A new destination on the Red Sea
AMAALA is developed by Red Sea Global and forms part of Saudi Arabia’s investment in new destinations along the Red Sea.
The aim is to create a destination where luxury, health, nature and sustainability meet.
Rather than large, densely built tourist areas, AMAALA is planned around low-density development with careful attention to its surrounding landscape.
The Red Sea, mountains, wellness experiences and exclusive resorts take centre stage.
For Scandinavian travellers seeking something beyond a traditional beach holiday, AMAALA could become one of Saudi Arabia’s most interesting destinations.
Why visit AMAALA?
The Red Sea
Clear water, coral reefs and marine experiences make the area appealing for snorkelling, diving, sailing and boating.
Luxury
AMAALA focuses on the upper end of the travel market, with exclusive resorts, villas and high standards of service.
Nature
Coast, desert, mountains and sea come together in a dramatic landscape unlike many traditional resort areas.
Peace
Low-density development and a wellness focus make AMAALA particularly appealing to travellers seeking relaxation and a slower pace.
THE HEART OF AMAALA
Triple Bay
Triple Bay is one of AMAALA’s central areas. It brings together several resorts, wellness concepts, a marina, yacht club and marine experiences.
The landscape combines clear Red Sea water with mountains and natural bays. Triple Bay is developed to offer a more exclusive, peaceful experience than traditional large holiday towns.

- Kayaking

Availability depends on the resort, season and provider.
AMAALA Yacht Club
AMAALA Yacht Club is central to the destination’s marine identity. Located in Marina Village, it is developed for sailing, yachting and social experiences by the Red Sea.
Red Sea Global describes AMAALA Marina as part of the Yacht Club in 2026. Access to the club, marina and activities must be arranged separately; a resort stay does not automatically include full club access.
Corallium Marine Life Institute
Corallium Marine Life Institute is planned as an important part of AMAALA’s work in marine research, education and conservation.
The aim is to help visitors understand Red Sea ecosystems while supporting research and conservation. Public visitor access is not confirmed in the sources we checked. Check availability and opening hours before travelling.
Developed with nature at its heart
AMAALA has a strong sustainability and regenerative tourism profile. Red Sea Global states that the destination is powered by 100 per cent renewable energy, with conservation, water management and marine protection central to the project.
Only a limited part of the total area is intended for development, helping preserve the landscape around the resorts. These are the developer’s statements about the project, not independent environmental certification of an individual hotel.
When is the best time to visit AMAALA?
For most Scandinavian travellers, October to April is likely to be the most comfortable period. Temperatures are generally more pleasant for beaches, outdoor activities, sailing, wellness, excursions and outdoor dining.
Summer can be very hot. Consider coastal heat and humidity when planning activities.

We find the area especially interesting for honeymoons, couples’ holidays and as the final stop on a tour of Saudi Arabia.
A combination with AlUla, for example, offers a wonderfully varied trip – history and desert first, followed by relaxing days on the Red Sea.
