A unique luxury tourist destination with a focus on ecology and wellness, for both local and international visitors, this proposed masterplan includes 2,500 keys and can cater for 5,000 people at a time. The masterplan design creates the opportunity to introduce two marinas; one for the private boats, and one as a hub for water transportation between the islands. It is connected to the coast line via a bridge and has a strong water connectivity between the other islands; it serves as a hub for all the tourists arriving from the airport before being transported to their relevant accommodations. Electric vehicles are only allowed to access the island.

Transforming the current sand-bank island, the new masterplan design is inspired by the forms found in nature and the site, which resembles a series of atolls forming and breaking down into a collection of paradisiac private islands, accessible via electric boats. A circle is carved within the island to allow access to more waterbodies, and to activate the centre. Each corner of the resort is designed to reflect a space of intimacy and tranquility, providing the ‘barefoot luxury’ experience. The Island Resort includes a variety of secluded villas; from golf villas, beach villas, and stargazing villas to water villas and floating villas. To create the sensation of zero interruptions within the landscape, a smooth, wavy surface was designed that integrates each villa into a single formal organic gesture, which gradually separates and reconnects with the landscape. A more affordable accommodation option is available in ‘The Village’, the busy and vibrant portion of the hotel located on the mainland which includes a strip of retail, restaurants and cafes.

Coastal Village development is underway to house 14,000 employees and their families

SP: At what stage is the project now in terms of infrastructure, and what is the timeline?

AT: Despite the difficult circumstances surrounding the pandemic, we have continued to make significant progress on the ground, and there are 500 contracts worth over SAR 15 billion now awarded to local and international partners.
The 100-hectare Landscape Nursery, the largest in Saudi Arabia, which will provide more than 15 million plants for the destination, has been operational since early 2020. There are more than 6,000 workers currently on-site, and the first 80km of new roads are near complete. The Construction Village, which is set to house 10,000 workers, is already open, and development is also progressing well at the Coastal Village, which will be home to around 14,000 people who will eventually operate the destination. This includes a 3-star management hotel, the first accommodation and our new offices.

Last year, we marked a significant milestone in the construction of our eco-friendly Red Sea International Airport. We awarded a substantial contract to an all-Saudi JV between Nesma & Partners and Almabani for airside infrastructure works ahead of the airport opening in 2022. This includes the design and building of a Code F Runway 3,700 meters long, Code B Seaplane Runway, Parallel & Link taxiways and pavement works, Aeronautical Navigational Aids, Aerodrome Ground Lighting, Airside utilities, helipads, roads and associated buildings.

We have an exciting year ahead at TRSDC. As we move into a post-Covid world, we are creating more partnerships, breaking new ground on-site and continuing to move forward with our plans to welcome the first guests by the end of 2022. Upon completion in 2030, there will be 50 hotels, offering up to 8,000 hotel rooms and more than 1,000 residences across 22 islands and six inland sites.

Not the most exciting part of the project but very important in the plans for making this project as sustainable as possible for the environment.
