SAUDI ARABIA | AUGUST 18, 2026 – Rosewood AMAALA opens in Triple Bay, Saudi Arabia's new wellness destination on the northwestern Red Sea coast, where the Tabuk mountains meet the world's fourth-largest barrier reef. It marks Rosewood's arrival on a coastline only now open to travelers, offering access to a remarkable part of the Red Sea that has remained largely unexplored until now.

Designed by ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, with interiors by Tristan Auer, the resort spans 40 hectares and features 110 pool villas, a transformative well-being experience at Asaya, and eight restaurants and lounges celebrating the flavors and traditions of Saudi Arabia.

“The opening of Rosewood AMAALA marks an important milestone for Rosewood as we introduce our first resort in Saudi Arabia. As we continue expanding into some of the world's most compelling destinations, we remain committed to creating experiences that celebrate the individuality of each place while fostering authentic connections with local communities and culture. Rosewood AMAALA reflects our philosophy of Relationship Hospitality through Saudi Arabia’s extraordinary heritage, natural beauty and spirit of discovery.”

LUCA FINARDI, VICE PRESIDENT, OPERATIONS, EMEA

A SAUDI RIVIERA OF RENEWAL

At Rosewood AMAALA, the Red Sea sets the rhythm of each day. Mornings begin early and unhurried, with sunrise yoga while the coast is still cool. By midday, Asaya offers quiet renewal, where treatments are guided by skilled touch and artistry becomes part of the practice. As the light softens, guests gather for Sukūn Hour, the resort’s shared pause at day’s end. Here, renewal is woven into the day itself.

“Everything here begins with the Red Sea. It sets the pace of the day, shapes our wellness rituals, inspires the food we cook and the way we receive guests. Together with the warmth of Saudi hospitality, it creates a sense of place that invites guests to slow down, discover, and renew in their own time.”

GERALD CHEVASSON, MANAGING DIRECTOR, ROSEWOOD AMAALA

Across 40 hectares, accommodations at Rosewood AMAALA all look out towards the Red Sea, each designed with a private pool, a sand-lined terrace and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Pavilions are positioned along the Northern Reef and accommodate families, while Suites offer a more intimate retreat for couples. From the One-Bedroom Villas onwards, accommodations include full kitchens, outdoor barbecue areas and dedicated butler service, with private chef experiences available upon request.

Family Villas feature multiple terraces and pools, while the Royal Villas offer landscaped courtyards and enhanced privacy. Within Asaya, three exclusive Lodges each feature a private garden and treatment room, designed for immersive well-being stays of five nights or more that combine personalized treatments, dining experiences and tailored wellness programs.

Accommodation is available in two settings: Sea View, overlooking the Red Sea from within the resort, and Sea Front, positioned directly along the shoreline for a heightened sense of privacy and connection to the coast.

ASAYA: THE ART OF WELL-BEING

Asaya takes the form of an artist's retreat at Rosewood AMAALA, where treatments draw on Saudi healing traditions and the restorative rhythm of the coast. Guests can learn the ancient art of Sadu weaving, calligraphy and the healing powers of sound; the making is the treatment as much as the bodywork that follows.

Across 2,100 square meters, Asaya holds six treatment rooms and a double suite, a private hammam, and wet areas for men and women with sauna, steam and experience showers. Two fitness centers are equipped with Technogym Artis, one of them for women alone, alongside studios for yoga and movement. Social House is a private day spa within Asaya, booked by one group for the day, where families stay together and friends mark an occasion in a space of their own.

Treatments are delivered by Asaya's Wellness Artisans, practitioners whose work reads and restores the body through bodywork, facial sculpting, movement and sound. A daily program runs alongside them, from sunrise and aerial yoga to breathwork and ecology walks.

A CULINARY EXPRESSION OF PLACE

Dining at Rosewood AMAALA is shaped by Saudi Arabia's culinary traditions and by the influences carried to this coast over centuries of exchange. Eight restaurants and lounges each capture the destination differently, guided by seasonality, provenance and craftsmanship.

Olea draws on the coastal cultures of Italy, Spain and Greece, with kitchens separated by geography yet united by olive oil. At its entrance, a six-meter olive tree pays homage to the historic trade routes that once carried oil, spice and ideas between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. Saha brings people together in a series of pavilions arranged like a village gathering place, where progressive Middle Eastern cuisine is served through a menu of shared plates inspired by the region's rich culinary heritage and craftsmanship. The Grill Bar & Restaurant cooks over wood and charcoal, treating meat, local seafood and vegetables with equal care, before transitioning into a lounge as evening unfolds. Puro Cove Club anchors the shoreline with ceviche’s, crudos and the relaxed rhythm of a day spent by the water.

Wadi Library is the cultural heart of the resort, its shelves carrying local literature and its afternoons given to craft. The Pool Lounge brings a social energy to all-day dining beside the resort's largest pool, sand-bordered with a sloping entry to the water, while the Pool Bar is its quieter counterpart, with personal sunbed service. At Asaya Lounge, conscious cuisine and botanical beverages carry the well-being thread throughout the day.

SIGNATURE EXPERIENCES

Sukūn is the Arabic word for stillness. Each day as the light turns, Sukūn Hour opens to every guest at the resort, held in a different place each time: Saudi coffee poured at Wadi Library, breathwork beneath the observatory halos at Saha or an intention ritual under the six-meter olive tree at Olea. The hour marks the turn of the day and sets the evening in motion. Dining extends beyond the resort's restaurants to private tables set throughout the property and on villa terraces, where barbecue kitchens set stages for evenings with a private chef.

At the Arabian Apothecary, guests work with local herbs and the healing traditions of the region to make botanical remedies of their own. Movement runs through the resort, with guided routes for runners and AMAALA's Wellness Route reaching into the destination beyond.

Younger guests discover a world of their own at Rosewood Explorers, with a dedicated club and pool, and a daily program for ages four to twelve. Children uncover the wonders of AMAALA through reef-inspired activities, environmental storytelling and hands-on experiences rooted in Saudi culture and craft.

RESTORATIVE BY DESIGN

AMAALA is guided by a vision for regenerative tourism, powered by more than 406,000 solar panels alongside one of the world's largest battery storage systems, supplying renewable energy day and night. Electric-only vehicles move guests and goods across the destination, while native landscaping and careful water conservation support the environment around them.

At Rosewood AMAALA, regeneration is embedded throughout the resort's design and operations. Renewable energy powers the property, pools are sanitized without chemicals, and Rock Pools are integrated into the sea to allow close engagement with the reef while minimizing impact on the natural environment.

Offshore lies one of the world's richest marine environments, part of the world's fourth-largest barrier reef, where Red Sea Global has documented the largest coral colony recorded in the Red Sea. Coral conservation runs through Corallium, the destinations Marine Life Institute, bringing together research, conservation and public learning.

The commitment extends to the people and the region around it. Saudi associates are recruited and trained across every department, kitchens work with producers in the Kingdom, and the craft practiced at Wadi Library is drawn from makers of the region.

Rosewood AMAALA is open for stays from August 18, 2026, with rates from SAR 4,000 per night. The resort is reached via Red Sea International Airport or Al Wajh International Airport, with transfers coordinated through Red Sea Global Mobility. Arrival by seaplane, private aviation or the AMAALA marina can also be arranged.
