Rosewood Hotels & Resorts has been selected by Red Sea Global to manage Rosewood Amaala in the Red Sea Region of Saudi Arabia.
Rosewood Amaala will be surrounded by the world’s fourth-largest reef and the Hijazi mountains. Red Sea Global aims to protect the environment, besides enhancing the natural ecosystems actively through regeneration and destination development. An area considered to be at the center of the world’s most ambitious regenerative tourism projects, the Red Sea is situated along the country’s west coast and is home to diverse and delicate natural environments. The resort will be part of Red Sea Global’s Amaala destination, an integrated wellness haven.
Rosewood Amaala will have 110 guestrooms and suites, besides 25 luxury branded residences. Designed by architecture firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel Architects, sustainability will be at the cornerstone of the property’s design. The larger Amaala development has set targets towards zero impact and the entire destination aims to be powered by 100 percent renewable energy and to have a zero-carbon footprint—with plans to be zero waste to landfill. Additionally, the endangered hawksbill and green turtles have many nesting sites around the Rosewood Amaala beaches, meaning all construction and design work has been centered around ensuring the turtles are left uninterrupted. For instance, no construction will take place around the nesting areas, and the lighting strategies have been designed to ensure no bright lights shine in the area to avoid disruption.
The property will offer a range of culinary experiences including fine dining, casual eateries and beach-inspired club lounges, all benefiting from views of the Red Sea. To protect the coral reefs around the resort, the property will provide two rock pools, allowing guests safe access to the water and sand. Families can enjoy the programs available at the resort’s Rosewood Explorer’s Club, which curates child-friendly experiences to inspire the next generation of conscious travelers.
The focal point of the resort’s wellness offering is the Asaya Spa, hidden away amongst the rolling landscape, providing a sanctuary for meditation, tranquility, and well-being. The space is complete with private treatment pavilions set around a protected green oasis, where guests can relax and rejuvenate.
Rosewood Amaala joins the brand’s strong pipeline of projects set to open in the Middle East, including Rosewood Doha (2023), Rosewood Riyadh (2025) and Rosewood Red Sea (future opening).
