Red Sea Global (RSG), the multi-project developer behind the regenerative tourism destinations, The Red Sea and Amaala, has announced it will operate its own luxury hotel brand at The Red Sea destination, named Shebara. Shebara is the company’s second hotel brand announced in the last month, with island sanctuary Thuwal Private Retreat being the first. Shebara will open in summer 2024 and is the first resort to be owned and operated by RSG at The Red Sea destination. Located on Sheybarah Island in the thriving Al Wajh Lagoon, the resort is home to iconic stainless steel orbs housing 73 keys, including overwater and beach villas. Developed by Killa Design, the entire vision of the resort centres around reflections of nature.
Each space has been designed to flow with its environment, with the stainless-steel villas reflecting the colours and surface patterns of the ocean and the intense colours of the sky as they change throughout the day. The overwater orbs are cantilevered over the water, which creates the effect of a string of pearls levitating above the water. There is both a family pool and an adult-only pool, which includes ‘lily pad’ seating terraces with panoramic views of the breath-taking sunset. Guests can choose from two specialty restaurants, and the resort also includes a spa and fitness centre nestled among the island’s sand dunes. Development of Shebara is happening at pace, with all 38 stainless steel overwater villas and 25 of the beach villas already in place.
