Shebarah Island has transformed from pristine land in the heart of the Red Sea into an architectural and tourist masterpiece blending nature with futuristic engineering. The island has reshaped the mental image of luxury tourism, becoming a global destination that attracts attention with its innovative design.

The floating villas designed as shiny silver spheres give Shebarah Island a unique visual identity. The horizon details reflect off the polished surfaces of the villas, merging with the sea water and the blue sky, making it one of the most widely shared images of luxury tourist experiences worldwide.

Shebarah Island is located within the Red Sea destination on the western coast of Saudi Arabia between the towns of Al Wajh and Umluj. Shebarah Resort is situated 25 km from the mainland coast and can be reached by a 30-40 minute boat trip or using a seaplane in a 30-minute flight from Red Sea International Airport.

Shebarah Resort comprises 73 luxury villas, including 38 floating villas on the sea surface and 35 beach villas. The resort is the first fully owned and operated project by Red Sea Global, offering visitors an experience that combines privacy with open views of the Red Sea waters.

The villa design uses stainless steel to reflect the colors of the sky and sea and blend with the natural environment. The project employs renewable energy while applying the highest sustainability standards to minimize environmental impact and protect coral reefs and marine life in the area.

In a related context, the island features a rich marine environment with intact coral reefs and clear waters. The area provides a suitable destination for diving enthusiasts, water sports lovers, and those seeking pristine nature experiences.

This distinction did not go unnoticed globally, as Time magazine included Shebarah Resort in its list of the World's Greatest Places. This selection reflects the competitiveness of Saudi tourist projects in the luxury hospitality sector at an international level.

Shebarah Island embodies the ongoing transformation in Saudi Arabia's tourism sector through the development of eco-friendly destinations. The project supports the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 aimed at building a vibrant tourism sector that competes with international destinations.

The Shebarah project also presents a new model of sustainable luxury in the global tourism sector. This destination affirms the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's ability to develop distinctive projects that combine environmental preservation with attracting tourism investments.

The iconic Shebarah is the first resort owned and operated by Red Sea Global, combining luxury, sustainability, and innovation to redefine the concept of luxury tourism.
