Luxury vacations in stunning locations.
The Red Sea is one of the most exciting projects to come out of the Kingdom.
The ambitious regeneration tourism location recently opened its first resort open to the public, the Sherbara Resort on the eponymous Sheybarah Island.
Now the gorgeous spot has announced the opening of the luxurious SLS The Red Sea Resort. The resort marks the debut of the L.A-born SLS brand in the Kingdom and we cannot think of a more picturesque area for it.
Affectionately nicknamed as the Maldives of the Middle East, the Red Sea project spans across a whopping 28,000 square kilometers on Saudi’s west coast. The area is set to be home to at least 16 resorts.
SLS The Red Sea Resort
SLS The Red Sea Resort sits all pretty on the coastline and a memorable vacation on the Red Sea is what the resort guarantees. Drawing inspiration straight from nature, the one-story property will be incorporated into its surroundings and will represent the “coral bloom” concept. Its earthy tone pattern provides a calming background that prepares the viewer for an unmatched level of luxury by the sea.
SLS will bring signature style and glamour to 150 rooms, including 12 suites and 15 villas, spanning over 800,000 square feet of single-story accommodations.

SLS The Red Sea is rolling out the red carpet for you to be the first to experience its bold design, world-class dining, and signature flair. The resort’s opening is just the beginning of a dazzling reveal, with 150 luxurious rooms, suites, and villas, including 15 ultra-private pool villas.

Every corner of SLS The Red Sea is designed to surprise and delight, blending high-end luxury with the brand’s signature playfulness. Think theatrical interiors, witty design details, and indulgent touches like the iconic SLS duck, reimagined by Saudi artist Heba Ismail as a bold cultural statement. Dining is a show in itself, from London’s famed Seabird and Japanese-inspired Floating World to Italian favorite Fi’lia, each offering immersive culinary experiences full of flavor and flair.
When it’s time to unwind, Ciel Spa offers custom treatments, hydro pools, and beauty lounges, while the resort’s pool parties light up the island with DJs and glowing lights. Evenings sparkle with outdoor cinema screenings under the stars, and everything from fitness sessions to stylish events carries SLS’s signature energy. Perfectly placed on Shura Island, just minutes from Red Sea International Airport, this resort isn’t just a getaway, it’s the ultimate destination to see, be seen, and savor the extraordinary.
