The St. Regis Red Sea Resort, , part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio of 31 extraordinary hotel brands, today announces the opening of bookings ahead of its winter opening.

Set to welcome guests from December 2023, the resort is crafted on Ummahat Island amongst a conservation area on the coast of the Red Sea. Accessed by chartered boat or seaplane, the pristine private island is home to white sandy beaches and lush tropical gardens, and is fringed by a thriving coral reef and a vibrant habitat for protected wildlife and flora.

The Red Sea is surrounded by the world’s fourth-largest barrier reef system and spans over 28,000 square kilometres with an archipelago of more than 90 untouched islands, dormant volcanos, sweeping desert dunes, mountain canyons and historical cultural sites. Resort guests will be able to explore one of the world’s little-known natural treasures through an array of water activities including diving, snorkelling, paddle boarding, and kayaking.

The St. Regis Red Sea Resort will feature a collection of 90 spacious beachfront and overwater villas, offering elegant one-to-four-bedroom accommodation, each with a private pool and sundeck. Expertly positioned, the villas will capture the beauty of sunset with vast views across the azure water. The luxurious interiors will pay homage to the surrounding natural landscape by drawing inspiration from wind, water and coral elements.

The resort will embody the brand’s visionary spirit, avant-garde style and bespoke service. Every stay will be enhanced by the renowned St. Regis Butler service and a curated selection of signature rituals designed to transcend the ordinary. In addition, the resort will feature five restaurants offering unique culinary concepts, two outdoor pools, a high-tech fitness centre, a signature spa and children’s club.
