What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
an eco-luxe, family-friendly escape offering chic design, high-end comfort, and an unusual degree of openness to the environment.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
On the sands of Shura Island, looking out over the Red Sea causeway and coastal dunes.
The rooms
Accommodations open completely to the dunes through slatted timber screens, with terracotta details and woven canopies that filter the desert sun.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa and pools
A stone-clad hammam sits beneath a fluted dome, and three outdoor pools spread toward the private shoreline.
At the table
Dining rooms open onto seaside terraces, serving Levantine recipes from Al Forn's ovens and plant-forward plates at Sea Green.
How it began
Shura Island was completely uninhabited before the resort arrived, a dolphin-shaped island surrounded by undisturbed mangroves and coral reefs.
