The 72 Best Hotel Openings of 2024
The St. Regis Red Sea Resort, Ummahat Islands, Saudi Arabia
The LEED-certified St. Regis Red Sea Resort on Saudi Arabia’s Ummahat Island redefines luxury with an eco-conscious approach. Accessible via a short boat ride, the property offers 90 beach and overwater villas, five dining venues, and wellness facilities—all in a pristine setting. Inspired by natural elements, its design reflects wind-sculpted sand and sea forms with soft curves and spiral motifs reflective of architect Kengo Kuma’s vision.
