The Red Sea EDITION has officially opened on Shura Island, Saudi Arabia, marking its second establishment in the country after a debut in Jeddah.
This luxury hotel is
positioned along a kilometre of private beachfront, offering views of The Red
Sea and access to the island’s first 18-hole golf course, designed by Brian
Curley.
As part of Saudi
Arabia's Vision 2030, the island will feature a collection of luxury resorts,
marinas, and entertainment facilities, emphasising sustainable tourism.
The hotel is a
collaboration between Marriott International, EDITION Hotels, and Red Sea
Global, focusing on ecological
protection and high-end guest experiences, highlighted by its 100%
solar-powered infrastructure.
Guests arriving at the
Red Sea International Airport will enjoy a scenic drive to the hotel, which
consists of low stone and wooden pavilions designed for refined simplicity.
The resort includes
240 elegantly designed rooms, various leisure amenities, and a vibrant dining
scene that emphasises wellness and local ingredients.
The design, crafted by
Rockwell Group, blends architecture with the natural landscape, utilising
materials that reflect the island's environment.
Each pavilion features
unique rooftops resembling coral formations, and the dining experiences aim to
create a social atmosphere with live performances and communal gatherings.
“The opening of The
Red Sea EDITION marks a significant milestone in the brand’s continued growth
across the region and deepens its commitment to delivering experiences that
transcend conventional luxury,” says George Fleck, Senior Vice President
and Global Brand Leader, EDITION. “As our second property in Saudi Arabia, this
resort embodies the EDITION ethos of crafting highly personalised spaces that
feel attuned to their environment. EDITION remains committed to redefining
luxury through authenticity, contemporary design, and the brand’s signature
intuitive service to create a destination that truly resonates with today’s
