Shura Island unveils first wave of world-class resorts

THE pristine shores of Shura Island, the main hub of The Red Sea destination, are rapidly transforming into a beacon of global luxury and regenerative tourism as the first wave of world-class resorts makes its debut.

This landmark development recently saw the opening of the highly anticipated The Red Sea Edition and will soon welcome the SLS The Red Sea and the InterContinental The Red Sea Resort before the year's end.

This initial launch phase not only unveils a stunning new destination but also solidifies Shura Island's status as a premier global hub, complete with the recently inaugurated Shura Links, Saudi Arabia's first 18-hole island golf course, with an eventual collection of 11 world-class resorts and an exclusive residential community to follow in the coming months. These resorts – all of which will open across the next few months – include Faena; Fairmont; Four Seasons; Grand Hyatt; Jumeirah; Miraval; Raffles; and Rosewood.

Once complete, Shura Island will be home to a collection of world-class resorts, marinas, entertainment, dining and leisure facilities.

The island is also the setting for a collection of exclusive homes. The first properties available to buy on the island were announced earlier this year and will be ready for handover at the end of 2025. Residents will have access to all of the island's entertainments, as well as its pristine beaches and azure waters, while also offering seamless access to the wider destination and iconic resorts.

This extraordinary location is part of an archipelago of 90 untouched islands, fringed by the world’s fourth-largest barrier reef and home to flourishing coral gardens, crystalline lagoons, and thriving marine life.

RED SEA EDITION

The second Edition in the country following the debut of the brand in Jeddah last year, The Red Sea Edition redefines the codes of traditional luxury, while unlocking the wonders of The Red Sea.
