Al Nakhla Residential Resort is the premier western-style compound in Riyadh, located near Exit 8 and 15 minutes from King Khalid International Airport. Featuring 1,074 luxury apartments and villas, 23 swimming pools, a dedicated dog park, and an on-site Danube Supermarket, it is the top choice for expats seeking security, community, and proximity to KAFD and international schools.

As Riyadh transforms under Vision 2030, the demand for high-quality housing has never been higher. For the modern expat, the choice between a standalone villa and a gated community like Al Nakhla Residential Resort often comes down to one thing: a seamless lifestyle. While private villas offer space, Al Nakhla provides a managed ecosystem. From 24/7 state-of-the-art security to on-site maintenance and a concierge that understands the needs of international professionals, we remove the “logistics” so you can focus on the “living.”

Here is what makes Al Nakhla a leader in the Riyadh residential market:

  • Strategic Location: Situated off the Eastern Ring Road (Exit 8), we are just 10 minutes from The Business Gate, SABIC Headquarters, and the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD).
  • Wellness & Leisure: Residents enjoy access to 23 swimming pools, a semi-Olympic pool, a CrossFit gym, a bowling alley, and a Moroccan Hammam.
  • Unrivaled Convenience: Direct pedestrian access to Riyadh’s largest Danube Supermarket and the Al Nakhla Plaza, featuring retail boutiques and gourmet cafes.
  • Pet-Friendly Living: As one of the few residential resorts in Saudi Arabia with a dedicated dog park, we are the top choice for pet owners.
For families, proximity to education is vital. Al Nakhla is home to the Kids Home Kindergarten and offers a dedicated school bus service to Riyadh’s leading international schools, ensuring your morning commute is stress-free.
