Saudi’s tourism transformation is expanding the country’s visitor offering beyond its well-known cultural and heritage attractions. As new coastal destinations open to international travellers, the Saudi Red Sea Coast is becoming an increasingly important part of Saudi’s tourism story.
Combining luxury maritime experiences with pristine natural beauty, Bayadah Island and Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina offer visitors a unique opportunity to experience a different side of Saudi, one defined by crystal-clear waters, world-class hospitality and unforgettable coastal adventures, within easy reach of Jeddah.
The destination’s pristine waters, soft white sandbanks and thriving coral reefs define a coastal experience that feels both untouched and surprisingly within reach.
Just off the coast, Bayadah Island brings this to life, a place where time is spent moving between snorkelling over reefs, swimming in warm waters and gliding across the surface by kayak or paddleboard.
Accessible by boat from Jeddah, Bayadah Island offers visitors the chance to snorkel among colourful coral reefs, swim in warm waters and spot an abundance of marine life. Kayaking, paddleboarding and private boat excursions have also become increasingly popular ways to experience the island’s natural beauty, offering a peaceful contrast to the energy of Saudi’s second-largest city.
The island forms part of a wider story unfolding along Saudi’s Red Sea coastline, where marine tourism is becoming one of the country’s fastest-growing visitor experiences. Located on Jeddah’s vibrant waterfront, Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina has quickly established itself as a premier gateway to The Saudi Red Sea. Home to luxury yachts, waterfront dining and sophisticated leisure facilities, the marina reflects Saudi’s growing position as an international destination for luxury travel and maritime tourism.
