<h2>A Blueprint for Tomorrow: Setting Global Standards in Sustainable Development</h2>
Red Sea Global is raising the bar in sustainable tourism by integrating luxury with a unique approach to regenerative development and transformative travel, a strategy that is grounded in preserving the most valuable asset on the developer’s balance sheet – nature and the environment. A cornerstone of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, the Red Sea Global project will see the completion of 50 resorts and approximately 1,200 residential units across 22 islands and six inland sites. The Red Sea project is built on the Kingdom’s natural landscape and cultural heritage creating spaces that resonate with the growing demand for sustainable tourism and reduce negative environmental impact. Cutting-edge technology and innovation are integrated into every facet of the development with a holistic approach embedded in every element, from design to dining and guest experiences. To deliver on this ambitious plan, Red Sea Global partnered with global wellness brands like Clinique,&nbsp; La Prairie, and Six Senses and luxury hospitality names such as Four Seasons and St Regis, all of which combine to offer guests experiences that go beyond traditional tourism.
&nbsp;
<h2>How Innovation is Shaping a Greener Future for Luxury Tourism</h2>
The shift in travel innovations is driven by the need to reduce carbon emissions and prioritise eco-friendly solutions. Innovation and sustainability will be key factors that will contribute largely to making luxury tourism greener in the future. Applying blockchain, Artificial intelligence (AI), and virtual reality (VR) technologies, Red Sea Global can accommodate the tendencies of eco-aware travellers and lead to a more personalised and stress-free travel experience.
With five luxury resorts fully operational at The Red Sea, the region is well-positioned as a destination of choice for modern, responsible travellers who support green tourism.&nbsp;
The hotels operated by Red Sea Global are already embracing this principle, promoting wellness and a greener future backed by innovation and sustainability.
&nbsp;
<h2>Red Sea Resorts Protecting Nature’s Masterpiece</h2>
Six Senses Southern Dunes was the first property to open for guests at The Red Sea in 2023.
Inspired by the ancient heritage of the Nabataean people, and set against the immense backdrop of desert plains and Hijaz Mountains, Six Senses Southern Dunes puts sustainability and wellness to the forefront of the resort. The property is set to be the first LEED Platinum-certified hotel in Saudi Arabia, with 100% of the resort’s power generated through solar energy. The hotel used locally sourced materials for construction and was designed by British architectural firm Foster + Partners, renowned for their eco credentials.&nbsp;
Similarly, Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve is an unspoiled sanctuary surrounded by pristine coral, designed in synergy with the natural environment. The resort is 100 per cent solar-powered its design realised by the same firm – Foster + Partners – with shell-inspired architecture and interiors crafted from natural materials.&nbsp;
Desert Rock is Saudi Arabia’s hotel carved into a mountain – literally – and the fifth property to open at The Red Sea. The resort opened in December 2024, covering 30,000 square metres of pristine land and ancient rocky outcrops. Desert Rock reflects Red Sea Global’s commitment to sustainability and luxury tourism where every design detail honours the surrounding landscape while preserving and enhancing its natural habitats.

Exploring Saudi Arabia’s Natural Wonders Through Red Sea Global Projects

Discover Saudi Arabia's natural wonders with Red Sea Global's eco-luxury resorts, blending adventure and sustainability.

Residing on the west coast of Saudi Arabia, there’s more to The Red Sea than meets the eye.

A world of raw beauty, mystery, and natural wonder, beyond its crystalline waters and sweeping deserts, the Red Sea reveals an extraordinary landscape, where exploration beckons, adventure awaits, and marine life flourishes within the world’s fourth-largest barrier reef system.
&nbsp;
Spanning 28,000 square kilometres of paradisiacal terrain, the Red Sea is home to an archipelago of over 90 untouched islands, desert dunes, mountain canyons, resplendent beaches, and an exclusive collection of iconic resorts –&nbsp; five of which are already welcoming guests. A firm priority on Saudi’s luxury tourism agenda and Vision 2030, the Red Sea is in the midst of a transformative journey, on course to become a pioneering luxury and regenerative tourism destination, responsibly developed by Red Sea Global.&nbsp; With a view to preserving the most valuable assets, nature, and environment, the developer is leading the way, balancing luxury tourism with ecological responsibility to deliver the largest tourism destination in the world powered 100 per cent by renewable energy.

