Chedi Hospitality, in partnership with Diriyah Company, has announced the launch of The Chedi Residences Wadi Safar. The exclusive collection of 20 branded villas will take shape within the cliffs of Diriyah’s Wadi Safar masterplan.
Designed by the architectural firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), these residences will embody Chedi’s philosophy of elegance and cultural authenticity, and will offer a blend of privacy, harmony, and views of the Greg Norman-designed Signature Golf Course.
Each four- and five-bedroom villa is integrated into the natural landscape, providing homeowners with five-star resort lifestyle. They can indulge in signature dining experiences, relax in wellness sanctuaries, fitness studios, and explore curated retail. An exclusive residents’ club, complete with a lounge, business corner, billiard room, and private event spaces is also part of the project, said a statement.
“Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 calls for destinations that honor heritage while embracing the future. At Diriyah, we are proud to partner with Chedi Hospitality to bring this vision to life. The Chedi Residences Wadi Safar will not only be an address of prestige, but a lifestyle defined by cultural connection, architectural excellence, and soulful living. The Chedi brand has long been admired for its philosophy of understated luxury, cultural authenticity, serenity and heartfelt hospitality service values that resonate deeply with the spirit of Diriyah and the connected lifestyle of today’s residents,” commented Jerry Inzerillo, Group CEO, Diriyah Company.
“For Chedi Hospitality, Wadi Safar is a natural expression of our brand essence, ‘A Voyage Unbound’. Our vision has always been to create sanctuaries that offer peace, belonging, and cultural connection, while responding to the lifestyle needs of today’s residents. In partnership with Diriyah Company, The Chedi Residences Wadi Safar will embody understated luxury rooted in tradition, elevated by design, and enriched by the award-winning service that Chedi is known for, crafted for modern living. Limited to 20 villas, they represent both a rare investment opportunity and the pride of ownership in one of the Kingdom’s most distinguished addresses combining exclusivity, long-term value, and the global prestige of the Chedi brand,” remarked Stephan Schupbach, CEO, Chedi Hospitality.
With direct access to Diriyah and only 25 minutes from King Khalid International Airport, placing 70% of the world’s population within eight hours’ reach, The Chedi Residences Wadi Safar represent one of Saudi Arabia’s real estate opportunities. The launch underscores Chedi Hospitality’s global expansion and its commitment to creating spaces of design, cultural belonging, and elevated living, the statement added.
The unveiling of The Chedi Residences Wadi Safar marks a significant milestone in Chedi Hospitality’s growth. It marks the first time the brand has expanded its portfolio of branded residences into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
