Red Sea Global (RSG) has announced a new exclusive island destination located on the Red Sea coast – Thuwal Private Retreat.
Set to open its doors to guests next year, the island destination – developed by Red Sea Global – offers a secluded and luxurious experience on a 1.7-hectare sandy islet within a stunning coral archipelago.
The island resort features a spacious main three-bedroom villa, three one-bedroom suites, a beach club, gym, and wellness centre.
Guests will be greeted by a dedicated guest experience team upon arrival, and the curated travel experience aims to provide a tranquil escape from the stresses of daily life.
Red Sea Global’s exclusive retreat
“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,” John Pagano, Group CEO of Red Sea Global.
The creation of Thuwal Private Retreat marks a key milestone for Red Sea Global, as it is the first destination owned and operated entirely by the company, without the involvement of third-party hospitality or hotel operators.
Pagano emphasised the advanced stage of delivery for this project and the company’s commitment to developing and managing the destination from start to finish.
“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,” Pagano said.
In line with RSG’s vision of sustainability, Thuwal Private Retreat combines luxury with conscious environmental practices.
The resort’s executive chef will prepare gourmet meals using locally sourced ingredients, and the developer aims to collaborate with local artisans and restaurants to offer unique experiences.
Moreover, the company is actively recruiting from the local community, providing opportunities for ambitious Saudis to enter the luxury and private concierge hospitality industry.
The rising demand for ultra-private and personalized experiences has led to a 61 percent increase in enquiries for exclusive-use properties, according to Black Tomato.
Guests will also have the opportunity to explore the thriving coral reefs and marine wildlife through snorkeling activities, or immerse themselves in Saudi culture and hospitality by visiting the nearby village of Thuwal or the city of Jeddah.
In addition to the development of Thuwal Private Retreat, RSG recently announced its involvement in the refurbishment of Al Wajh Airport (EJH).
The project aims to modernise the airport to meet international standards, including the construction of a new international terminal. This enhancement will improve connectivity and create job opportunities for the local community.
