Rosewood Red Sea
- Location: Shura Island, Saudi Arabia
- Why it’s notable: Part of The Red Sea development, Rosewood Red Sea will sit on the main hub island of Shura — one of 92 in the archipelago — with a marina, golf course, and luxury retail planned nearby. It’s the brand’s first property in Saudi Arabia and one of the first resorts travelers will be able to book in this still-developing part of the country.
- Type of traveler who will love this hotel: Rosewood loyalists and travelers with deep pockets who want to be among the first to check out the development.
- What’s nearby: Shura sits within one of the largest reef systems in the world, where calm waters make it easy to spend a day sailing, diving, or windsurfing between islands and rarely visited coral shelves.
- Opening: Late 2026
