The beauty of The Red Sea resorts
The Red Sea resorts are a collection of luxurious destinations located on Saudi Arabia’s west coast, forming part of a larger project focused on sustainability and exceptional experiences, set to be realized by 2030. Each resort is one of a kind, offering something remarkable for every guest and visitor. Whether it’s relaxing by grand pools, taking on exciting adventures and hikes, or indulging in delicious cuisine, these resorts have it all. Right now, each one also features a unique selection of Saudi-inspired mixology drinks, adding a special local touch to the experience.
The St. Regis Red Sea Resort: Bold and Beautiful
The Coral Mary
This drink at the St. Regis Red Sea resort, is a tribute to the natural beauty of the region, served in coral-toned glassware that catches the eye. It layers dried Saudi black lime and sea-harvested algae for a light, briny note, with herbs adding an earthy touch. Instead of a salted rim, you get a celery VOM cloud, giving a playful spin to a classic style. It’s elegant, chic and a confident way to start your Saudi mixology journey.
Desert Rock: Bright and Full of Life
Desert Bloom
Think of the colors and scents of the desert after rain, this drink from Desert Rock, captures that feeling with hibiscus, strawberry, grapefruit juice, and rose honey. It’s vibrant, a little tart, and gently sweet, the kind of drink that wakes up your senses.
Nyra Spice
Here’s where Saudi mixology turns up the character. Passionfruit meets honey saffron syrup, chamomile, mint, and a touch of smoke. It’s floral, fruity, and slightly spiced, with a smooth finish that keeps you coming back for another sip.
Shebara: East Meets West
Fugu Mioga
Taking cues from Japanese culinary traditions, this mocktail from Shebara, mixes rice water, pineapple juice with ginger, and orange blossom honey. Sweet and zesty in perfect balance, it’s a drink that is perfect who prefer a sour yet sweet taste.
Shebara Tree
Mediterranean flavors are the main here with olive leaf, apple juice, artisanal olive & cucumber soda, lime, and agave, topped with olive wood smoke. It is downright herbal, fruity, and grounded, a drink that feels fresh yet rooted in tradition, much like the spirit of Saudi mixology itself.
Nujuma: Drinks Written in the Stars
Moon Valley
This one takes a botanical path, mixing verbena, curry leaf, hibiscus shrub, sage, orange cordial, and lime. The flavors are earthy with a citrus lift, making it a calm yet refreshing choice, perfectly reflecting Nujuma‘s vibe.
Sagittarius
A bold mix of Lyre’s coffee, coconut, vanilla, and passionfruit delivers creaminess with tropical brightness. It’s adventurous, memorable, and a fitting close to your Saudi mixology tasting tour.
Not your average drink list
The Saudi mixology at The Red Sea, stands out not just for its recipes, but for the experience it creates. Each drink tells a small story, from the choice of local herbs to the way it’s presented. The Red Sea’s resorts have turned the art of mocktail-making into something that feels close to home but still showing off its luxurious flair.
