Fabulous Marina For Superyachts Surrounded By A Luxurious Community Set To Be Built In Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is back to blowing our minds with another mind-boggling and ambitious project. Announced by Neom, the latest creation is a brand new marina for superyachts, a massive space with a sophisticated and luxurious community placed around it. Named Jaumur, this project will be focusing on the marina, enabling billionaires to park their expensive superyachts underneath an impressive “aerofoil” shelter. The shelter resembles an arrow pointed towards the desert from above, offering protection from the sun throughout the year. The Jaumur marina will be able to hold 300 superyachts measuring 492 feet in length. A few yachts may not be able to fit, but most of the big ones should be able to.

Designer: Liam Roberts and Terry Mcquillan

“The aerofoil incorporates a gravity-defying cantilever to form a stunning entrance to the marina, welcoming the world’s largest superyachts,” stated Neom’s press release. “The sculptural structure is a landmark that serves as the perfect base for all the marina attractions, for committed yachting enthusiasts and adventurers seeking personalized experiences. The marina promenade will be a place alive with entertainment, leisure, and cultural experiences, hosting year-round arts events and performance programs, complemented by signature retail stores and world-class dining options.”

Although the main attraction is the marina, Jaumur will also serve as a home for around 6000 residents. It will accommodate around 500 apartments, and 700 luxury villas amped with waterfront access, and a private mooring for small boats and yachts. The space will be interspersed with green in multiple spots, providing a natural respite from the concrete architecture. An international boarding school for the children of the rich and fabulous will also be included, as well as two luxury hotels with 350 rooms and suites. A deep-sea research center facilitating expeditions to conduct studies on the coastline will also be integrated into the project.

Jaumur will be constructed in Saudi’s Gulf of Aqaba region, where most of Neom’s development is situated. The fabulous marina will be designed by the architects Liam Roberts and Terry Mcquillan.