&nbsp;
<h2>Five Luxury Resorts Celebrating Red Sea’s Natural Wonders</h2>
To realise their vision for The Red Sea, the developer is actively working to protect and enhance key habitats across 22 islands and six inland sites that serve as home to existing and upcoming resorts. From scaling rugged peaks to gliding across turquoise waters and snorkelling between majestic coral reefs, Red Sea resorts pay homage to the spectacular natural setting and rich cultural heritage of the region, effortlessly weaving them into the design and guest experiences. Located on pristine private islands, the first resort to open was Six Senses Southern Dunes, followed by The St. Regis Red Sea Resort, Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Desert Rock, and Shebara – owned and entirely operated by Red Sea Global.
As a leading eco-luxury destination, Red Sea resorts offer the most glorious getaways in the region, with endless attractions in store, both off the coast as well as inland and beneath the sea’s surface.
&nbsp;
<h2>Red Sea Coral Reefs</h2>
The Red Sea has one of the most resilient and biodiverse coral reef systems on the planet, home to approximately 210 species of hard corals and 120 species of soft corals, brimming with marine life. A spectacle awaits divers and snorkellers who wish to witness these creatures in their natural habitat – from dazzling schools of snapper and grouper to elusive eels weaving through the coral formations. The reefs serve as a sanctuary to endangered species such as the Halavi Guitarfish and the Hawksbill Sea Turtle.
&nbsp;
<h2>Blue Holes: The Red Sea’s Mysterious Underwater Caves</h2>
These deep circular sinkholes that appear as striking azure abysses against the surrounding turquoise waters are possibly one of the most fascinating natural wonders of the Red Sea.
These submerged caverns, sculpted over thousands of years, have long captivated divers, scientists, and adventure seekers eager to explore these enigmatic formations. Beyond their
visual beauty, blue holes serve as vital refuge for marine biodiversity thriving in its depths, sheltering species from the harsher conditions of the open ocean.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>Mangrove Rivers: The Lifeblood of the Red Sea</h2>
Meandering through the islands of the Red Sea, the mangroves are a vital part of the ecosystem, acting as natural nurseries for marine species and providing shelter for a variety of birds. These ancient waterways, shaped over centuries, are important nesting, feeding, and roosting sites for species such as the Goliath heron, pink-backed pelican, reef heron, and black kite.
&nbsp;
<h2>Exploring the Inland Red Sea</h2>
Beyond the coastline, the Red Sea’s towering red granite mountains, sculpted by time, rise dramatically from rolling dunes, offering an entirely different kind of natural spectacle. Whether hiking, biking, climbing rugged peaks, or sandboarding down golden dunes, guests can appreciate the beauty and power of the landscape in deeply personal and meaningful ways. The inland’s beautiful and dramatic topography, where dunes meet mountains, is rich in ancient archaeological sites depicting Nabataean and other pre-Islamic remains, as well as Islamic-era ports and castles.&nbsp;
Red Sea Global’s large-scale conservation and development project preserves the islands’ natural beauty and promotes sustainable tourism, ensuring that the Red Sea continues to serve as a geographical marvel and historical and ecological treasure for many generations to come.

5 Best Restaurants in The Red Sea

Discover the 5 best restaurants in The Red Sea, blending Saudi tradition with world-class dining experiences.

