A new park named 'Vatanparvar' has started operating in the city of Samarkand, Uzbekistan, quickly gaining status as one of the city's most significant attractions. The central element of this park is a Ferris wheel positioned as the tallest in Central Asia.
This attraction offers the opportunity to view Samarkand, both its historical and modern sites, from a great height. The total cost of the project amounted to approximately 10 million dollars. The park covers an area of 7 hectares, and its infrastructure is designed to accommodate over a thousand guests simultaneously.
In addition to the rides, various areas for family leisure, walks, and general recreation have been developed within 'Vatanparvar'. The opening of the park has led to the creation of about 150 new jobs. The park is intended to become a sought-after leisure center and an additional attractive point on Samarkand's tourist maps.
There was also previous information about plans to create new public parks in nine districts of the capital. These projects will collectively cover an area of 139.6 hectares and will be implemented in stages, receiving special protected status to prevent further development.
The Red Fort will be closed to the general public from July 15 to August 15.
The Hyatt Hotels Corporation has announced the opening of Beldersoy Resort & SPA, which is the first Destination by Hyatt resort in Uzbekistan. This property is also the company's first premium mountain resort in the country.
The resort is located in the Beldersoy Mountains, in the Chimgan-Bostanlyk region. Due to its proximity to ski slopes, cable cars, as well as hiking and cycling trails, it functions as a year-round destination. Nearby are Lake Charvak, the village of Chimgan, and Tashkent.
Beldersoy Resort & SPA features 109 guest rooms and 36 standalone villas with mountain views. The interior is designed in a modern style, utilizing natural color palettes and incorporating handcrafted items from local artisans inspired by Uzbekistan's cultural heritage.
Michelle Morau, Managing Director of Hyatt EAME North, noted that the resort combines modern design, high standards of service, and respect for local culture. He emphasized that this is the first Destination by Hyatt property in the region to offer wellness programs based on the natural environment and a holistic approach to well-being.
Khaled Shaker, General Manager of Beldersoy Resort & SPA, stressed that preserving the natural landscape, green areas, and environmental sustainability was given special importance during the complex's creation. He added that the resort incorporates engineering solutions aimed at reducing energy consumption, efficiently using water resources, and minimizing environmental impact.
One of the key features of the resort is the wellness center, inspired by thalassotherapy. Guests can use both indoor and outdoor pools, including a seawater and mineral salt pool, a high-magnesium relaxation pool, and an infinity pool overlooking the horizon. Furthermore, the resort offers spa services, a fitness center, and organized outdoor recreational programs.
The gastronomic area includes two restaurants and a lobby lounge. The Nafis restaurant serves seasonal dishes throughout the day, while Fire & Ice specializes in meat dishes and signature culinary creations. Two conference halls and the Tien Shan ballroom are available for conferences, corporate meetings, weddings, and other events.
The house located in Ensenada, described as a large terrace suspended over the landscape, has a total area of 155 m².
The project was submitted by the design team and is scheduled to be completed in 2025.
