Opening this month, Rixos Murjana is set along the Red Sea coast, offering a mix of leisure, wellness and entertainment under one mega roof.

Guests can splash in the waterpark, unwind at the award-winning spa, enjoy the country’s best-equipped kids and teens clubs and of course pick a different dining destination every night – all without hailing a taxi.

This stretch of Saudi Arabia’s west coast was once known mainly for its dramatic coastline and desert vistas. But today it is rapidly evolving into a global travel playground, with a wave of luxury resorts, cultural projects and eco-minded developments redefining what a Red Sea escape can be.

The resort features 488 rooms and suites (many with stunning sea views) alongside 33 villas. And for those seeking heightened privacy, Club Privé by Rixos offers ultra-exclusive villas complete with your very own butler overlooking either landscaped gardens or the turquoise waters of the Red Sea.
