Six Senses boasts dramatic landscapes, featuring volcanic craters, expansive mountain ranges, desert dunes, and archaeological treasures.

 

Every aspect of the property showcases artistic expressions inspired by Bedouin heritage.

A luxury resort on a private island in the Red Sea

 

Located on a pristine private island, The St. Regis Red Sea Resort artfully blends the brand’s avant-garde style and bespoke service with a progressive new benchmark for sustainable development.

 

Accessed from the coast of Saudi Arabia via chartered boat or seaplane, the island occupies a secluded position in the pioneering The Red Sea project. 

 

Each of the 90 overwater and beachfront villas has a spacious footprint and private pool. The resort also boasts outdoor pools, high tech fitness centre, exceptional fine dining and the iconic St. Regis Butler service

Destination update

  • Dakar Rally: The 2024 Dakar Rally is happening now! From 5-19 January, the famous race is passing through the Arabian desert, starting in AlUla and ending in Yanbu along the Red Sea. Covering the equivalent of 5,000 km in distance, 60% of its race will cover new areas not yet discovered by the drivers throughout the years.  Plan ahead now for the 2025 Dakar Rally and experience this race in person in Saudi Arabia! 
  • Ramadan: The holy month of Ramadan is expected to begin from March 10th to April 9th. It is the time of the year when Muslims around the world focus on prayer, refrain from food, drink, and certain other activities during daylight hours, and give to charity.  It is also a magical time to visit Saudi Arabia, with the unique opportunity to partake in the ceremonies and experience genuine Saudi hospitality.
