Five New Resorts Are Coming to Saudi's Red Sea Destination AMAALA

The northwestern coast of Saudi Arabia has been in development for a while now, and this month, it gets a little closer to what its backers have been promising. Red Sea Global (RSG), the Public Investment Fund-backed developer, is opening five new resorts at AMAALA, its ultra-luxury sustainable destination where the Hijaz Mountains meet the Red Sea, this April 2026.

Bringing the total to eleven properties in a destination that only started welcoming guests six months ago, the five new openings are part of a rollout that will see three more resorts before the end of the year. By December, RSG expects to have twenty-seven properties across AMAALA and its sibling project, The Red Sea, which sits about 500 kilometers south. The Red Sea project itself has sixteen resorts planned, with eleven already open.

Nowadays, getting there is becoming easier. The Red Sea International Airport is now handling around sixteen flights a week, with daily services from Riyadh and three weekly from Jeddah. International routes have also landed: Doha, Dubai, and Milan.
