Thuwal Private Retreat will meet the rising demand for luxury travel in the GCC region

The island resort will feature a large main three-bedroom villa, three one-bedroom suites, a beach club, a gym and a wellness centre.

The curated travel experience will begin as soon as guests arrive, entering via a private jetty to be greeted by the guest experience team at the welcome centre.

The creation of Thuwal Private Retreat represents a new phase for Red Sea Global, with the destination sitting separately to The Red Sea and Amaala, and as a wholly RSG-owned brand. 

Marking a milestone for the developer, there are no third-party hospitality or hotel operators involved for the first time in RSG’s history.

Red Sea Global group CEO John Pagano said: “Thuwal Private Retreat has been created to allow guests the chance to disconnect from the stresses of daily life, and instead reconnect with their closest companions. Our belief is that the sublime Red Sea coast combined with tailored luxury experiences will deliver a peerless escape for the most discerning travellers.”
