As just the second EDITION property in the Kingdom and the very first resort to open on Shura Island, The Red Sea EDITION is truly at the pioneering edge of the top levels of luxury hospitality that will define Saudi Arabia’s ambitious future as a global destination.
The unveiling of The Red Sea EDITION marks a historic moment for global luxury travel, as it becomes the inaugural hotel to open its doors on the spectacular Shura Island. This launch is not just a hotel debut; it is a foundational step in realising Red Sea Global’s vision for a world-leading regenerative tourism destination, solidifying Saudi Arabia’s position on the map of ultra-exclusive retreats.
All the Details - The Red Sea EDITION
Seamlessly connected to the mainland via the nation’s longest internal bridge yet feeling blissfully remote, The Red Sea EDITION is a waterside sanctuary where elemental beauty meets iconic sophistication. Guests arriving at the Red Sea International Airport (RSI) are treated to a scenic 22-kilometre drive, culminating in a journey across the impressive causeway before reaching the tranquility of the resort.
With 240 elegantly designed rooms and 53 suites—some featuring private plunge pools and direct beach access — The Red Sea EDITION offers discerning guests a calm, tactile and indulgent haven.
With ten room categories, and various bed arrangements available for each category (ie. twin, king, queen etc), there will be plenty of choice for a variety of travellers, from couples, to families and large groups of friends. The largest room available is the "Fan Coral Cluster, 4 Bedroom Suite" which offers guests seafront positioning in addition to a private pool and terrace area for lounging, and prices start from SAR13,000 per night.
Beyond the private quarters, the resort features a world-class spa with a dedicated Recovery Dome offering cutting-edge hydrothermal experiences, multiple sea- and pool-front dining destinations, and unparalleled access to the azure waters of the Red Sea and the new Shura Links championship island golf course. It is set to become the ultimate social nexus for global tastemakers venturing to this extraordinary corner of the world.
Blurring Boundaries Between Nature & Architecture
Designed by the renowned Rockwell Group to embody a "barefoot luxury" ethos, the resort's architecture is a narrative in itself.
The hotel unfolds as a series of low stone and wooden pavilions, carefully crafted to blend with the natural topography. Materials like warm rammed earth and natural oak are sculpted to reflect the rugged majesty of the desert canyons and the gentle simplicity of the shoreline. This design, integral to the island’s regenerative "Coral Bloom" concept, ensures the property is in constant dialogue with its pristine environment, making the lines between the architecture and the landscape beautifully fluid.
The rooftops of each pavilion are distinctive, shaped to resemble native coral formations, honouring the marine life just beyond the shore, and this design has become an integral element to the island’s regenerative "Coral Bloom" concept, ensuring the property blends effortlessly with its pristine natural environment.
This exceptional property is the result of a powerful collaboration between Marriott International, EDITION Hotels, and Red Sea Global (RSG), the pioneering developer committed to shaping the future of travel. This partnership is defined by an uncompromising focus on ecological protection blended with high-end guest experiences. This dedication is perhaps best highlighted by the resort’s 100% solar-powered infrastructure, a testament to RSG’s planet-first approach and the island’s commitment to sustainable development.
Two EDITION Hotels in Saudi Arabia
The opening of The Red Sea EDITION marks just the second opening for the brand in the Kingdom, both of which have happened within the last eighteen months. The Jeddah EDITION opened in May 2024, and has since become a popular destination for discerning travellers seeking an ultra-refined luxury experience, and incredible views over the Corniche.
“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 discerning traveller.”
