Twin segregated wellness complexes featuring dedicated Aquamedic hydrotherapy pools and hammams.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This Park Hyatt is strictly a low-rise affair, with perhaps a more leisurely bent than some of its cousins.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Southern Corniche runs right past the grounds, with the towering plume of King Fahd Fountain rising directly offshore.
The rooms
Rooms have open-plan bathrooms and private balconies, looking out over landscaped gardens or directly across the Red Sea.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
An indoor lap pool is lined with cushioned loungers, and an outdoor pool sits among garden trees.
The hydrotherapy baths
Domed Aquamedic pools use water jets under classic arches, and treatment suites include traditional Moroccan scrubbing hammams.
The gym and courts
Cardio machines face wide windows toward the sea, and outdoor courts host tennis and basketball.
Restaurant
Nafoura
Chefs prepare Mediterranean and Levantine dishes in an open kitchen, with tables looking directly out to the Red Sea.
Restaurant
Andalusia
Moroccan tagines and couscous are served under brick arches, beside tall windows looking out toward the water.
At the table
Guests gather on the waterfront lawn for mocktails and tea, beside lit reflecting pools as the sun sets.
How it began
Architect Patrice Hart and interior designer Gilles Quiffet shaped the resort on reclaimed waterfront once home to the Equestrian Club of Jeddah.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
