Set within one of the world's most ambitious luxury tourism developments amidst an archipelago of over 90 pristine islands, the hotel offers guests sweeping views of the ocean and a discreet barefoot luxury immersed in nature experience.

Each of the resort's 210 sea-facing rooms provides immediate beach access, allowing guests to step out onto the sands of the Red Sea from the terrace. The resort features seven different gastronomic experiences, sprawling pools and recreational facilities, a spa, a health club, and curated meetings and events spaces for leisure, business travellers, and groups.
