Red Sea Global (RSG) has announced the opening of a beachfront resort: Six Senses AMAALA. Located on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast, the property will welcome its first guests from mid-July 2026. The opening marks another step in AMAALA’s rise as a wellness destination. Furthermore, it deepens the growing partnership between RSG and the Six Senses brand.
What is Six Senses AMAALA?
Six Senses AMAALA is a village-inspired resort set within dramatic coastal scenery. The design draws on traditional Saudi coastal architecture, so the buildings sit naturally within the landscape. Beaches, mangroves and desert mountains frame the resort, while a clifftop centrepiece known as the Mesa crowns the site. It is the second Six Senses resort in RSG’s portfolio, following Six Senses Southern Dunes, The Red Sea, which opened in 2023. Together, the two properties show how closely the developer and the brand now work.

Where is Six Senses AMAALA located?
The resort sits within Triple Bay, at the heart of the AMAALA destination on Saudi Arabia’s north-western Red Sea coast. AMAALA spans more than 4,144 square kilometres of protected coastline. Around it lie soaring cliffs, sheltered bays, pristine beaches and mountainous desert. Because the setting is a nature reserve, the surrounding reefs and mangroves stay central to the experience. Guests therefore wake to a landscape shaped by conservation as much as by design.

What accommodation does Six Senses AMAALA offer?
Six Senses AMAALA offers 100 suites and villas alongside 25 branded residences. Guests can choose pool suites or villas with one to four bedrooms, and larger residences suit families or groups. Each space uses locally sourced materials, so the interiors echo the character of traditional Saudi coastal communities. Calming tones, natural wood and layered textiles run throughout. As a result, the rooms feel restful and firmly rooted in place.
What wellness facilities are at Six Senses AMAALA?
Wellness sits at the core of the resort. A dedicated Six Senses Spa anchors the offering and houses a Longevity Centre, a Biohacking Recovery Lounge, a Watsu pool, a sound dome, and thermal facilities. Separate thermal areas add saunas, a salt room and vitality pools. Beyond the treatments, guests can join daily yoga and fitness classes or follow multi-day programmes. The spa also blends advanced technology with holistic care, so recovery and longevity go hand in hand.

What can guests eat at Six Senses AMAALA?
Dining follows the Eat With Six Senses philosophy, featuring fresh, made-from-scratch dishes. Three signature restaurants lead the line-up. Joud serves all-day Mediterranean and Middle Eastern plates, while Soraya crowns the Mesa with Japanese precision and Latin American flavour. A relaxed Beach Shack rounds out the trio. Alongside these, an artisan bakery, a coffee roastery and a cooking school give guests more ways to taste the region. A non-alcoholic drinks programme also runs throughout, featuring fermented drinks, botanical infusions and probiotic tonics.
How does nature shape a stay at Six Senses AMAALA?
Nature runs through every part of the resort. A mangrove lagoon sits at its heart, and environmental projects such as the Earth Lab and the Junior Mangrove Ecologist programme support it. These initiatives let guests, and younger visitors in particular, learn about the local ecosystems first-hand. Meanwhile, the wider destination draws all of its power from renewable energy. AMAALA also aims for a 30 per cent net conservation benefit by 2040, so sustainability shapes the stay rather than sitting to one side.

What else can guests do at AMAALA?
Beyond the resort, Six Senses AMAALA opens onto the wider destination. Guests can reach the Corallium Marine Life Institute, the AMAALA Yacht Club, marine adventures and desert activities. A growing collection of retail and dining venues sits nearby, too. In time, AMAALA Triple Bay will hold more than 1,600 hotel rooms across nine resorts. Six more will open through the year, so the area is fast becoming one of the world’s largest clusters of luxury wellness hospitality.
Why does Six Senses AMAALA matter for Saudi tourism?
The opening feeds directly into Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 plan. RSG is helping to diversify the national economy, create jobs and position the Kingdom as a leading tourism destination. Wellness travel plays an increasingly important role in that ambition, and AMAALA aims to sit at its centre. As the destination takes shape, Six Senses AMAALA gives it an early flagship. For travellers, meanwhile, it offers a fresh reason to look towards the Red Sea.
