Raffles The Red Sea

Raffles The Red Sea is a luxury island resort on Shura Island in Saudi Arabia's Red Sea destination. Red Sea Global announced its opening on October 14, 2026. The property combines 121 rooms, 14 suites and 33 private pool villas, so the accommodation choice ranges from a hotel room to a larger residence. The published opening information does not establish an all-inclusive meal plan; check the inclusions attached to the actual rate you book.

Outdoor space is central to the accommodation. Raffles describes private terraces across the rooms, suites and villas, with many overlooking the lagoon or beachfront. The one- to four-bedroom villa residences include private pools and separate indoor and outdoor living areas. Groups should confirm bedroom layout, occupancy and pool arrangements for their chosen category rather than treating every villa as interchangeable.

Dining spans five venues. Ni'ma serves Eastern Mediterranean food, Siparaja draws on Singaporean and Peranakan traditions, and Anbara focuses on patisserie. El Nay and the Pool Bar & Grill provide further options for refreshments and relaxed dining. Ask which venues need reservations and which meals are covered by your package.

The wellness facilities announced for the property include seven indoor treatment rooms, a hammam, vitality pool and outdoor lap pool. Shura Links golf and the island marina provide nearby alternatives to beach time. Families should ask directly about supervised activities: the hotel's website still describes its Kids & Teens experience as forthcoming as of October 15, 2026. Confirm transfers from Red Sea International Airport with the resort and allow the hotel to explain which facilities and excursions are operating during the opening period.
