First Look: SLS The Red Sea, Shura Island, Saudi Arabia

Set on Saudi Arabia’s western Red Sea coastline on Shura Island, the kingdom’s first SLS-branded property is a low-rise, design-led beachfront resort by Foster + Partners, framed by sugar-soft sands and coral-rich waters. The 150 keys comprise 117 garden- and sea-view rooms, 18 suites and 15 pool villas, all with floor-to-ceiling windows, private terraces and tactile, art-driven interiors inspired by Saudi culture, with some villas featuring outdoor showers. Five restaurants and bars include the Saudi debut of London-born seafood concept Seabird, Floating World, where Japanese flavours meet theatrical presentation, and Fi’lia, with its acclaimed female-led take on modern Italian dining, while poolside venue The Perch pairs mocktails, small plates and DJ-led soundtracks. Leisure facilities include the island’s largest pool, a spa with single-gender thermal areas featuring hammams and steam rooms, a fitness centre and padel court, outdoor cinema, kids’ and teens’ clubs, and experiences from beachfront yoga to a full spectrum of watersports.
