Red Sea Global announced the opening of AMAALA Triple Bay during the TOURISE Summit, marking the launch of a wellness destination on Saudi Arabia’s north-western coast.
The destination, located across three bays where the Hijaz Mountains meet the Red Sea, will open in the coming months with six resorts, a yacht club, marine life institute, marina and Marina Village.
“Deriving from the Arabic word for hope, AMAALA offers a new coastal lifestyle rooted in wellness right here in Saudi Arabia. Guests and residents are invited to discover and honor what it means for them to live longer, better, whether that be serene retreats or sea and sun-soaked adventures. Proceeding directly from timeless Saudi traditions of retreat, renewal and connection, AMAALA is the new home for wellness in the world,” John Pagano, Group CEO of Red Sea Global said in a statement.
