Focusing on sports, fitness and lifestyle, Equinox Resort Amaala designed by Foster + Partners will be located in one of the world’s most well-preserved natural environments — Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea.
The hotel collaboration between Equinox and RSG will feature 128 rooms, two opulent penthouses and a slew of amenities such as a magnesium salt rooftop pool, spa, beach club and a signature Equinox Fitness Club.
Equinox Resort Amaala is Equinox’s third hotel project and will be the latest hotel brand announced for the Amaala land and property megaproject that is expected to be completed in 2027.
Equinox Hotels CEO Christopher Norton said: “Amaala is a destination that perfectly aligns with our mission of redefining luxury hospitality. Our highly differentiated resort offering will provide guests an unparalleled experience that only a brand like Equinox can deliver. We’re excited to partner with an amazing developer like Red Sea Global that has similar and strong values rooted in sustainability.”
Managed by RSG, Amaala is a 4,155 square kilometre wellness destination that will consist of 3,900 hotel rooms across 29 hotels, 1,200 luxury apartments, villas and estate homes, 200 luxury and a modern Marine Life Institute once it’s completed.
Red Sea Global Group CEO John Pagano said: “Amaala brings the best in health and wellness together in an area of extraordinary natural beauty to offer exceptional and transformative experiences for guests. Equinox’s unique brand of luxury and fitness is a fantastic fit, allowing visitors to choose seeking self-improvement during their stay, getting back to nature on land or at sea, or simply enjoying quiet moments with loved ones in comfort and privacy.”
This megaproject consists of three communities — Triple Bay, The Coastal Development and The Island.
The first phase of the project, which focuses on Triple Bay, commenced in 2018 and is scheduled to open to the public by the middle of 2024.
Amaala will function as an all-year-round tourist destination, featuring pristine terraine, diverse natural ecosystems and engaging events throughout the whole year.
