The St. Regis Red Sea Resort sits on this pristine private island surrounded by coral reefs, white sand and the kind of warm, clear water that seems to belong to another world. This May, the resort’s spa welcomes AMRA for an exclusive five-day residency, bringing some of the most thoughtful skincare treatments with leading therapists, to one of the most beautiful settings on earth.
AMRA likes to take skincare seriously. Each treatment is shaped around the individual, curated with the use of gold, diamond and platinum, grounded in genuine skin benefits. The results speak for themselves, and in a setting this peaceful, the whole experience feels both indulgent and deeply restorative.
What makes this residency special is how naturally the two elements sit together. A private island that can only be reached by boat or seaplane, where the days are unhurried and the air smells of salt and sea lavender, is exactly the kind of place where a great skincare treatment reaches its full potential. The surroundings do half the work before the treatment even begins.
Rare ingredients, remarkable results
The AMRA residency brings four signature treatments to The St. Regis Spa, each one carefully designed to leave skin looking and feeling noticeably better. The Cryo Sculpt uses gentle cooling to firm and define the face, while The Ultimate Prescriptive Facial is tailored entirely to the individual, with the therapist selecting products and techniques based on what each guest’s skin actually needs on the day.
The Diamond Digital Detox Facial is designed for those whose skin has taken on the toll of long hours in front of screens, restoring brightness and freshness in a single session. The Platinum Define and Contour Facial uses platinum-rich products to lift and sculpt, with results that are visible straight away. All four treatments draw on precious ingredients including gold, diamond and platinum, chosen for the real benefits they bring to skin health and glow.
A treatment like no other
What sets AMRA apart is the level of thought that goes into each session. No two guests leave with the same experience, because no two guests arrive with the same skin. The therapist takes time to understand what is needed before anything else, and the treatment that follows is genuinely personal. It is the kind of attention that is rare, and that makes a real difference to how the skin responds.
Having a senior AMRA therapist on the island for five days means guests have access to that level of care in a setting that naturally encourages slowing down. The calm of the Red Sea, the warmth of the air and the quiet of a private island all add to the sense that this is time well spent. Wellness, at its best, feels like this.
A Paradise Awaits
The St. Regis Spa offers cold plunge pools, vitality pools and a Yoga Pavilion, and the wider resort gives guests plenty of ways to fill the hours between treatments. Planting mangroves and sea lavender along the shoreline is a surprisingly grounding way to spend a morning, while an evening bonfire on the beach, with the Red Sea glittering in the firelight, is the kind of simple pleasure that stays with you long after you leave.
Each of the resort’s 90 villas comes with a private pool, and the island itself offers coral reefs, white sandy beaches and water clear enough to see the bottom far below the surface.
Getting here takes a little effort, whether by chartered boat skimming across the shallows or by seaplane with the reef laid out beneath, but arriving feels like a reward in itself. By the time Ummahat Island comes into view, the rest of the world already feels a long way away.
The AMRA residency takes place from 27 to 31 May 2026, with all four treatments available to book through The St. Regis Spa. Availability is limited to the five days of the residency, with a single lead therapist on-site, so securing a preferred time early is advisable.
