SLS Hotels & Residences has announced the opening of SLS The Red Sea on Shura Island, positioning the property as a centrepiece of Saudi Arabia’s growing luxury destination on the west coast.

The November launch will introduce 150 rooms, suites, and villas, including 15 signature pool villas designed for privacy and seclusion. Facilities include five restaurants and bars, a spa and fitness centre, a pool, an outdoor cinema, and clubs for children and teenagers. The property also offers direct access to Shura Island’s marina, shopping outlets, and nearby coral reefs.

Dining is a major feature of the resort. London seafood restaurant Seabird makes its Saudi debut alongside Floating World, a concept inspired by Japanese Edo-era traditions. Fi’lia introduces Italian cuisine with a modern approach, while Deluxe offers artisanal coffee and pastries. The Perch provides poolside refreshments, with small plates and mocktails during golden hour.

Leisure and wellness are also a focus. Ciel Spa includes six treatment rooms, an indoor water circuit, an outdoor hydro pool, and dedicated grooming areas. The fitness centre is equipped with the latest technology, while younger guests have access to tailored programmes through the Kids and Teens Club. SLS will also continue its reputation for nightlife with poolside parties hosted by international DJs.

The interiors of the property reflect the brand’s theatrical aesthetic. Signature elements include design features by Saudi contemporary artist Heba Ismail, who has reinterpreted the SLS duck as a cultural motif. Meeting spaces are also available, with private rooms adaptable for business or social occasions.

The resort is accessible from Red Sea International Airport within 20 minutes by boat or seaplane, or 25 minutes by car. Its location places guests within reach of Shura Links, Saudi Arabia’s first island golf course, as well as other Red Sea Global developments.
