Miraval The Red Sea
- Location: Shura Island, Saudi Arabia
- Why it’s notable: Miraval’s first international outpost will open on a 70-acre site — about the size of 50 football fields — on Saudi Arabia’s Shura Island, part of the $20 billion Red Sea Project. The resort will feature nearly 40 treatment rooms, lagoon-facing villas, and workshops covering everything from nutrition to sculpture.
- Type of traveler who will love this hotel: Those who already have this bookmarked in their Amex Centurion travel portal.
- What’s nearby: You’re not walking to anything here — Shura’s other resorts, including Nujuma and Six Senses, are a boat ride away, and reaching AlUla or Jeddah requires a charter. But if you’re considering a stay here, the added logistics are unlikely to strain your budget.
- Opening: Early 2026
