Exclusive ownership and unmatched experiences in Saudi Arabia’s new icon.
Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind The Red Sea and AMAALA, has unveiled Laheq Island, an extraordinary new residential community at The Red Sea. Laheq is the first island in this transformative project to focus on resort-style living and property ownership, bringing the dream of island life to Saudi Arabia.
The unveiling of Laheq marks the first plans revealed beyond Phase One of The Red Sea, which welcomed its first guests in 2023 and now has five hotels and a bustling international airport. Scheduled to open in 2028, Laheq promises an exceptional lifestyle with private ownership supported by world-class hospitality.

John Pagano, Group CEO of Red Sea Global, stated, “Whether it’s for guests visiting or residents who choose to own a piece of The Red Sea, at Laheq they will experience luxury living with an enriching resort community that brings people together and fosters life-long bonds.”
Set in an archipelago surrounded by the world’s fourth-largest barrier reef, Laheq Island is 400 hectares of white sand beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and crystal-clear waters. Private residences draw inspiration from the island’s natural surroundings, blending luxury and sustainability with beautiful, shaded canopies and elegant garden courtyards.

Laheq offers extensive amenities and activities for residents and guests, including a 115-berth marina, sailing and watersports schools, racket club, fitness center, sports field, an 18-hole golf course, and a bustling souq featuring curated products and essentials. Residents and guests can also indulge in premium beach clubs and dining experiences, showcasing local and international cuisine with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
Two luxury resort hotels will complement the private residences, one focusing on wellness and the other on a vibrant, adventurous lifestyle.
John Pagano added, “To date, we have established our reputation as a developer of regenerative tourism destinations, but we are more than that. We are a vertically integrated real estate developer and operator, creating luxury residences to make Saudi Arabia a top destination to live, work, and travel while driving economic diversification and job growth.”

Foster + Partners, one of the world’s leading architectural firms, led the design of Laheq Island. Their concept, called “Forever Garden,” uses abundant plant life and lush greenery. At the heart of Laheq is “The Ring,” an 800-meter diameter structure with luxury apartments, hotels, and retail, encircling the island’s pristine lagoon.
Norman Foster, Founder and Executive Chairman of Foster + Partners, said, “Our vision is grounded in a deep appreciation for Laheq Island’s outstanding natural beauty. Residents and visitors are invited into a serene garden that engages all the senses and offers panoramic views of the magnificent surroundings.”
Laheq’s development reflects RSG’s dedication to regenerative tourism, enhancing natural surroundings rather than just preserving them. RSG has committed to planting 50 million mangroves and protecting coral habitats, with The Red Sea set to become the world’s largest destination powered entirely by renewable energy.
Upon full completion in 2030, The Red Sea will include 50 resorts, 8,000 hotel rooms, and over 1,000 residential properties across 22 islands and six inland sites, all easily accessible through Red Sea International Airport.
Laheq is a key part of RSG’s growing residential portfolio, managed by Red Sea Residences.
