Red Sea Global is exploring new financing options, including an initial public offering and real estate investment trusts, as its luxury resorts move closer to full-scale operations, CEO John Pagano told Al-Eqtisadiah.

While no final decision has been made, Pagano noted that the company is capitalizing on strong momentum, with several resorts already open and more set to launch this year.

Shoura Island, the centerpiece of the Red Sea destination, will debut 11 luxury resorts in 2025, operated by global hospitality brands including Rosewood, Four Seasons, Grand Hyatt, EDITION, and Raffles.

Progress is also accelerating at Amaala, the wellness-focused destination where core infrastructure is complete and the first hotels are nearing launch. The project is scheduled to open by year-end, featuring brands such as Jayasom, Six Senses, Rosewood, Equinox, and Clinique La Prairie.

So far, six resorts have opened under the Red Sea brand, including Desert Rock and Shebara, which are fully owned and operated by Red Sea Global. The exclusive Thuwal Private Retreat has also been unveiled as the company’s third destination.

In addition, Red Sea Global has rolled out residential offerings on Shoura and Ummhat islands, while announcing Lahak Island earlier this year—attracting strong domestic and international investor interest.
