Vivienda Hotel Villas, Jeddah

A gated compound off Sari Road where 45 private villas spread across manicured gardens instead of stacking up into yet another tower, which already sets Vivienda apart in Jeddah. Each villa comes with a private pool and interiors finished in marble and gold, ranging from two bedrooms up to the four-bedroom Grandioso. The CYAN restaurant moves between poolside and indoor service, and there's a ladies-only spa. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels.
