Opening Shebara Resort on the Red Sea
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is set to redefine luxury tourism with the imminent launch of Shebara, an extraordinary resort nestled in the pristine waters of the Red Sea. As the 4th establishment to grace The Red Sea destination, Shebara represents a pinnacle of luxury, sustainability, and innovative design.
From its distinctive orb-shaped villas to its world-class amenities, Shebara is not just a resort; it’s a testament to the Kingdom’s commitment to creating unparalleled, sustainable tourism destinations.
The Orb’s Design of Shebara
Shebara was designed by the renowned firm Killa Design, known for its groundbreaking work in creating structures that push the boundaries of form and function.
At the heart of Shebara’s design are its distinctive orb-shaped villas. These futuristic structures, crafted from stainless steel, create a mesmerizing visual effect as they seemingly float above the turquoise waters of the Red Sea.
Each orb is designed to maximize views of the surrounding seascape while providing ultimate privacy for guests. At certain times of day, the villas almost disappear into the horizon, blending seamlessly with the sky and sea.
The resort also draws inspiration from the concept of “Hafawah,” a Saudi tradition of genuine, heartfelt hospitality. This age-old custom is reimagined in a modern context, where state-of-the-art amenities and personalized services create an unforgettable guest experience.

The bathrooms are particularly noteworthy, with freestanding tubs positioned to offer breathtaking views of the sea.
Beachfront Villas
Shebara’s 35 beachfront villas offer an equally luxurious experience for those who prefer to be closer to the shore.
These villas are nestled among the dunes, providing direct access to the resort’s pristine white sand beach.
Each villa features a private garden and outdoor living area, perfect for enjoying the balmy Red Sea evenings.
The interiors of the beachfront villas are designed to bring the outside in, with large sliding doors that open up to create a seamless indoor-outdoor living space.