The Red Sea is an experience that extends far beyond its luminous waters and sun-soaked sands. Led by Red Sea Global, a world-class culinary scene is emerging here: one where heritage meets innovation and Saudi cuisine is showcased on the global stage. From fire-grilled feasts at Desert Rock to communal seafood dining at Tabrah, these five standout restaurants capture the Red Sea’s growing identity as a luxury travel destination, rivalling the likes of the Maldives and Seychelles.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;
<h2>Nyra</h2>
Nyra is nestled in the heart of Desert Rock, a spectacular newly-opened resort in the rocky Hejaz mountains. Designed by Oppenheimer Architecture in partnership with Red Sea Global, this incredible, cave-like resort is a masterpiece of Nabatean-inspired architecture, and its dining options are just as triumphant. Nyra embraces wood-fire cooking with a contemporary twist, using protein-aging techniques to create extraordinarily tender meat and seafood. This Red Sea restaurant is led by chef Osman Sezener, a Michelin-starred restaurateur and pioneer of the farm-to-table movement.&nbsp;
After a hearty meal at Nyra, Desert Rock’s dazzling rooftop terrace awaits on the mountain top. Aptly named The Observatory, this late-night lounge is the perfect after-dinner spot, with gourmet pastries, shisha, and craft mocktails, all enjoyed under the blanket of stars.
&nbsp;
<h2>Al Sarab&nbsp;</h2>
Six Senses Southern Dunes was one of the first five-star resorts to open its doors in The Red Sea archipelago. Its on-site restaurant, Al Sarab, serves an exceptional selection of traditional Saudi Arabian dishes in a fine-dining setting. The menu ranges from Arabic tapas to wholesome local dishes such as Saleeg, a milk-based rice and meat dish native to the Hejaz region. The outdoor dining area of Al Sarab is particularly lovely, with desert orange sunsets blazing beautifully across the rugged landscape.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>Gishiki 45</h2>
For a small slice of Japan in The Red Sea, there is Gishiki 45. Located in The St. Regis Red Sea Resort, this intimate beachfront restaurant serves a contemporary Japanese menu with locally-sourced seafood and sushi. The art of culinary showmanship is brought to life here, with a traditional tea ceremony and live cooking shows. After a meal in Gishiki 45, guests may head over to the St. Regis Bar for inventive mocktails, elevated light bites, and live music.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>Sita</h2>
Meaning “six” in Arabic, Sita brings a world of flavours to The Red Sea with its six distinct pavilions, each inspired by the region’s historic bazaars. Sita’s French patisserie invites morning indulgence with rich coffee and buttery, flakey pastries, while the Levantine restaurant entices with the warm aroma of freshly baked bread from its centrepiece clay oven. Beyond dining, epicureans will delight in exploring Sita’s spice library or taking part in a traditional bread-making class. This Red Sea restaurant is located in Nujuma, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve, on the beautiful Ummahat Island.
&nbsp;
<h2>Tabrah</h2>
Also located in Nujuma, Tabrah is a seafood restaurant that pays homage to Saudi Arabia’s rich fishing traditions. The Kingdom’s western coast is among the most biodiverse in the world, with bountiful waters that have sustained communities for centuries—from the Nabataeans and early Arab tribes to the merchants of the Ottoman era. Today, the menu at Tabrah thoughtfully celebrates the culinary history of the Red Sea region with an abundance of locally-caught seafood served in a communal setting.

&nbsp;

