Can’t wait until 2027’s “eclipse of the century” for your next celestial adventure? DarkSky International has given its seal of approval to two resorts in Saudi Arabia which offer guests the perfect vantage point to gaze into the night skies.
DarkSky, which champions efforts to tackle light pollution while promoting responsible outdoor lighting that is “beautiful, healthy and functional”, kickstarted its Approved Lodgings & Resorts certification programme in August.
Based on a set criteria, the certification process assessed factors, including whether a facility is located in a region with an exceptional dark sky resource, as well as understood sensitive nighttime resources and means to reduce the impact of light.
