Shebara: A Sustainable Luxury Escape at Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea

Shebara, the fourth resort to debut at The Red Sea, represents a significant milestone for Saudi tourism and sustainable luxury. As the first property owned and operated by Red Sea Global (RSG), this exclusive resort on Shaybara Island combines cutting-edge design, environmental innovation, and the warmth of Saudi Arabian hospitality traditions.

Shebara’s 73 villas, featuring 38 overwater and 35 beachfront accommodations, redefine luxury. The standout stainless-steel orb villas appear to float on water, creating a mesmerizing illusion as sunlight refracts on their surfaces. Beyond aesthetics, the resort exemplifies sustainability as a LEED-Platinum property, fully powered by solar energy and utilizing a solar-powered desalination plant for fresh water. Waste is recycled on-site, reducing its environmental footprint.

The resort offers a world-class dining experience with five restaurants, including:

iki.roe: Serving refined Japanese-Nikkei cuisine.

Ariamare: Featuring Mediterranean dishes crafted by Michelin-starred chef Marco Garfagnini.

Lunara: An international brasserie.

Saria Pool Bar & Grill: Inspired by Levantine flavors.

Solera: An adults-only poolside venue specializing in mocktails.

Guests can also indulge in a nature-inspired spa, enjoy family and adults-only pools, or explore the pristine waters through diving and water expeditions.

Shebara weaves the Saudi tradition of hafawah—generosity and kindness—into every guest experience. Visitors can access the resort through the newly operational Red Sea International Airport (RSI), offering domestic and international flights. From the airport, Shebara is just a 30-minute seaplane flight or a short boat ride away.

To celebrate its opening, Shebara offers an introductory deal: enjoy a complimentary third night with every two-night booking for a limited time.

Shebara is more than a resort; it’s a destination where luxury, sustainability, and cultural authenticity converge, setting a new standard for tourism in the Middle East.
