NEOM has now unveiled the latest element in its ongoing raft of civic and hospitality developments – Jaumur. Billed as an upscale, cosmopolitan community on the Gulf of Aqaba coastline, it will be home to more than 6,000 residents.
Jaumur will feature 500 marina apartments and nearly 700 luxury villas, all with waterfront access and private mooring. There will also be two distinctive destination hotels offering 350 rooms and suites.
Located at the heart of Jaumur, the marina serves as the focal point of the development. A 1.5km-long aerofoil will rise above the largest of the yacht berths, providing year-round protection for yacht owners, while the landscaped surroundings aim to provide a peaceful haven for the marina’s residents and guests, the statement noted.
The marina also has sufficient depth to welcome the world’s largest superyachts and there is a host of facilities for committed yachting enthusiasts. The marina promenade will also feature entertainment, leisure and cultural events, complemented by signature retail stores and dining options.
The development will also feature a deep-sea research centre dedicated to deep-sea exploration, with established in-house experts and ambitious pioneers set to champion marine discovery, knowledge and conservation.
