Substantial progress for luxury wellness destination

Red Sea Global (RSG) continues to make substantial progress with the development of Amaala, the ultra-luxury Saudi Arabian destination on the northwestern coast of the Red Sea that takes health and wellness as its central theme and focus.

One of the most luxurious new resort destinations in Saudi Arabia, Amaala adopts health and wellbeing as its core theme and will provide the highest levels of ‘wellness’ opportunities in a broad mix of offerings.

One of the most luxurious new resort destinations in Saudi Arabia, Amaala adopts health and wellbeing as its core theme and will provide the highest levels of ‘wellness’ opportunities in a broad mix of offerings.

RSG is redefining coastal lifestyle with spaces in Amaala designed for deep connection to nature, self and the community. From medical and integrative wellness and sun-drenched adventure to world-class art and transformative events, the resort seamlessly integrates space for both people and nature.
“We have achieved remarkable progress across every aspect of Amaala, from our signature resorts and immersive experiences to essential utilities and infrastructure. Our unwavering focus is on infusing sustainability and regenerative principles into every facet of the development. Once complete, Amaala will present an extraordinary collection of assets and experiences that will elevate wellness, lifestyle and human connection,” said John Pegano, Group CEO at Red Sea Global.
To date, RSG has awarded more than 600 contracts for Amaala worth nearly SAR 23 billion ($6.13 billion) to world-leading partners who share its ambitions to co-create luxury and wellness destinations that are developed in line with responsible development practices, prioritising regenerative initiatives and collaboration with local communities.
As development advances, several key areas are moving toward completion, each one bringing the destination closer to welcoming guests:
Triple Bay Marina Village: The Equinox Resort is now topped out and concrete structure work on the Village Boutique Hotel main building, condominiums and villas is nearing completion. This bustling hub will soon offer guests a haven of scenic boardwalks, waterfront restaurants, luxurious boutiques and well-known retailers, plus a vibrant year-round events programme, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Red Sea.
The Marina: Flooding of the marina basin, the resort’s stunning central feature, was complete at the end of 2023 and the floating pontoons and fixed docks are under construction.
Yacht Club: All construction contracts have been awarded and concrete works are close to completion, with structural steel and MEP works now started.
Corallium: Steel and façade works at RSG’s marine life institute, which will be home to various marine research operations and visitor experiences, is well advanced and the distinctive, reef-inspired building is now visibly taking shape.
Wellness Core: Superstructures are present on 80% of the 220 buildings within this zone, which will include world leading wellness resorts such as Jayasom and Clinique La Prairie. Guests will discover an environment where they can focus on mental, physical and energy regeneration.
Triple Bay Central: The world-renowned partner resorts and residences in this area are well on track, with Rosewood and Six Senses surpassing the two thirds complete milestone. At Four Seasons, the landscaping, MEP and façade works are underway. Set to open their doors in 2025, the resorts are a key part of Amaala’s wellness and lifestyle ecosystem, providing guests with access to some of the world’s premier hotel, health and leisure brands.
Ocean Golf Course: Amaala will boast three nine-hole golf courses, plus a further nine-hole executive par 3 course. Phase one of the development will total 18 holes and is proceeding well, with all major works complete for three holes, and the remaining 15 holes underway. The courses will allow visitors to experience sports and relaxation in a luxurious environment with scenic ocean views.
Primary Infrastructure: Works are heading towards completion including 35km (21.7mi) of internal roads, plus power, water, irrigation and communications infrastructure. RSF is targeting to energise in December 2024.
Public Realm and Landscaping: RSG expects three million plants and trees to be planted before the end of the year.
In another major development, earlier this year the Ministry of Health approved the design for the Amaala Hospital, which will provide healthcare services for residents and visitors to the 420,000ha destination.
Once complete, Amaala will feature close to 4,000 hotel rooms across 30 hotels, as well as 1,200 luxury villas, apartments and estate homes. It will also be supported by high-end retail, fine dining, wellness and recreational facilities. Amaala will be powered entirely by solar energy, saving the equivalent of nearly half a million tons of CO2 emissions every year.
