Red Sea Global officially launches operations at AMAALA
Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Global (RSG) has officially launched operations at its second flagship destination, AMAALA, marking a significant milestone in the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 tourism strategy and the expansion of its luxury regenerative tourism portfolio.
The opening of the Four Seasons Resort and Residences AMAALA at Triple Bay signals the transition of AMAALA from development into an operational destination, welcoming its first guests to the northwestern Red Sea coast. The launch positions AMAALA as a new global hub for ultra-luxury wellness tourism and the first of eight planned resorts expected to open across the destination in 2026.
A milestone for regenerative luxury tourism
RSG described the debut as a key achievement in its broader mission to develop environmentally responsible, high-end tourism destinations.
“The debut of our first resort at AMAALA is a moment of realization for us,” said John Pagano, Group CEO of Red Sea Global. “By delivering this world-class asset to market on schedule, we are demonstrating that regenerative development can combine commercial ambition with meaningful environmental and social impact.”
