Six Senses Amaala: A luxury resort experience soon to debut in Saudi Arabia

The 64 rooms, six suites, 30 villas, and 25 branded residences at Six Senses Amaala, designed by architects U+A and interiors by Studio Carter, are inspired by the region’s traditional coastal villages, which seamlessly integrate with the naturally occurring topography and use locally sourced materials.

The central feature of the site is the dramatic Mesa, featuring spectacular overhangs and caves. To the north, the village opens onto the long sweeping beaches of Hijaz Cove, home to a beach restaurant, family pool, and branded residences. To the south, the village leads around the point to natural rock pools, pocket beaches, and a mangrove boardwalk to access the spa, which will set up home in a private cove.  

“We are connected by a shared commitment to the practice, appreciation, and advancement of arts and culture, wellness, and environmental preservation,” says Six Senses CEO Neil Jacobs. “Six Senses Amaala is part of a holistic hub for the arts, a leading diving destination, an extension of the Mediterranean yachting corridors, and an integrated wellness community, all of which we hope inspires guests to embark on transformative personal journeys.” 

John Pagano, Group CEO of Red Sea Global, the developer behind Amaala, adds, “Our growing relationship with the Six Senses brand across our expanding portfolio reflects our belief in the quality of operations they bring to every property, and our shared commitment to protecting and enhancing the environment.”
