The Red Sea
One of the most unspoiled luxury destinations in the world
Between desert, coral reefs, and endless dream beaches
The Red Sea is Saudi Arabia's new masterpiece in the luxury travel segment – a destination that uniquely combines pristine nature with visionary sustainability. Along a breathtaking coastline, a visionary project is taking shape that unites 28,000 square kilometers of untouched islands, golden dunes, and spectacular rock landscapes.
By 2030, 50 luxurious hotels with 8,000 rooms will be established here, complemented by villas, residences, and a variety of activities – from diving in the world's fourth-largest barrier reef to desert adventures and cultural discoveries. Luxury ranges from arrival at its own international airport to tailored experiences in the resorts.
At the same time, The Red Sea is setting standards in sustainability: 100% renewable energy, the protection of reefs, mangroves, and desert landscapes, and limited visitor numbers safeguard nature for future generations. Thus, The Red Sea becomes a place where exclusivity and responsibility merge in a unique way.
This destination is not just a travel destination but a statement for exclusive, conscious exploration.

Luxury redefined
Luxury in The Red Sea begins as soon as you arrive at the Red Sea International Airport. The desert-inspired design creates an elegant, exclusive atmosphere that immerses travelers from the very beginning into a world of comfort and individuality. Seamless processes, smart baggage service, and an incomparable ambiance characterize the experience that continues in the resorts – from private villas to fine dining to spa retreats. At the same time, luxury remains closely linked to responsibility: the hotels are harmoniously embedded in the landscape, work with renewable energies, and pay attention to the protection of nature. Thus, exceptional hospitality and sustainable development merge into a new definition of luxury that is not only exclusive but also consciously experienceable.