As the wellness industry continues to change and grow with the times and expectations of consumers, it employs and operates on innovative trends, with new breakthroughs made, with each one having its own unique selling proposition. While many people may associate wellness resorts with spas in Maldives or Swiss health retreats, Saudi Arabia’s west coast is now positioned as a new premier wellness destination fronted by The Red Sea and Amaala, treating wellness as a key consideration and an integral part of the guest experience. From holistic health programmes to mindful nutrition spaces, these destinations foster an environment anchored in well-being. Red Sea has been pegged as the wellness destination within the Kingdom, already welcoming guests with fully operational resorts such as St. Regis Red Sea Resort, Six Senses Southern Dunes, and Desert Rock, with many more scheduled to open by the end of the year. As part of its mandate, Red Sea Global is offering transformative travel experiences combining wellness offerings with sustainability across its luxury destinations at The Red Sea.
&nbsp;
<h2>Fully Integrated Wellness Retreats Bring Travellers to Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea</h2>
Blending conservation, nature trails, marine life, organic nutrition, and fitness programmes with the latest advancements in wellness technologies, The Red Sea resorts offer guests experiences that go beyond traditional tourism, with wellness principles and packages reflected in carefully selected brands such as Six Senses, Clinique La Prairie shaping the entire guest journey. In an invigorating blend of East meets West, wellness offerings such as acupuncture and Chinese medicine pay respect to Eastern philosophies with the added benefit of Western advancements.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>Six Senses Southern Dunes</h2>
Six Senses Southern Dunes at The Red Sea reveals itself as a place of calm and serenity, where wellness has always been a stalwart element of the Six Senses luxury brand since 1995, playing a key role in all resorts. The resort’s 43,000-square-foot spa is a resplendent sanctuary, designed to blend with the surrounding Saudi Arabian landscape, bringing a sense of the outdoors in. Every detail has been curated to evoke a space that feels equally expansive yet profoundly intimate. Spread across two levels, the upper floor is home to a gym with panoramic views, and below, the spa level is dedicated to deep relaxation and renewal, with six treatment rooms, a sensory suite with a plunge pool, open-air cabanas for treatments in the fresh desert breeze and a Holistic Anti-Aging Centre with pre-and-post treatment relaxation areas.
&nbsp;
<h2>The St. Regis Red Sea Resort&nbsp;</h2>
The Ummahat Islands are home to one of the most exclusive resorts: St. Regis Red Sea Resort, which has been welcoming guests since January 2024. Few would have been able to forecast a property of this calibre in the Kingdom, where overwater villas pop up out of turquoise waters and unroll against the entire 3 km-long island, ringed by a pristine coral reef. The St. Regis Spa is an immersive retreat where treatments go far beyond the ordinary. The signature three-hour Celebration Ritual sets the tone, beginning with a stone body polish before moving into a beautifully choreographed massage inspired by the grace of ballet. Other treatments are equally impressive, featuring everything from gold- and platinum-plated hot stone massages to body scrubs infused with crushed meteorites and volcanic rock. Holistic therapies take relaxation to new heights, with sound healing, olfactory meditation, and chakra-balancing sessions designed to restore the body and senses.
&nbsp;
<h2>Desert Rock</h2>
The fifth property to open at The Red Sea, and the third resort owned and operated by Red Sea Global, Desert Rock resort looks plucked out of a fairytale, boasting a spectacular setting in the cliffs of Hejaz Mountain, and taking luxury to another landscape. The resort’s wellness offerings are designed to nurture body, mind, and spirit, with five tranquil treatment rooms, a private hammam, water therapy facilities, an open-air treatment space, and a dedicated yoga pavilion – including aerial yoga sessions for a more immersive practice. This holistic approach to well-being is deeply rooted in the surroundings, where every detail, from architecture to service, is designed to preserve the environment and enhance key terrestrial habitats in a unique resort powered entirely by sunlight.

Cultural Heritage Meets Modern Luxury at the Red Sea

Discover Red Sea resorts blending Saudi cultural heritage with modern luxury, offering immersive and sustainable experiences under Vision 2030.

<img src="https://146414713.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/146414713/Imported_Blog_Media/unnamed%20(8)-jpg-4.jpg" width="1024" height="628" loading="lazy" alt="unnamed (8)-jpg-4" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%; width: 1024px;">
&nbsp;

