Shebara Resort, Sheybarah Island, Saudi Arabia
Perched on Sheybarah Island in the Red Sea, Shebara Resort offers a visionary style across 73 villas. There are beachfront options that integrate with the soft white sand and native landscaping, and futuristic orb-shaped stainless steel overwater accommodations resembling a string of pearls that appear to rise from the water’s surface while reflecting the horizon. Five restaurants round out the sustainably minded property, each of which take cues from the region’s flora and fauna.
