NOW OPEN: Discover Regenerative Luxury Travel and Experiences at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Red Sea at Shura Island

Four Seasons Resort and Residences Red Sea at Shura Island is now open, inviting travellers to experience a place where barefoot luxury, serenity, environmental mindfulness, and land and sea adventures exist in great harmony.

“Shura Island combines a strong commitment to sustainable practices within a luxurious resort destination on an island powered entirely by renewable energy, offering both a sophisticated retreat and a family-friendly gateway to outdoor adventures on land and sea,” says Rainer Stampfer, President, Global Operations, Hotels and Resorts. “Together with our visionary partners at Red Sea Global, we have created something truly exceptional for Four Seasons guests on Saudi Arabia’s west coast.”

Where Desert Meets Sea

Arriving at Shura Island, just a short 25-minute drive from the new Red Sea International Airport (RSI), feels like leaving the world behind. The transition is seamless: electric vehicles travel across the scenic causeway, revealing a landscape where sculpted sand dunes meet crystal-clear waters. Set on the secluded eastern tip and on the island’s longest stretch of beach, Four Seasons unveils the resort as an invitation for guests to explore it through an intimate, conscious connection to nature. A comprehensive sustainability program is embedded throughout the LEED Platinum-certified resort, including the property’s 149 single-storey rooms and suites and 31 Resort Residences, inspired in design by clusters of ancient desert trade caravans with walk-out access to nature. Amenities include six dining options, spanning Levantine, plant-forward, and Mediterranean cuisine, and the lush spa and wellness facilities.

Days of Serenity and Adventure

Life at Shura Island unfolds gently, offering moments of discovery at every turn.

Mornings can begin on the water gliding silently across the Red Sea on a paddleboard or e-foil, or diving beneath the surface on an electric Seabob. For those seeking stillness, kayaking along the shoreline reveals hidden sandbars and uninterrupted views of the sea.

Under the water lies one of the Red Sea’s greatest treasures: guided snorkelling and diving experiences immerse guests into the vibrant colours of one of the world’s largest barrier reef systems, while the resort’s Marine Discovery Centre offers deeper insight into ongoing conservation work and the 200 species endemic to the region. For many, participating in coral or mangrove restoration could become one of the most meaningful experiences of a guest’s stay.

Beyond the shoreline with the Hijazi mountains as the backdrop, adventurous guests can scale the cliffs of Al Sulaie Wadi, descend rock faces in guided abseiling sessions, or soar above valleys on a zipline.

As evening falls, the desert reveals its most magical moments, making stargazing an experience not to be missed.

A Taste of Place

Cuisine at Four Seasons Red Sea is not about indulgence alone; it’s also about connection to the land, to culture, and to wellbeing.

At Sea Green, plant-forward cuisine takes centre stage, with private cooking experiences focused on modern, health-conscious specialties also offered. Elsewhere, guests can learn to make (or simply enjoy) alcohol-free cocktails or explore the rituals and stories behind Saudi Arabia’s coffee culture while learning about various local coffee regions.

Wellness, Rooted in Tradition

The spa experience draws from the elemental essence of the Red Sea—salt, water, coral, and botanicals.

The Red Sea Rejuvenation Massage features warm, herb-infused compresses and incorporates precise pressure-point techniques with flowing, aromatic movements to create a deeply restorative experience. The Hammam Botanical Experience begins with an invigorating peppermint cleanse, followed by black soap application and kessa exfoliation, honouring timeless regional bathing rituals.

Serenity in Doing Nothing

At Shura Island, the greatest luxury is the freedom to leave the world behind and do very little at all.

Days can be spent easily between the resort’s three pools, including an adults-only retreat, and its 1.3 kilometres (almost a mile) of shoreline. Families find their rhythm through curated children’s and teen experiences, while golfers can take advantage of exclusive tee times at Shura Links, the Kingdom’s first island championship course.

“Shura Island offers a wealth of experiences for discerning, conscious travellers seeking memorable holiday experiences across generations through a rare blend of warm Saudi hospitality and signature Four Seasons care,” says General Manager Kai Dieckmann.  “At Four Seasons Resort and Residences Red Sea at Shura Island, luxury is no longer defined by comfort or exclusivity alone, but by connection and contribution to a place as a guiding principle of regenerative tourism. This is a place where travellers arrive as visitors and create meaningful memories anchored on a new and more thoughtful way to explore the world.”
