St Regis Red Sea Resort – Where sustainable luxury meets architectural splendour

Nestled on Ummahat Island in the Al Wajh lagoon, this resort is a marvel of design and architecture

St. Regis Red Sea Resort is crafted by Architect Kengo Kuma and interior design firm Kristina Zanic Consultants. This resort famous for hosting the Red Sea Fashion Week is a ground-breaking project heralding the debut of the first island resort in the Red Sea within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Nestled on Ummahat Island in the Al Wajh lagoon, this resort is a marvel of design and architecture, accessible exclusively by chartered boat or seaplane from the newly inaugurated Red Sea International Airport. The island, enveloped by crystal-clear waters, powdery white beaches and thriving coral reefs, sets the stage for a luxurious and sustainable retreat.

The design narrative, inspired by the island’s natural splendour, resonates throughout the resort. Architectural cues mimic the fluidity of sand dunes and the organic shapes of seashells, while interiors embrace a nature-driven ethos. Soft curves, spiral motifs and a palette drawn from desert hues and marine tones create an ambiance of serenity and harmony.

The villas, whether nestled in the sand dunes or perched overwater, embody this fusion of luxury and nature. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic views, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors. Artworks crafted from natural materials and bespoke furnishings add a touch of elegance, reflecting the resort’s commitment to sustainability and design excellence. Sustainability is at the core of the resort’s ethos, with LEED Platinum certification guiding its development. Renewable energy sources, advanced water treatment and waste management solutions underscore the commitment to environmental stewardship without compromising on luxury and comfort.
