The Red Sea EDITION is nestled along a kilometre of private beachfront with uninterpreted views across The Red Sea and Shura Links, Saudi Arabia’s first 18-hole island golf course designed by world-renowned golf architect Brian Curley. Once complete, Shura Island will be home to a collection of world-class resorts, marinas, entertainment, dining and leisure facilities, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 to position the country as a global hub for luxury tourism and regenerative development. This location is part of an archipelago of 90 untouched islands, fringed by the world’s fourth-largest barrier reef and home to flourishing coral gardens, lagoons and marine life.
“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,” commented 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 discerning traveller.”
Upon arrival at the Red Sea International Airport, guests are whisked away on a scenic desert drive leading to Saudi Arabia’s longest internal bridge that links the mainland to Shura Island. At the end of a palm-lined driveway, the hotel unfolds as a series of low stone and wooden pavilions perched on white sand beachfront. The property showcases 240 elegantly designed guest rooms, including 53 one- and two-bedroom suites, outdoor pools, a spa and gym, as well as lounges, sea- and pool-front dining, and signature restaurants, all rooted in the EDITION brand’s strong sense of refined simplicity and style.
