In a much-anticipated announcement, The St. Regis Red Sea Resort has opened its doors for bookings, paving the way for a grand debut in December 2023. Nestled on the picturesque Ummahat Island within a designated conservation enclave along the Red Sea’s coastline, this idyllic retreat offers an unrivalled blend of natural splendour and opulent living.
Accessible exclusively by chartered boat or seaplane, this pristine private island boasts powdery white beaches and verdant tropical gardens, cocooned by a thriving coral reef and a dynamic sanctuary for safeguarded wildlife and flora.
Encompassing an expanse of over 28,000 sqkm, the Red Sea is enveloped by the world’s fourth-largest barrier reef system, encompassing a veritable archipelago of over 90 untouched islands, dormant volcanic formations, sweeping desert dunes, rugged mountain canyons, and vestiges of historical cultural heritage. Guests of the resort will be immersed in the allure of one of the planet’s best-kept natural secrets, with an array of aquatic pursuits such as diving, snorkelling, paddle boarding, and kayaking awaiting their exploration.
The St. Regis Red Sea Resort will unveil an ensemble of 90 generously proportioned villas, ranging from beachfront sanctuaries to overwater retreats, offering an elegant spectrum of one-to-four-bedroom accommodations. Each abode will feature a private pool and expansive sundeck, strategically positioned to capture the awe-inspiring vistas of the cerulean expanse as the sun gracefully dips below the horizon. The interiors, replete with an air of sophistication, will artfully pay homage to the surrounding ecosystem, drawing inspiration from the ethereal interplay of wind, water, and coral elements.
In consonance with the brand’s visionary ethos, avant-garde aesthetic, and personalised service, each sojourn at The St. Regis Red Sea Resort will be elevated by the renowned St. Regis Butler service, and an exclusive array of signature rituals meticulously crafted to transcend the commonplace. Additionally, the resort will play host to an assortment of five distinct dining establishments, each presenting a unique culinary concept. Complementing this epicurean journey, two outdoor pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a distinctive spa, and a children’s club will further enhance the guest experience.
