Kerten Hospitality signs Cloud 7 resort in Dammam, Saudi Arabia

Kerten Hospitality is expanding its footprint across Saudi Arabia with the signing of Cloud 7 Al Murjan Island Resort – Dammam, a new waterfront property in the kingdom’s eastern province. 

Developed in partnership with Saudi-based Koushan Real Estate Development, the resort will feature 74 overwater chalets, introducing a new accommodation concept to Dammam. Among its key highlights will be Nyssa Beach, a ladies-only beach club offering wellness and fitness facilities, salon services and curated workspaces. The resort’s design will be led by Saudi architect Dr Zuhair Hamed Fayez.

The Dammam resort adds to Kerten Hospitality’s growing Saudi portfolio, which spans a mix of operational and upcoming properties across Riyadh, Jeddah, Taif, Abha, Yanbu, AlUla and Al Ahsa.

Many of these developments are part of The Collective by Kerten Hospitality, a collaborative platform launched with the Saudi Ministry of Tourism to unite the brand’s hotels and residences under a single identity. The Collective, valued at more than SAR1.5 billion (AED1.47 billion), aims to promote sustainable tourism, develop lifestyle hospitality and support local communities in line with the kingdom’s Vision 2030.
