Red Sea Global Unveils a Buy-Out Only Island Escape Offering Unmatched Privacy and Personalized Experiences
Red Sea Global (RSG) has introduced Thuwal Private Retreat, a one-of-a-kind, ultra-luxurious private island getaway, set to welcome guests next year. This exclusive, buy-out-only retreat is designed for travelers seeking absolute privacy, bespoke experiences, and seamless luxury in one of the most stunning locations along Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast.
Nestled on a 1.7-hectare sandy islet in a breathtaking coral archipelago, Thuwal Private Retreat blends serene natural beauty with elegant, understated architecture, offering guests an unparalleled escape from the world.
A Haven of Seclusion and Luxury
The island retreat features a sprawling three-bedroom main villa, complemented by three one-bedroom suites, providing the perfect balance of spacious living and intimate privacy. Guests can indulge in a beach club, a fully equipped gym, and a wellness center, all designed to create a tranquil, rejuvenating experience. From the moment of arrival at the private jetty, guests will be welcomed by a dedicated experience team in an exclusive setting that redefines personal luxury.
“Thuwal Private Retreat has been created to allow guests the chance to disconnect from the stresses of daily life, and instead reconnect with their closest companions. Our belief is that the sublime Red Sea coast combined with tailored luxury experiences will deliver a peerless escape for the most discerning travelers,” said John Pagano, Group CEO of Red Sea Global.
A Pioneering First for Red Sea Global
Thuwal Private Retreat marks a major milestone for RSG’s expanding portfolio, as it stands apart from The Red Sea and Amaala projects. For the first time, Red Sea Global will fully own and operate the retreat independently, without any third-party hospitality operators.
“This is a milestone for us personally. It is the latest project we can reveal since we announced our expanded portfolio of projects last year and it is significantly advanced in terms of delivery. It is also the first time we are creating a destination owned and operated end-to-end by the expert team here at Red Sea Global, from development and planning to accommodation and guest services,” added Mr. Pagano.
Luxury with a Sustainable Vision
Staying true to Red Sea Global’s commitment to sustainability, Thuwal Private Retreat seamlessly integrates luxury with eco-conscious practices. The executive chef will source fresh ingredients from local suppliers, supporting Saudi producers and bringing authentic flavors to the dining experience. Local artisans and restaurants will also play a key role in delivering unique cultural and culinary moments for guests.
In addition, RSG is actively hiring local talent, creating new opportunities for Saudis eager to establish careers in the luxury hospitality and concierge industry. From butlers and fine dining specialists to high-level technical and service experts, the retreat is building a team of world-class professionals, with ambitious Saudis working alongside international hospitality leaders to become the next generation of industry pioneers.
Exclusive Experiences, Elevated to Perfection
Thuwal Private Retreat caters to the growing demand for ultra-personalized luxury. According to Black Tomato, a leading luxury travel company, there has been a 61% increase in inquiries for exclusive-use properties, as high-net-worth travelers seek privacy and customization in their experiences.
Guests at Thuwal Private Retreat can expect an island sanctuary where every detail is carefully curated to meet their needs before they even arise. Whether it’s exploring the vibrant coral reefs through guided snorkeling experiences, immersing in Saudi culture with a visit to the nearby village of Thuwal, or taking a private excursion to Jeddah, the retreat ensures a seamless, tailored experience for every guest.
Expanding Saudi’s Travel and Aviation Landscape
Beyond Thuwal Private Retreat, Red Sea Global is making significant strides in enhancing Saudi Arabia’s travel infrastructure. Earlier this month, RSG announced its role in the modernization of Al Wajh Airport (EJH), upgrading its facilities and constructing a new international terminal to improve connectivity and expand job opportunities for local communities.
With these advancements, Red Sea Global is solidifying Saudi Arabia’s position as a world-class luxury travel and hospitality destination while ensuring economic growth and job creation for future generations.