Saudi Arabia’s next chapter in tourism at The Red Sea is wonderfully integrating history, traditions, and sustainability as part of its Vision 2030 programme. The coastal region is poised to become a leading destination for luxury hospitality, backed by Red Sea Global’s regenerative developments in the area, high standards of service, and a commitment to cultural heritage.
Luxury hotels, wellness resorts, and branded residences along the west coast of Saudi’s Red Sea are gearing up to make a powerful impact while embedding Saudi cultural values and traditions into the guest experience, painting a meaningful perspective of the Kindom’s heritage. With a suite of new properties set to open later this year, Red Sea is offering travellers a unique introduction to the Kingdom’s rich history amid its most luxurious yet natural surroundings. A value proposition without precedent, this new destination is going to attract a niche market of global tourists and affluent individuals in search of meaningful and high-end travel experiences. Blending contemporary luxury with Saudi heritage, these five-star resorts are important players on the Vision 2030 agenda, equally promoting cultural immersion as well as sustainable tourism.
&nbsp;
<h2>Red Sea Global: Honouring The Past, Looking to The Future</h2>
Upcoming luxury hotels at the Red Sea are well-positioned to welcome guests seeking immersive experiences and genuine connections with the places they visit. Red Sea Global – a leading developer of regenerative tourism destinations – is establishing new benchmarks for hospitality, which are fully integrated with the Kingdom’s cultural and environmental landscape, offering not only personalised luxury but experiences and places that are exclusive to Saudi Arabia. With the presence of international brands such as Ritz Carlton, Six Senses, Hilton, and Four Seasons bringing global visibility and expertise to the Kingdom, these developments are a great opportunity to balance tradition with progress and luxury, enriching the guests' journey while adding regional touches. From locally inspired designs that celebrate the diversity of landscapes, and the beauty of the desert to unrivalled holistic and wellness offerings, Red Sea resorts support the preservation of cultural identity.
&nbsp;
<h2>Blending Luxury with Deep-Rooted Saudi Traditions</h2>
The resorts in The Red Sea are leaders in redefining luxury hospitality in the region’s tourism landscape. The first one to welcome visitors and a prime example of what’s yet to come, Six Senses Southern Dunes paints an impressive picture of The Red Sea’s potential, offering an immersive and informative Saudi experience that goes beyond typical resort offerings. From design principles to curated dining and local-specific activities, Six Senses Southern Dunes weaves cultural narratives into every aspect of the guest experience. Drawing on the ancient heritage of the Nabataean people, the resort remains authentic to the region, as evidenced by materials and textures throughout the property. The St. Regis Red Sea Resort on Ummahat islands operates on a similar philosophy, adopting sustainable practices, and curating local encounters that celebrate the land’s rich heritage while supporting its preservation. Surrounded by mainland to the east and mountains silhouetted against the sky, on the west side, the resort reveals the Red Sea stretching far into the horizon, with Nujuma Ritz-Carlton Reserve also visible across the water.
&nbsp;
As Saudi Arabia reaches closer to Vision 2030, tourism will play an integral role in establishing the Kingdom as a prime destination worldwide. Honouring tradition and promoting heritage, <a href="https://sothebysrealty.sa/en/the-journal/red-sea-resort" rel="noopener">luxury resorts at the Red Sea</a> become part of each guest’s journey, delivering personalised experiences that resonate and delve deeply into the essence of the place and space. Inspired by and adding to the island’s landscape, these properties show what is possible for The Red Sea as a whole.

From Nabateans to Now: How Desert Rock Resort Honours the Arabian Landscape

Discover Desert Rock Resort, a stunning eco-retreat in Saudi Arabia’s Hejaz mountains, blending luxury, sustainability, and Nabatean heritage.

&nbsp;

