RIYADH: New resorts and attractions, including Saudi Arabia’s first island golf course, are set to open soon at the luxury Shura Island in the Red Sea, the developer said on Monday.
Three hotels — SLS, Edition and InterContinental — and the Shura Links golf course will open to the public within weeks, Red Sea Global said.
“With the soft opening of Shura in the coming weeks, we move closer to achieving our mission to set new standards in regenerative tourism, while realizing Vision 2030,” CEO John Pagano said.
A total of 11 resorts are set to open. The others are: Faena, Fairmont, Four Seasons, Grand Hyatt, Jumeirah, Miraval, Raffles and Rosewood.
The island is accessible by boat, via its own marina, and by electric vehicles along a 3.3 km crossing that incorporates the country’s longest internal bridge.
