at the Sindalah Yacht
Club while relaxing by its serene terrace pool. The venue will also
feature a lounge, and an exclusive fine-dining experience curated by Chef
Enrico Bartolini, a culinary maestro whose restaurants have collectively earned
13 Michelin stars. The venue will offer elevated Italian cuisine, perfectly
complementing Stefano Ricci’s vision of refinement.
Nicholas
Smith, General Manager of Sindalah, said: “As we place the finishing
touches on NEOM’s inaugural island destination, we are thrilled to share
with the world a behind-the-scenes look at what Sindalah will have to offer.
Our partnership with Stefano Ricci represents our dedication to enthralling
future visitors and offering a truly premium experience for the world’s
yachting enthusiasts.”
Stefano
Ricci, Founder and Chairman of STEFANO RICCI, said: “I entered the
Sindalah Yacht Club project because I believe that NEOM is a visionary
undertaking ahead of its time, like Florence which became the cradle of the
Renaissance. It’s a beautiful jump into the future that recalls our mission. As
a Florentine designer, I hope to have conveyed the fine stylistic balance that
ideally unites these two worlds.”
Inspired
by nature’s splendor and famed Italian artistry, the Sindalah Yacht Club’s
interior design is rich in both grandeur and historical influence. Reflecting
the island’s natural charm, the Yacht Club's interiors feature white Carrara
marble, while accents of Sindalah Blue – a unique color created by Stefano
Ricci to represent the island’s pristine surrounding waters – glimmer in
briar-root wood surfaces. The restaurant’s coffered ceiling and hand-woven
textiles from the historic Antico Setificio Fiorentino in Florence add a
refined touch of sophistication to the space.
IGY
Marinas will oversee the management of the Sindalah Yacht Club, offering
exceptional services to yacht owners and club guests alike. Designed to offer a
sophisticated haven, the Sindalah Marina will provide outstanding berthing
facilities for superyachts up to 180 meters in length. With its prime location,
it offers direct access to some of the world’s most beautiful waters, making it
an ideal year-round home port for adventurers and luxury seekers.
