A Thai Summer Evening at HARNN Heritage Spa

A night of elegance, culture, and sensory escape at InterContinental Durrat Al Riyadh

On a warm Tuesday evening, the InterContinental Durrat Al Riyadh transformed into a sanctuary of scent, sound, and cultural brilliance as HARNN Heritage Spa welcomed over 300 distinguished guests to its Summer Season Celebration. With refined energy and immersive detail, the event marked both the beginning of summer and HARNN’s growing presence within Riyadh’s luxury wellness landscape.

Held on May 6, 2025, the celebration was an evocative blend of Thai heritage and contemporary expression, curated to reflect HARNN’s holistic approach to wellness. The evening unfolded like one of the spa’s signature treatments: layered, immersive, and deeply restorative—yet elevated with performance, couture, and cross-cultural prestige.

Culture, Wellness, and Royal Ties

The event opened with a sophisticated soundtrack of live Thai-inspired electronic music, followed by a welcome from Mr. Marc, General Manager of InterContinental Durrat Al Riyadh Resort & Spa. The Royal Thai Ambassador, H.E. Darm Beentham, delivered an address underscoring the blossoming cultural and diplomatic relationship between Thailand and Saudi Arabia, setting the tone for an evening that would celebrate unity through artistry.

A Performance of Beauty

Guests were treated to a rich sequence of traditional Thai performances including the Bantherng Dance, the graceful Ging Gala Show, and the expressive Seing Hanglang. The cultural program crescendoed with two dramatic fashion showcases—melding Eastern silhouettes with contemporary refinement, echoing the aesthetic harmony for which both HARNN and Riyadh are increasingly known.

As the evening progressed, guests mingled under the stars with curated scents, signature refreshments, and a live DJ set. It was, in every sense, a multisensory celebration—equal parts ceremony and serenity.

The Collaborators Behind the Elegance

The event was made possible through an impressive synergy of regional and international partners. Event production and service design were led by Black & Yellow, The Beautiful Garden, and TAIT, while support from the Thai Embassy, Emirates NBD, Sitaf, and Solitaire Mall added further prestige and community depth. The result was a seamless experience that merged luxury hospitality with cultural diplomacy.

HARNN: A New Chapter in Riyadh Wellness

More than just a seasonal occasion, the Summer Celebration represented a deeper message: wellness is cultural, and culture is healing. HARNN Heritage Spa, rooted in the traditions of Thai botanical science and aromatherapy, is carving out a distinct space in Riyadh—offering a destination where traditional wisdom meets five-star hospitality.

As Riyadh continues its transformation into a global capital of art, beauty, and refinement, HARNN’s presence feels particularly meaningful. It's not just a spa. It’s a space for connection—between cultures, senses, and self.
