The Chedi Residences Wadi Safar: Ultra-Luxury Branded Villas Debut in Diriyah

Chedi Hospitality has officially expanded its branded residences portfolio in Saudi Arabia with the launch of The Chedi Residences Wadi Safar. Developed in partnership with Diriyah Company, the project introduces 20 ultra-luxury private villas within the prestigious Wadi Safar masterplan in Diriyah.

This landmark debut marks Chedi’s first residential offering in the Kingdom and strengthens Saudi Arabia’s growing position in the global luxury real estate market.

Prime Location in Wadi Safar, Diriyah

Situated within the scenic cliffs of Wadi Safar, the residences enjoy panoramic views across the Greg Norman-designed Signature Golf Course. The development lies just 15 minutes from central Riyadh and approximately 25 minutes from King Khalid International Airport, offering both exclusivity and convenience.

Diriyah, widely regarded as the birthplace of the First Saudi State, is being transformed into a world-class cultural, hospitality, and lifestyle destination under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 strategy.

Architectural Excellence by Bjarke Ingels Group

The villas are designed by globally renowned firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG). The architectural concept blends contemporary elegance with traditional Najdi design elements, creating a refined yet culturally grounded aesthetic.

Inward-facing courtyards, textured façades, and natural materials enhance privacy while maintaining harmony with the desert landscape. Each villa is carefully positioned to maximise light, views, and seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Exclusive Collection of 20 Branded Villas

The Chedi Residences Wadi Safar comprises a limited collection of 20 private villas, including four- and five-bedroom configurations. A select number of premium five-bedroom residences offer enhanced scale and exclusivity.

Each villa is designed to deliver understated luxury, incorporating spacious layouts, refined finishes, and bespoke detailing aligned with the Chedi brand’s timeless design philosophy.

The limited inventory ensures long-term investment value and a rare ownership opportunity within one of Saudi Arabia’s most prestigious residential districts.

Five-Star Hospitality and Lifestyle Benefits

Homeowners will benefit from seamless access to amenities at the adjacent 85-key Chedi hotel. These include fine dining restaurants, wellness facilities, fitness studios, curated retail outlets, and serene social spaces.

An exclusive residents’ club will feature a private lounge, business facilities, billiards room, and event areas. Residents will also enjoy priority access to Wadi Safar’s premium offerings, including the Royal Equestrian and Polo Club.

This integration of hotel services with private ownership elevates the residential experience to a fully serviced, resort-style lifestyle.

Strengthening Diriyah’s Luxury Residential Portfolio

The launch of The Chedi Residences Wadi Safar adds to Diriyah’s expanding portfolio of internationally branded residences. The district is emerging as one of the Middle East’s most sought-after addresses, combining heritage conservation with modern urban development.

Diriyah’s UNESCO-listed At-Turaif district anchors its cultural identity, reinforcing the project’s commitment to preserving Najdi architectural heritage while delivering contemporary living standards.

Alignment with Vision 2030

The development aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 objectives, supporting economic diversification through high-end tourism, hospitality, and real estate investment.

By introducing the globally recognised Chedi brand into Diriyah, the project enhances the Kingdom’s appeal to international investors and lifestyle buyers seeking exclusivity, cultural authenticity, and long-term value.
