This thesis aims to highlight the critical effect of a restorative entertainment place on
the lives of people. Aligned with the Kingdom's 2030 vision, this paper presents another idea
of treatments that will improve the personal satisfaction for residents and inhabitants to make
the realm a top living objective.
The idea for the project was collected by different types of methods such: literature
review, qualitative research methods, and precedent studies. First, the literature review is
focused on self-retreatment and this study is in health and wellness resort. Second, the
qualitative method was done by sharing an online survey. Last, an extensive analysis of
projects comparable to the health and wellness resort was done in the precedent studies. The
linked method is to have an optimized understanding of the society in Saudi Arabia. Exercise,
performing hobbies as well as other types of activities are more important for every person in
the world because the exercise and performing other activities can only make people fresh
and keep all of them effective. Furthermore, people need a place where they can perform
their activities. This project is mainly focusing on the design of the retreat center which will
offer people to come there and effectively perform their routines. The research study is

Limitations
There are two main obstacles. First, the information regarding the health and wellness
resort was too hard to reach from experts in Saudi Arabia due to the lack of opportunity and

CHAPTER ONE: SYNOPSIS OF FINAL STUDIO
Project Statement
Designing a retreat center is a place that can take you from your everyday routines,
each person has the opportunity to practice his\her work, exercise, hobbies and different type
of activities but in the way and mood they prefer. The retreat center will be located in Jeddah,
Saudi Arabia specific in Obhur area, the location will be aligned with 2030 vision because the
most important project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is located in the same area of the
retreat center which is Jeddah tower and it’s considered as the highest tower in the world.
There is several types of activities can be in the retreat center such as: Yoga/Meditation,
Cooking Classes, work place area, Music class’s and Physical activities: such as physical
therapy, gym and swimming pool.
Research Questions
How retreat resorts will raise the country economy?
How does the retreat resort impact the tourism in Jeddah and contribute to the tourism sector
of the kingdom in line with vision 2030?
Research Objectives
Providing the need of the retreat resort in Saudi Arabia for people’s health and to find a
place that they can relax, in order to develop domestic and foreign tourism in Jeddah and
around the Kingdom.
Retreat resort is a will be a new fetcher in Saudi Arabia that all people recommended because
of their need to it.
13
Rationale
To create a vibrant society in which all citizens can fulfill their dreams, hopes and
ambitions to succeed in a thriving economy. By creating places that all people from all
around the world can visit. Therefore, healthcare centers are started to establish all around the
Kingdom.
Target Audience

Site Analysis

Site Selection:
Silver Sand is considered as one of the most luxurious beaches in Jeddah due to many
reasons. First, it is located in a calm area and it’s a private beach however, there is no random
access to the beach and that will enhance the success of the retreat center. Second, it's
considered the cleanest sandy beach in Jeddah. Third, the space may help the retreat center to
add hospitality in the same place. As a vision of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 2030 the
retreat center will consider as the first health resort in Saudi Arabia and this will enhance
tourism to refresh their souls in a healthy way also will reduce the number of citizens to
travel to the foreign countries for relaxing and refreshing.

