Set along the white sand shores of Shura Island on Saudi Arabia’s western coastline, EDITION reveals its second gem in the country with the opening of The Red Sea EDITION, following its category-defining debut in Jeddah last year. Synonymous with redefining the codes of traditional luxury, the newest EDITION unlocks the wonders of The Red Sea as the premiere hotel to launch on the pristine island and embodies the country’s visionary roadmap.
The Red Sea EDITION is nestled along a kilometre of private beachfront with sweeping, uninterpreted views across The Red Sea’s turquoise waters and the lush greenery of Shura Links, Saudi Arabia’s first 18-hole island golf course designed by world-renowned golf architect Brian Curley. Once complete, Shura Island will be home to a collection of world-class resorts, marinas, entertainment, dining and leisure facilities, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 to position the country as a global hub for luxury tourism and regenerative development. This extraordinary location is part of an archipelago of 90 untouched islands, fringed by the world’s fourth-largest barrier reef and home to flourishing coral gardens, crystalline lagoons, and thriving marine life.
The Red Sea EDITION represents an exceptional collaboration between Marriott International, EDITION Hotels and Red Sea Global (RSG), the pioneering developer committed to shaping the future of travel through a regenerative approach balancing ecological protection and enhancement with world-class guest experiences. RSG’s vision underpins every detail of the resort, from its 100% solar-powered infrastructure to its integration within one of the world’s most ecologically ambitious hospitality projects.
“The opening of The Red Sea EDITION marks a significant milestone in the brand’s continued growth across the region and deepens its commitment to delivering experiences that transcend conventional luxury,” says George Fleck, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader, EDITION. “As our second property in Saudi Arabia, this resort embodies the EDITION ethos of crafting highly personalised spaces that feel attuned to their environment. EDITION remains committed to redefining luxury through authenticity, contemporary design, and the brand’s signature intuitive service to create a destination that truly resonates with today’s discerning traveller.”
“Opening The Red Sea EDITION represents a major milestone for the destination as it marks the launch of Shura Island which is the cornerstone development of The Red Sea. We are poised to redefine luxury hospitality in the region through world-class facilities and the distinctive EDITION style and sophistication in our service offering. We are incredibly proud to have this honour of being the first official opening on the island and look forward to building on our unique luxury lifestyle heritage that is synonymous with the EDITION brand globally,” says Tony Coveney, Area General Manager for Marriott Luxury Group, The Red Sea.
