Red Sea Global (RSG) receives prestigious Mostadam Diamond Certification for Turtle Bay Hotel

Saudi Arabia's Red Sea Global (RSG) has achieved a significant milestone by receiving the prestigious Mostadam Diamond Certification for its flagship Turtle Bay Hotel, making it the first real estate company in Saudi Arabia to attain this recognition. The award was presented under the auspices of Minister of Municipal, Rural Affairs and Housing, Majid bin Abdullah bin Hamad Al Hoqail, in acknowledgment of RSG's steadfast commitment to sustainability and environmentally friendly construction practices. This commitment encompasses energy efficiency, renewable energy adoption, water conservation, improved connectivity, enhanced well-being, and integrated construction waste management.

Turtle Bay Hotel, which boasts 144 keys arranged in various blocks overlooking the Red Sea, embodies these sustainable principles.

Mostadam, with its expertise and guidance, plays a pivotal role in fostering vibrant and sustainable communities within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. RSG has collaborated closely with the Ministry of Municipal, Rural Affairs and Housing to help formulate the innovative Mostadam criteria. Together, they are spearheading the development of sustainable and ecologically responsible communities, setting the stage for a more environmentally friendly housing sector for both present and future generations.

John Pagano, CEO of RSG Group, emphasized their consistent commitment to sustainable practices throughout their projects, from initial design to daily operations. They have chosen to power their developments using 100% renewable energy sources and have integrated state-of-the-art waste management systems into their infrastructure. This certification serves as a testament to their unwavering dedication to sustainability, regenerative tourism development, and environmental stewardship.

RSG has gone the extra mile by constructing five solar farms, enabling the first phase of The Red Sea to operate entirely off-grid, powered exclusively by solar energy, with over 760,000 solar panels in operation. In addition, the group recently announced a multi-utilities concessions agreement for Amaala, with both destinations collectively aiming to reduce one million tons of CO2 emissions annually.

The Red Sea region is also home to the largest landscape nursery in the area, responsible for cultivating approximately four million trees, plants, and shrubs. RSG has further opened a state-of-the-art nursery to care for mangrove seedlings, with plans to plant 50 million mangroves by 2030 in dedicated parks across the destination.

 

Significant progress witnessed at Red Sea Global's Amaala Project

 

The Red Sea will soon welcome guests as the first three hotels open their doors, alongside the inauguration of the Red Sea International Airport for domestic flights. Upon its full completion in 2030, the destination will encompass 50 resorts offering up to 8,000 hotel rooms and over 1,000 residential properties across 22 islands and six inland sites. The development will also feature luxury marinas, golf courses, entertainment, dining, and leisure facilities.

Phase One of Amaala, focusing on the Triple Bay masterplan, is well underway, with the first guests expected in early 2025. This phase will comprise eight resorts, offering more than 1,200 hotel keys. Upon completion, Amaala in Saudi Arabia will feature over 3,900 hotel rooms across 29 hotels, alongside approximately 1,200 luxury residential villas, apartments, and estate homes, supporting high-end retail, fine dining, wellness, and recreational amenities.