In the rugged Hejaz mountains of west Saudi Arabia lies a powerful yet subtle gesture of postmodern architecture: Desert Rock. Designed by Oppenheimer Architecture in partnership with Red Sea Global (RSG), this incredible, cave-like resort was chiselled into being with profound respect for its dramatic surroundings. The five-star eco-resort opened its doors in December 2024, marking the start of a new era in sustainable tourism in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Rooms, suites, and villas are built into the natural rocks of the mountain, creating a spectacular variation of accommodation options. The most prestigious is the Royal Villa – a three-bedroom secluded space hidden in an earthen valley. For a truly unique experience with extraordinary views, the Cliff Hanging Villas are tucked away high up in the massifs with private suspended pools (indeed, these villas would not look out of place on the movie set of Dune.)&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdM7W9lmeNgw1UqBRQWDIeHjS3ZExoVWlHYpEYLN75Go6SKvoG9juQWZlVomef3c-NKzHy7q3ecJscM7KFiBVHS0ll_sE5uiy6ZTWGeNPBEaZeEfxiwxJEac3Ov8h20nd3mi5_k?key=RqgKpiJl9Hsb9Bv4wx8-NPQ7" loading="lazy" width="1001" height="563" style="width: 1001px; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">
&nbsp;
Desert Rock is a beautiful embodiment of Oppenheimer Architecture’s design philosophy, which works with the language of the Earth to craft spaces that truly belong to the land. The firm writes, “Guided by three philosophical pillars—spirit of place, silent monumentality, and the essential—we have spent decades creating landmark architecture that is highly sensitive and responsive to its context and climate.”
The resort is also a clever and authentic nod to the ancient Nabatean cultures historic to the Arabian Peninsula. The Nabateans were a civilisation renowned for their prescient grasp of intelligent water management and sustainable living, long before the challenges of a rapidly warming climate demanded such innovation. Evidence of their ingenuity can be seen in landmarks like Madain Saleh (Al-Hijr), Petra, and Wadi Rum, where intricate systems of cisterns, dams, and aqueducts ensured a reliable water supply in the arid desert environment.
In much the same way, Desert Rock is built on a similar principle of natural efficiency, where sustainability is much more than a buzzword. The structure itself is integrated into the landscape without disturbing the region’s natural habitats, and it runs on 100% renewable energy, including solar. It also has intelligent water collection and waste management systems, with recycling and composting facilities in place to minimise landfill contributions.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcXMlo-jIU8ytyXNpJKilDfBlwpBYwGL3vqz4biCnvZZbf0ILHoE0CcxZkk3pfa2rKeOfrORMshtioo4JXc4I25kkL3Mi4n50dPJPfmtcv-pTjalOwb8eZgHww0pKn-isLEFkqYpw?key=RqgKpiJl9Hsb9Bv4wx8-NPQ7" loading="lazy" width="767" height="558"> 
As part of Red Sea Global’s regenerative tourism initiative, Desert Rock ensures the impact of visitors is not only neutral but positive for the environment and local communities. This is achieved in a number of ways: visitor numbers are limited, materials are recycled and locally sourced, and the lighting complies with dark sky principles to preserve the pristine desert night and protect bird migration patterns.&nbsp;
Desert Rock is owned and operated by Red Sea Global. John Pagano, group CEO of Red Sea Global, said, “We are ready to welcome guests to Desert Rock, our third self-operated hotel in the Red Sea Global hospitality portfolio. This is more than just a hotel — it is a unique property, crafted into the rock face, offering a truly immersive experience where luxury and nature come together to create a truly unforgettable escape.”
The mountain resort is located within The Red Sea and is just 20 minutes from Red Sea International Airport. It stands as one of the finest examples of Saudi architecture, where rich heritage is integrated into a bold and sustainable vision for the future.

5 Top Luxury Red Sea Resorts in Saudi Arabia

Discover 5 top luxury Red Sea resorts in Saudi Arabia, blending eco-friendly design, stunning landscapes, and world-class hospitality.

Throughout 2024, Red Sea Global made incredible strides transforming what was largely an unknown, pristine archipelago on Saudi Arabia’s west coast into one of the world’s most exciting eco-tourism destinations. This stunning and biodiverse stretch of sea is now home to a number of forward-thinking resorts that put people and planet first. From eco-lodges chiselled into ancient mountain faces to stainless steel overwater pods, these island retreats blend sustainable, futuristic design with Saudi heritage and hospitality.&nbsp;

