Red Sea Global has opened its first owned and operated resort, the ultra-luxury Shebara, in the emerging Saudi Arabia holiday destination. Shebara is the fourth resort to open its doors in the Red Sea precinct, behind Six Senses Southern Dunes in November 2023, The St. Regis Red Sea Resort in January and Nujama, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve in May.
Shebara Resort features 73 overwater and beachfront villas, available in one- and two-bedroom form, with infinity pools, terrace, sunken lounge, daybed and outdoor shower. The overwater villas appear as a string of pearls floating above the Red Sea.
For an even more elevated experience, there are the Beachfront Crown Villas or Beachfront Royal Villas located on the private islet of Sheybarah Island, where guests can stay in three-bedroom for four-bedroom villas, ideal for groups and multi-generation families.

The luxury resort provides direct access to an extraordinary marine environment where guests can enjoy diving in some of the most pristine, biodiverse waters in the world.
Red Sea Global says its unrivaled hospitality is rooted in the Saudi tradition of Hafawah – which encapsulates generosity, consideration, and kindness – offering guests unique, timeless, and extraordinary experiences.
“We are immensely proud to open Shebara to the world, yet another remarkable milestone for Red Sea Global and Saudi tourism,” said John Pagano, Group CEO of Red Sea Global.
“This luxury and truly one-of-a-kind resort embodies our commitment to innovative design and sustainable tourism. I am genuinely excited for our first guests to experience the unparalleled beauty and serenity of Shebara, where every detail has been crafted to create unforgettable memories.”Beyond the destination’s natural beauty that surrounds the resort, Shebara invites guests to immerse themselves in luxury, from taking advantage of the premium amenities, including a state-of-the-art Fitness Centre, to experiencing exceptional cuisine, delivered by world-class chefs, such as Michelin starred Marco Garfagnini.
Guests can also enjoy an exceptional nature-inspired spa sanctuary with five luxurious treatment rooms, all while being able to relax and reset, surrounded by sun, sea, and glorious soft, white sand.
Through its leading approach to sustainability, Shebara seamlessly combines its unique architecture – take one-of a kind, stainless-steel orbs, which fade into the horizon as the surface refracts the light – with the island’s natural environment. Home to its own solar farm and an array of integrated utilities, the resort represents everything that Red Sea Global stands for as a responsible developer.
Shebara is a year-round destination with cool summer temperatures. Located 25 kilometres from the mainland, the resort can be reached by a 30 to 40-minute boat ride or a 30-minute seaplane flight from Red Sea International Airport (RSI). This relative isolation provides a sanctuary for those seeking an extraordinary escape into nature and wellness.
Reservations are now open for stays at Shebara and to celebrate its grand debut, the resort is offering all bookings of two consecutive nights, a third night on a complimentary basis.
