The color of mood is blue

Sindalah Marina has become the first in Saudi Arabia to receive the prestigious "5 Gold Anchors" accreditation from The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA), cementing its status as a premier yachting destination.

The marina was developed as part of the "luxury island" concept of Neom, a visionary project launched in 2017 by Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The initiative aims to establish world-class tourism infrastructure along the shores of the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea.

Sindalah Marina features 86 berths and 75 mooring buoys, capable of accommodating yachts up to 180 meters in length. Onshore, guests can enjoy a yacht club designed by Stefano Ricci, a gym, a golf course, hotels, and fine dining restaurants.

"I participated in the Sindalah Yacht Club project because I believe Neom is a forward-thinking endeavor, much like Florence was the cradle of the Renaissance. It’s a magnificent leap into the future that resonates with our mission. As a Florentine designer, I aspire to convey a refined stylistic balance that seamlessly unites these two worlds," says Stefano Ricci.

The yacht club’s interiors feature coffered ceilings and are finished with white Carrara marble, complemented by accents in the bespoke Sindalah Blue—a shade created by Stefano Ricci to reflect the color of the island’s surrounding waters. The handcrafted textiles were produced by the historic Antico Setificio Fiorentino, a centuries-old textile manufacturer owned by Stefano Ricci.
