Foster + Partners designs Equinox Resort Amaala on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea

Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind the world’s most ambitious regenerative tourism destinations, Amaala and The Red Sea, has announced a partnership with Equinox, a global leader in luxury lifestyle brands, to create Equinox Resort Amaala in Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea. The project will be designed by renowned architects, Foster + Partners.

Equinox Resort Amaala is the latest hotel brand to be announced for Red Sea Global’s Amaala, an integrated wellness haven featuring some of the world’s most renowned luxury brands. The hotel, with a focus on sports, fitness and lifestyle, will comprise 128 keys, including two luxury penthouses as well as a suite of amenities such as a signature Equinox Fitness Club. Equinox Resort Amaala is a key part of the Amaala Marina Village and will feature a collection of luxury hotels, villas and condominiums with stunning marina views. The Village, part of the wider Triple Bay development, has been designed to adopt local architecture featuring narrow winding streets perfect for exploration and discovery. The irregular street facades have been orientated to capture and channel breezes, offer shade and protection and filter light, delivering natural climate control to enhance the comfort of guests. The hotel’s prime position provides direct access and views to both the Marina Village on one side, and the pristine Hijaz Cove on the other. The Hotel’s Porte Cochere and its distinctive floating canopy provides a dramatic entrance for guests as they arrive by either boat or car. The hotel itself features four open courtyards, which take inspiration from traditional architecture styles. The shaded courtyards, with the intelligent use of the landscape and water features, naturally cools the air allowing guests to enjoy the resort even during the warmest days. Guest rooms have been carefully planned to capture either the panoramic views of the Hijaz Cove or the marina with its superyachts and the lively marina promenade. Pic Credits : Equinox Holdings, Inc.
