First Red Sea Resorts will now open later in 2023
The first three resorts at Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea will open later than orginally planned. It was announced in January that the first three hotels would open in May 2023. That date has now been moved closer to the end of the year.
The official line is Six Senses Southern Dunes from IHG will open in the “next few months,” while Nujuma, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve and St. Regis The Red Sea from Marriott have been moved further back.
The change was confirmed by Abdullah AlZahrani, executive director – global brand development and marketing at Red Sea Global.
In a column for the Saudi Gazette, he wrote: “Six Senses Southern Dunes, The Red Sea, will be the first to complete in the coming months, inviting guests to experience the very best of Saudi culture and hospitality. The St. Regis Red Sea Resort and Nujuma, a Ritz Carlton Reserve, will follow later this year at our stunning, remote untouched Ummahat Islands – also home to our WAMA and Galaxea hubs.
“Our flagship destination, The Red Sea, is entering a new phase as we complete our first hotels this year, receive our first domestic flights to the purpose-built Red Sea International Airport, and welcome our first guests to embark on a journey of breathtaking discovery and luxury.”