&nbsp;
Here are five new Red Sea resorts that set a new standard for exclusive and sustainable travel in the Kingdom and beyond.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>Desert Rock&nbsp;</h2>
<img src="https://146414713.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/146414713/Imported_Blog_Media/AD_4nXecrPJ3dWWTrbbx_3-qmtN-5cf1EbdpU_PzeFEkq7PFnHUUU4XKsr5bnTnWbJMWwXCF5PKP5XnHraDQqIjzfI-H581vby-xlqMNCaycwOZrDbuxzZLA1pZDwjFFhYBA-9Gj3oR5yA.png" width="1000" height="562" loading="lazy" style="width: 1000px; height: auto; max-width: 100%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;">
&nbsp;
The jewel in the crown of Red Sea Global’s portfolio, Desert Rock is an extraordinary eco-resort built into the rugged massifs of the Hejaz mountains. Designed by Oppenheimer Architecture, this boutique, sustainable resort is powered by 100% renewable energy and has advanced water collection and conservation systems reflective of ancient Nabatean civilisations. Suites and villas come in a spectacular variety of options, from three-bedroom ones hidden in an earthen valley to cliff-hanging ones perched high up in the hills with private suspended pools.&nbsp;
Guests at Desert Rock can enjoy a range of authentic dining experiences, from wood-fire cooking at Nyra to casual poolside dining at Wadi. The resort’s spa offers treatments inspired by its desert surroundings, including the ‘moonlight meteorite massage,’ which uses oil infused with meteorite extracts – a subtle nod to the resort’s ambient, otherworldly atmosphere.
&nbsp;
<h2>Six Senses Southern Dunes&nbsp;</h2>
<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdwkz58KWQKYEHg_Y5fImpJ88dYofqgs-OKkjhPd28X8YcCzchbRc0-Gm3TDtMj0ULtV2eokCoMCR3r65qjNUKzMg3Vqm3s4LO9-U3StJmfb8aQwn0p0Q4SPTnKR3A8jyNniit81g?key=Z4Nh_VKjuscRp27tK80SOLzX" loading="lazy" width="1000" height="667" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;">

The first resort to open at The Red Sea in 2023, Six Senses Southern Dunes is built along an ancient trade route. Like Desert Rock, the architectural language of the resort speaks to Nabatean traditions, infused with minimalist, contemporary design elements. ​The low-density resort has 36 guest suites and 40 pool villas, each with incredible views over the Hejaz mountains. Six Senses Southern Dunes embraces its coastal, mountainous landscape with a selection of on-site activities ranging from conservation diving to mountain biking and trail running. It’s the perfect Red Sea resort for an enriching, active break, made even better with an exceptional selection of dining options.&nbsp;

<h2>Shebara Resort</h2>

&nbsp;
Among the most unique and futuristic resorts in The Red Sea is Shebara Resort. Built on the banks of the gleaming Al Wajh Lagoon, this secluded haven is a collection of air bubble-shaped stainless steel orbs that beautifully mirror the sky and sea. The resort was designed by Killa Design, the same architects behind Dubai’s Museum of the Future, and is entirely powered by a local solar farm. Activities available at this overwater resort include e-motor watersports, catamaran sailing, snorkeling, and a spa. Shebara may look like a quiet Maldivan honeymoon resort, but it is child and family-friendly with plenty of outdoor play areas and a kid’s club. It is a 30-minute seaplane ride from Red Sea International Airport.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve&nbsp;</h2>

Nujuma, meaning ‘stars’ in Arabic, is a seashell-shaped resort that opened its doors in May 2024 on Ummahat Island. It is the first Ritz-Carlton Reserve in the Middle East and features 63 solar-powered villas, 20 of which are built over the water in a perfect circle with elevated causeways. Each villa is adorned with traditional Saudi-inspired decor with Bedouin textiles, locally-crafted artefacts, and domed wooden lattice ceilings. Thoughtfully crafted for an enriching stay, the rooms each have a telescope and panoramic windows to soak up the star-filled Red Sea skies. Activities and amenities here include a spa, snorkelling, sailing, and unique stargazing experiences led by a local Saudi astrologer.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>The St. Regis Red Sea Resort&nbsp;</h2>

&nbsp;
Not far from Nujuma on Ummahat Island lies The St. Regis Red Sea Resort, a standout destination owned by Red Sea Global. As one of the largest resorts in The Red Sea, it has 90 avant-garde villas, including stunning overwater coral villas and quiet beachfront dune villas. While its exceptional spa and world-class dining impress, the real highlight is its outdoor experiences. Guests enjoy fat-tire and gravel biking, heritage diving, and wing surfing, absorbing the raw beauty of one of the world’s most untouched and unspoiled landscapes.

