RIYADH: Red Sea Global announced the opening of Six Senses in the Triple Bay area of the AMAALA resort on the Red Sea coast, with the property set to welcome its first guests from mid-July, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Wednesday.

RSG Group CEO John Pagano said in a statement that Six Senses has built a global reputation rooted in sustainability and local culture, making it a suitable partner for AMAALA.

The resort is the second outcome of RSG’s collaboration with Six Senses, following the opening of Six Senses Southern Dunes in 2023.

RSG said the resort’s design is inspired by traditional coastal architecture in Saudi Arabia and integrates with the beaches, mangroves and desert mountains that surround it.

The new resort has 100 suites and villas, as well as 25 branded residences.

Wellness facilities include a spa with health center, a biohacking-focused recovery lounge, a Watsu pool, a sound dome, thermal facilities and a range of therapies.

It also has three restaurants, a bakery, a coffee roastery and a cooking school.

At the center of the resort is a mangrove lagoon supported by environmental initiatives, including Earth Lab and the Little Mangrove Explorer program.

Guests will also have access to a number of attractions and activities, including Corallium — the Marine Life Institute, the AMAALA Yacht Club, marine adventures, desert activities, shopping and dining.

Six additional resorts are expected to open at the destination during the year, the statement said.

When development of the Triple Bay area is complete, it is planned to include more than 1,600 hotel rooms across nine resorts.

Red Sea Global is one of the largest giga-projects under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and aims to be a major attraction for international tourists as part of the plan to diversify the country’s economy away from oil.
