Suha

Named after the faint star our grandparents used to test their eyesight. If you can see it from the roof, you are seeing the sky as they did.

i The villa

A house around a courtyard, a roof around the sky.

Suha is our largest villa, built in the shape of the region’s old houses: rooms wrapped around an inner courtyard that shelters them from wind and sun, with a ten-metre pool at its centre shaded by two palms.

But its heart is upstairs. An earth staircase climbs to a roof with a low majlis, a fire pit and an eight-inch telescope that our resident astronomer sets up with you on the first night, and then leaves in your hands.

The roof also has mattresses made up for sleeping on clear nights. We recommend at least one: you fall asleep under the Milky Way and wake to first light on the cliffs.

Inside Suha

The rooftop at blue hour with a brass telescope, floor cushions and a small fire
The roof at blue hour, before the stars come out.
The inner courtyard at blue hour, its pool lit from within and three bedroom doors open onto it
Three bedrooms around one courtyard, the pool at its heart.
The Milky Way arching over sandstone towers, with a telescope on a rock plateau
What the roof sees on a moonless night.
Arabic coffee poured from a brass dallah into a small cup beside dates
The eleven o’clock coffee, with cardamom.

The plan

Two floors, one way up.

On the ground floor, three bedrooms and a living room wrap around the courtyard. On the roof: the majlis, the fire, the telescope and a place to sleep under the sky.