Throughout 2024, Red Sea Global made incredible strides transforming what was largely an unknown, pristine archipelago on Saudi Arabia’s west coast into one of the world’s most exciting eco-tourism destinations. This stunning and biodiverse stretch of sea is now home to a number of forward-thinking resorts that put people and planet first. From eco-lodges chiselled into ancient mountain faces to stainless steel overwater pods, these island retreats blend sustainable, futuristic design with Saudi heritage and hospitality.&nbsp;

Red Sea Global Project Setting New Standards in Eco-Tourism

Explore Red Sea Global's eco-tourism destinations in Saudi Arabia, blending luxury, sustainability, and pristine natural beauty.

Saudi Arabia is driving transformation at a scale never seen before, entering a new era of economic growth, real estate development, and hospitality. Beyond serving as a vision for the Kingdom, this transformation is also a blueprint for the world, setting new benchmarks for how urban environments can evolve to meet the challenges and needs of future generations. While Saudi Arabia is embracing cutting-edge innovation in its developments, it remains deeply committed to green living initiatives, protecting the natural environment, and enhancing it for generations to come. This transformative curve will blend contemporary aesthetics with responsible building, leading to destinations and spaces that are as much forward-thinking as they are environmentally resonant. Supporting the Kingdom to realise its green agenda and unlock tourism as a new sustainable sector is Red Sea Global – a leading developer of real estate and regenerative tourism destinations at The Red Sea and AMAALA – rebalancing the relationship between luxury tourism, eco-tourism, and the natural world.

<h2>Red Sea Global: Invested in Sustainable Tourism</h2> 
Pressing challenges of climate change and Saudi Arabia’s bold sustainability agenda under Vision 2030 means eco-friendly solutions in construction are rapidly evolving, and <a href="https://sothebysrealty.sa/en/the-journal/red-sea-project" rel="noopener">Red Sea Global</a> is leading the charge. Committed to renewable energy, low-carbon strategies, and resilient urban planning, the developer works towards reducing environmental impact while advancing sustainable tourism and real estate. This approach includes choosing low-carbon materials for interiors and furnishings for the upcoming Red Sea resorts and employing construction technologies, such as zero-carbon cement and sustainable building systems that align with the Kingdom’s commitment to creating energy-efficient, resilient buildings. 
&nbsp; 
<h2>Red Sea Resorts: Pristine Nature, Unique Experiences</h2> 
As the world's fourth-largest barrier reef system, The Red Sea stretches over 28,000 square kilometres, surrounded by a majestic archipelago of more than 90 untouched islands, pristine beaches, vast desert dunes, mountain canyons, and heritage sites. A large-scale regenerative tourism project with Indian Ocean-worthy resorts, Red Sea is destined to be one of the most glorious getaways in the region, aiming to have no waste-to-landfill or single-use plastic and be 100 percent carbon-neutral. With the Red Sea International Airport currently operational, you can land in the middle of the action and check into one of the five resorts already open to guests.&nbsp; 
Some of these prime retreats include the spectacular Desert Rock Resort, positioned within the desert cliffs, and Shebara, the first resort owned and operated by Red Sea Global at the Red Sea. Shebara is where guests can check into overwater pod-like rooms or beach villas and explore a 30 to 40-metre reef next to the beach, abundant in marine life. Nujuma, one of only five Ritz-Carlton Reserves worldwide, takes centre stage on the Red Sea’s Blue Hole private cluster of islands, amid pristine natural beauty, having been designed in full synergy with the natural environment. Six Senses Southern Dunes is another unique destination centred on wellness and eco-tourism. The resort offers accommodation amid panoramic views of desert mountains and winding wadis. At its heart lies the Oasis, a space inspired by the shape of a desert flower where guests can visit Earth Lab, an interactive space showing the resort’s commitment to sustainability and its eco-friendly drive. 
&nbsp; 
The creation of these responsible tourism destinations collectively boost Saudi Arabia’s luxury tourism and real estate offerings, while focusing on environmental stewardship, supporting the Kingdom’s conservation efforts, and promoting biodiversity.
