The solar-powered resort advances Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 push for regenerative, design-led tourism.

Overview

  • The 240-key property includes 53 one- and two-bedroom suites, outdoor pools, a spa and gym, and sea- and pool-front dining.
  • Developed by Marriott International’s EDITION and Red Sea Global, the resort operates on 100% solar power aligned with the destination’s regenerative goals.
  • Rockwell Group’s design features rammed earth, coral stone and natural oak with coral-inspired rooftops that emphasize indoor‑outdoor flow.
  • Guests arrive via Red Sea International Airport and cross the country’s longest internal bridge, with the hotel set by Shura Links, an 18-hole course by Brian Curley.
  • Phased activation continues with signature venue ANASA scheduled for December under Saudi chef Basma Elkhereiji, alongside broader island development to come.
