Spread across three acres dotted with date palms, Vivienda Turki Al Awal is an upscale gated hideaway with more than two dozen Spanish-style villas. A number of the villa retreats feature private pools in the backyard as well as whirlpool tubs in the bathroom, while all the villas come with private terraces and a butler on call. Stroll along paved pathways to the poolside Italian restaurant to indulge and later work off in the well-equipped gym.
The region is renowned for its age-old ritual of welcoming guests, and so you are greeted at check-in with cardamom-infused Arabic coffee and sweet Saudi dates. The multilingual front-desk staff can arrange all aspects of your stay in the kingdom’s capital, from booking taxis and exchanging foreign currency to organizing secretarial services if you are staying on business.
Ranging from two to three bedrooms, Vivienda Turki Al Awal’s 25 villas blend Spanish-style exteriors — think pale terracotta walls and white arches — with contemporary interiors. Move seamlessly through a flowing layout on cool cream tiles in the open-plan living spaces decorated in tans, coppers, and olive greens. Soak in the bathtub with lemon-and-lavender scented Acqua di Parma products, and retreat to your cozy bedroom with plumped-up pillows and soft white bedding. For even more room to relax, book one of the Palacio villas, with three bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, and your very own pool in the backyard.
Make unlimited complimentary national phone calls from your villa, prepare meals in the sizable kitchen, and order burgers and Arabic meze from the room-service menu. There is also daily housekeeping and 24-hour butler service.
With a celebrated on-site restaurant and round-the-clock room service, dining at Vivienda Turki Al Awal is both convenient and delicious. Head to La Mesa for pancakes at breakfast and pasta for dinner, or opt for international and Arabic favorites in the comfort of your own villa, whether it’s an early breakfast of fruit and muesli or a late-night snack of hummus and olives.
Relax around the swimming pool at the heart of the resort or splash around your private pool, or keep fit on one of the gym’s treadmills or elliptical trainers. On balmy evenings, stroll the grounds or head to the nearby Diplomatic Quarter, offering landscaped gardens, parks with playgrounds, and a cosmopolitan vibe.
In downtown, shop alongside local families at Panorama Mall or Centria Mall, to browse hip fashion boutiques and trendy cafés. If traveling with kids, visit Riyadh Zoo to see the menagerie of exotic creatures and wander King Abdullah Park, one of the city’s most popular green spaces. At sunset, stop by the Kingdom Centre for truly spectacular views at Sky Bridge on the 99th floor.
Set in gated grounds, Vivienda Turki Al Awal is minutes from the Olaya District, the commercial heart of Riyadh. The area is home to landmark skyscrapers such as the Kingdom Tower and Al Faisaliah Tower, as well as Tahlia Street, a popular café corridor also known as Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz Street. The Diplomatic Quarter is 10 minutes by vehicle, while King Abdullah Park is a 15-minute drive away.

This has been my 2nd stay at Vivienda Hotel Villas in Riyadh. Whilst my first stay in August 2015 was at the group's first hotel at Awad Al Turki Street, this time I chose to stay in one of the group's brand new properties at Vivienda Residence. At both stays, I have been overwhelmed - overwhelmed by the extremely friendly and personalised service by the team (customised breakfast delivered to the room/villa, included in the price) as well as this amazing, mediterranean sense of space, luxury and feeling of "home" - in the centre of Riyadh! My trips to Riyadh have always been on business, staying for two and three nights and Vivienda has been perfect (great wifi, enough space to work, superb locations). Another motivating factor and sense of luxury were the kind of high profile cars parked in front of the other villas as well as the generous aqua di parma amenities in all bathrooms. I will definitely be back, both on short business stays or longer project assignments.

A good equipped villa with spacious rooms. The staff are great. The security level is high. Unfortunatly, the exit is dangerous for cars. There should be more signs to slow down the speed. I would stay again in the same villa. There is no supermarket, resturants or other shopping stores nearby. U should have your own car to get to other places.

I have stayed in Riyadh for more than one month with my wife and our baby. Vivienda Hotel Villas was an excellent place serving all our needs. 1) It offers a spacious villa with 2 bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen and 3 bathrooms for the price of a standard room in a hotel of the same standard. (There are also bigger villas up to your choice). At the same time, you have all kinds of services of a 5-star hotel. All the villas are decorated up to a high standard. 2) It is located in a quieter neighbourhood, but just few quarters from the central King Fahd Road and close to a big shopping mall. 3) Villas are inside a compound-like area, which provides a nice place to walk around or sit outside. For Western women it might be important that they can walk without abaya in open air on the grounds of the hotel. 4) Management is very friendly and takes care of individual needs of the guests. During our stay, the management helped us to find a car to rent, solved problems with our internet connection and even helped with learning Arabic! 5) It is also a good place to meet local people as there are many Saudi people who attend the hotel restaurant. It is an all-round suberb place and esepecially very helpful for foreigners who want to feel themselves comfortable in Arab culture.