CHAPTER TWO: LITERATURE REVIEW
The literature review supports the project with several majors and minders studies, by
explain the specialized in interior design of my project such as: lighting, materials and some
major studies.
Major Study: Interior Design Specialized in Healthcare and Resorts
Lighting:
Skylights can totally change the vibe of a room. They don't simply allow in more
normal light; they likewise make a significantly more open sentiment of room. By adding
glass to a low roof, you can cause it to feel higher, seeing the sky through a high roof gives it
the fantasy of being essential for an outside space. A window over your bed permits you to
look at the stars or passing mists, and one over a lounge area could make them eat underneath
the trees. "Several examples including the lighting design in an indoor pool, are shown to
demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed method.” According to (Dobashi, Y., Kaneda,
K.1994, August).
Space Planning:
Considers the advantages of designating the right space to every one of a hotel′s
different capacity. Stresses the significance of suitable separation between, and admittance to,
inter‐related benefits; and dodging blockage while working relaxation and meeting offices.
Talks about vehicle leaving and records regular plan flaws in lodging arranging. (Lawson, F.
R. 1995).
18
Colors:
Shading doesn't exist, all things considered. It is only the impact of electromagnetic
waves enrolled by our cerebrums and eyes. However, it assumes a significant job and we
basically can't envision existence without it. Shading makes emotions and states of mind and
it is attributable to these highlights that originators and property holders need to use it
carefully so as to make a fitting air in a given space. (Kim, D., Hyun, H., & Park, J.2020).
Materials:
Regular materials are consistently a decent decision. They're solid, naturally
benevolent, improve the microclimate of indoor spaces, and look sharp paying little mind to
inside plan and evolving styles. (Brown, R., & Farrelly, L.2012).
Minor Study: Retreat Center and Tourism
Retreat Centre:
The retreats resorts are uncommon and important scene for people, couples, families
and gatherings of companions to look for solid shelter from the relentless ways of life so
common in contemporary society. At these unwinding and enabling retreats, you can sustain
and renew bodies, brains and minds to achieve or recapture elevated levels of individual
wellbeing. Indeed, even individuals who use comprehensive wellbeing works on, grasping
unadulterated, regular or natural weight control plans and the utilization of natural prepping
and home upkeep items are presented to the microbes, germs, poisons and contamination that
attack a large portion of our day-by-day overall conditions. Hence, everybody can increase
much from the bunch advantages of keeping up an unadulterated, positive perspective and
lolling in the wonderful, tranquil encompasses of silver sands beach and the beautiful view of
the beach. (Cohen, J. N., Jensen, D 2017).
19
Tourism Development:
Sea shore resorts develop from normal settings through the extension of convenience
and other recreational capacities. With more noteworthy size they lose their regular qualities
and become progressively urbanized. The progress from normal to metropolitan retreat is
regularly quick, with some sea shore resorts being changed into urban areas in under twenty
years. The huge quantities of worldwide and homegrown sightseers that continuous sea shore
resorts give monetary chances to governments, organizations and those looking for work.
Simultaneously, the elements of quick urbanization are much of the time joined by significant
changes in social, natural and political settings. That the advancement of contemporary sea
shore resorts presents both positive and negative impacts is known: nonetheless, the cycles of
development and synergism of its composite components have been less clear. (Smith, R.
A.1991).
Conclusion:
In conclusion the literature review helps us to analyze major and minor studies for my
project to develop the idea of the retreat resort and enhance the project to implement the
major studies smoothly and clearly. I believe literature review is an important process to get
the final resolute with perfect and complete ideas.

CHAPTER THREE: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The research methodology is discussed in the third chapter of the thesis. It is the way
toward gathering information and data related to the selected topic of the thesis from the
community. The mixed method is utilized in this thesis to gather the required information. It
is a kind of method that joins both quantitative method and qualitative method. The
quantitative method centers around numbers and amount which is finished by directing an
overview, while the qualitative method centers around quality and exactness, which includes
interviews with masters and generalists. Since Arabic as it is the community mother
language, the two methods' inquiries were made an interpretation of into Arabic to arrive at
the most extreme number of people in the community.
Qualitative:
The chosen method for the research is qualitative method. This method is commonly
utilized for getting views and perceptions. It offers visions to various issues and aides in
creating ideas or speculations for likely quantitative exploration. To gain an entire
understanding of the main demands for a retreat resort, a survey was conducted from the
22nd of October to the 26th of October. The responses were conducted via WhatsApp and
Twitter. The survey was conducted with one hundred and twelve participants. Qualitative
research method is explicitly intended to reveal an intended target audience’s behavior its
association with a specific topic or issue. It utilizes top to bottom examination of small group
of individuals for building hypotheses. The outcome of qualitative method are not prescient,
but rather descriptive.
