EDITION unveils its immersive design vision inspired by the geology of the Red Sea and brought to life by the Rockwell Group and in keeping with Foster + Partner’s masterplan for Shura Island.
As the first resort to open on Shura Island, the vibrant heart of Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea destination, The Red Sea EDITION introduces a new era of luxury to the Kingdom’s flagship regenerative tourism development. Bringing EDITION’s signature blend of sophisticated design, destination dining and social energy to one of the world’s most forward-thinking destinations, the beachfront resort reflects the brand’s approach to creating hotels that capture the spirit and sense of place of their destination.
Designed by internationally acclaimed Rockwell Group, the 240-key hotel draws inspiration from the natural landscapes of the Red Sea. Influenced by the journey from rock to sand to sea, interiors incorporate coral stone, rammed earth, natural oak and woven textures, creating a seamless connection between the hotel and its surroundings.
Developed as part of Foster + Partners’ masterplan for Shura Island, the resort comprises 240 guestrooms, including 53 suites, housed within a collection of beachfront and golf-facing pavilions. Reflecting the island’s natural environment, distinctive shell-inspired rooftops and low-rise architecture ensure the property sits harmoniously within the landscape.
As with every EDITION hotel, dining and social experiences sit at the heart of the guest journey. Spaces including The Lobby, Jiwa Terrace and JIWA Beach Club provide vibrant settings to gather and connect, while the highly anticipated opening of specialty restaurant ANASA in October 2026 will further cement the resort’s position as a leading lifestyle destination within The Red Sea.
Beyond the resort, guests can discover the destination’s extraordinary natural beauty through snorkelling and diving experiences, island-hopping excursions, wellness experiences and desert adventures. Back at the hotel, The Spa and The Gym offer a tranquil retreat overlooking the Red Sea, designed to blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.
The guestrooms, conceived around a ‘sand grain’ concept, use coral stone flooring and natural oak to create a residential feel. Larger suites sit under their own clamshell for ultimate exclusivity and privacy. Rather than relying on obvious regional artwork or motifs, the design uses local materials and references to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that feels personal, intimate and deeply connected to the landscape beyond.
