Red Sea Global (RSG), the company behind The Red Sea, a destination focused on sustainable tourism, is preparing to welcome more visitors in 2024 by unveiling new resorts, amenities, and exclusive activities.
The destination saw its first guests in 2023 and currently receives weekly flights from Riyadh and Jeddah at the Red Sea International Airport, with international flights scheduled to commence this year.
Building on the success of Six Senses Southern Dunes and St. Regis The Red Sea Resort in 2023, The Red Sea plans to introduce additional resorts this year.
Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, one of only six worldwide, is already taking bookings for stays starting on May 26th, 2024. Situated on the Ummahat Islands, guests can enjoy diving and snorkelling adventures in one of the world’s most pristine destinations.
Another eagerly awaited resort, Shebara, will also open this year, offering a reef drop-off near the beach, perfect for exploring marine life.
Designed to blend with the natural surroundings, the resort features stainless steel villas mirroring the hues of the ocean and sky.
Meanwhile, Desert Rock resort is scheduled to welcome guests later this year. With just 60 keys, the resort promises exclusive luxury with unique accommodations nestled into the mountainside, including ground-level dwellings, crevice hotel suites halfway up the ridge, and rooms carved within the rock itself.
RSG’s subsidiary brands, Akun, Galaxea, and WAMA, offer guests experiences that highlight the destination’s landscapes.
Akun provides land-based adventures like guided tours of historical sites, mountain biking, hiking, and desert safaris, according to Arabian Business.
WAMA and Galaxea focus on delivering memorable experiences both above and below the water. Visitors can engage in diving, snorkeling, kayaking, kite surfing, and sailing while exploring The Red Sea’s diverse marine life, home to various coral species, fish, and protected creatures like the hawksbill turtle and halavi guitarfish.
During COP28 in Dubai, RSG pledged its “Coral Commitment” to safeguard and restore corals in the Red Sea and beyond.
By 2030, The Red Sea aims to feature 50 resorts, offering over 8,000 hotel rooms and more than 1,000 residential properties across 22 islands and six inland sites. Additionally, the development will include luxury marinas, golf courses, entertainment, and leisure facilities, providing visitors with a comprehensive and immersive experience.
