St Regis announces for December the opening of its hotel on the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia, on the string of desert islands of Ummahat, as part of the Red Sea Project.
In December the St Regis Red Sea Resort, part of the Marriott group, will open its doors to the first guests. The 5-star establishment is located right next to the Ritz Carlton on a string of virgin islands, Ummahat, with abundant underwater biodiversity. The island is on the coast of the Red Sea, facing Egypt and a 4-hour drive from Al-Ula, and is only accessible by boat or seaplane.
From white sand beaches to palm gardens to coral reefs, guests will navigate all the elements on land and in the sea with the feeling of being pioneers of tourism in the Saudi kingdom. Bordered by the fourth largest coral reef in the world, the Red Sea has multiple underwater treasures to explore by scuba diving, snorkeling, paddleboarding, or kayaking.
The St Regis Red Sea Resort will have 90 spacious beachfront and overwater jetty villas, named Coral, Dunes, or Astor, offering one to four bedrooms, each with a private pool and terrace, sometimes directly on the beach. Ideally positioned, the villas will be the ideal spot to admire the sunset with expansive water views. The luxurious interiors will pay homage to the surrounding natural landscape by drawing inspiration from the elements of wind, water, and coral. The resort will also include three restaurants: Nesma for a Levantine dinner, Gishiki 45 for a Japanese experience, and Tilina, a steakhouse with stunning views to the horizon. A beach club will allow guests to eat by the infinity pool.
