Neom has invited firms to bid by 15 August for the contract to build the Four Seasons Resort on Sindalah Island. UAE-based Alec and Beijing Emirates International Construction are two of the firms that have been invited to bid for the deal. The project involves the construction of a resort with 225 guest rooms and suites, 52 villas with one to four bedrooms, presidential and royal villas, and other associated facilities. The resort's architecture is being led by Italy’s Luca Dini Design & Architecture. Barcelona-headquartered Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura is designing the interiors for guest rooms and the public areas design is being done by UAE-based LW Design. Sindalah project Extending over an area of about 840,000 square metres, Sindalah is situated about 5 kilometres from the mainland in the Red Sea. The island was designed as an ultra-luxury destination and will be the first of a group of islands to be developed at Neom, each with its own purpose and design. It will have three hotels developed under two brands, Marriott and Four Seasons, with a total of 413 keys, 88 villas, and 333 serviced apartments. Sindalah will also feature an 86-berth marina for yachts up to 50 metres and 75 offshore buoys for superyachts up to 180 metres. Potential awards In June, Neom invited contractors to bid for the main works package to deliver clusters 3-6 of the island. The assets have been split across two mandatory packages. Package one includes the ultra-luxury and upper-upscale resorts, the beach and sports clubs, and the golf clubhouse, while the second package comprises Luxury Resort South. Assets in package one have a combined gross floor area (GFA) of about 37,605 sq m, while the second package’s GFA is 48,968 sq m. The contract scope includes procurement, construction, testing, and commissioning, with completion scheduled for December 2023 for package one's assets and November 2024 for package two's assets.  Neom had selected Beijing Emirates to construct a clubhouse, an ultra-luxury resort, and an upper-upscale resort on Sindalah Island.
