https://www.redseaglobal.com/en/media-center/news/AMAALA-Yacht-Club-opens-putting-the-Red-Sea-on-the-global-yachting-map/Red Sea Global (RSG), the regenerative tourism developer, has announced that AMAALA Yacht Club has officially begun operations, marking a major milestone in establishing the Saudi Red Sea as a new global destination for luxury yachting, sailing and marine tourism.
Nestled within AMAALA Marina Village, the AMAALA Yacht Club is now welcoming founding members and visiting yachts to moor and explore the destination.
Located approximately 2,000 nautical miles from Monaco, the club provides a new winter destination for the world’s luxury sailing community, which traditionally migrates from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean or Indian Ocean from October. Positioned closer to the Mediterranean than the Caribbean, AMAALA offers an attractive winter cruising hub and a strategic gateway to the Indian Ocean.
AMAALA Marina features 119 berths, can accommodate superyachts of more than 100 meters offering comprehensive marine services, including fueling with maintenance and repair facilities in the coming years. The 7,900-square-meter AMAALA Yacht Club serves as a premier hub for the destination’s maritime community, offering world-class facilities, services and experiences for residents and visiting yacht owners alike. Berthing and mooring fees are comparable to leading European yachting destinations while yacht owners securing permanent moorings benefit from a range of exclusive privileges through selected resort partners.
Within AMAALA Yacht Club, members and guests can enjoy a selection of dining and social spaces, including AMAALA Lounge, ANQA, 27°C and The Deck, alongside a rooftop pool, private meeting suites and dedicated areas for social gatherings and events.
The club plays a key role in advancing Saudi Arabia’s presence on the global sailing stage. This includes being a centerpiece of the Grand Finale of The Ocean Race 2027, one of the world’s most prestigious sailing competitions. It will also host a series of international yachting events throughout the year.
The club’s members and guests will enjoy access to newly opened luxury resorts in AMAALA such as Four Seasons, Six Senses, Rosewood, Equinox, and Nammos with two additional resorts opening in the coming months. Visitors can revel in the elaborate wellness offerings, elite water sports, cultural programming, art installations and vibrant social spaces, creating a distinctive destination that reimagines the yachting lifestyle. With average temperatures of 26°C throughout the season and average lows of 23°C, AMAALA Offers a comfortable year-round cruising environment for yacht owners, guests and crew. Located just 45 minutes from Alwajh International Airport, the destination also provides convenient access and connectivity for international visitors.
Designed by HKS Architects, the yacht club draws inspiration from the sculpted rock formations of the Red Sea coastline, expressed through its cantilevered terraces, maritime heritage and traditional Arabian architectural forms. The landmark facility is designed to serve as long-term gathering place for the international sailing and yachting community.
Like the wider destination, AMAALA Yacht Club is powered entirely by renewable energy, reflecting Red Sea Global's commitment to responsible development and regenerative tourism.

Wynn Al Marjan Island, today announces Townhomes, one of the resort's most exclusive accommodation offerings, located within Enclave, Wynn Al Marjan Island's boutique hotel.
Evocative of the great aristocratic urban mansions found in Paris (hôtels particuliers), they are positioned at the very heart of the resort. Arrived at through the Royal Foyer, they offer immediate access to the wider destination while remaining architecturally and experientially removed, creating a rare sense of privacy at the center of it all. They will be available by exclusive reservation only.
Townhomes offer insight into the design philosophy and guest-centric thinking that will define this new ultra-private dimension of the Wynn Al Marjan Island experience. Townhomes, joins Marina and Ocean Estates and the Apartments as three distinct ways to experience Enclave, Wynn Al Marjan Island's boutique hotel within the resort.
"Townhomes move beyond the traditional idea of a villa or penthouse," said Todd-Avery Lenahan, President & Chief Creative Officer, Wynn Design & Development. "This is an entirely different category of accommodation, defined by privacy, scale, and a level of residential design rarely found in a resort setting."
Townhomes are designed for guests who value a rarified experience, those who wish to breathe in the energy of Wynn Al Marjan Island, with the full breadth of the destination immediately at their doorstep, before retreating at day's end to a private world entirely of their own.
Every detail has been designed with the permanence and craftsmanship of the world's finest private residences in mind. The result is a sense of warmth, depth and authenticity rarely found in hotel accommodations.
"What distinguishes the Townhomes is their individuality," said Lenahan. "Guests will encounter the rare and extraordinary. Every detail has been created specifically for these accommodations, resulting in spaces that feel deeply personal, highly curated, and distinctive as the finest homes anywhere in the world."
Among the resort's most exclusive accommodations, the Townhomes range from 630 square meters for two-bedroom layouts to 1,110 square meters for four-bedroom layouts, spanning two levels. "Space is one of the ultimate luxuries, and guests will experience it unapologetically here. The Townhomes represent the most expansive guest accommodations we have ever created; entirely unique within our global portfolio." said Lenahan.
Each is anchored by expansive primary suites and dedicated private spa facilities, including a hammam and tepidarium. A sequence of elegant salons invites a range of living and entertaining — palatial living and dining rooms, a dedicated library, billiards salon and media room. A contemporary kitchen, bar, and generous entertaining spaces further support both everyday retreat and entertaining.
Soaring vaulted ceilings, grand staircases, and refined architectural detailing provide a sense of volume and progression throughout. The experience extends outdoors through a fully enclosed verdant courtyard featuring multiple plunge pools, complemented by dedicated wellness facilities, together forming a fully self-contained retreat.
Whilst not located within the tower, Townhomes are part of Enclave, Wynn Al Marjan Island's boutique hotel and a destination within the destination. With the addition of the Townhomes, Enclave now comprises 323 accommodations across suites, Apartments, Townhomes, and Marina and Ocean Estates.
"Enclave was designed as a destination within the resort, and the Townhomes take that concept one step further," said Lenahan. "They have a character and identity all their own, created for guests seeking the privacy and permanence of a home within a world-class resort."
Guests of Townhomes will enjoy privileged access to a private beachfront and tailored in-accommodation amenities designed exclusively for them. With dedicated 24-hour butler and culinary staff and private chauffeured transportation, every detail is anticipated and delivered with precision, discretion, and the hallmark attentiveness synonymous with Wynn Resorts.

https://english.cscec.com/CompanyNews/CorporateNews/202608/3956591.htmlThe main structure of the first hotel in the R1029 Island Project, built by CSCEC, has recently topped out.
Located on a renowned artificial island in Dubai and adjacent to the iconic seven-star Burj Al Arab, the R1029 Island project covers roughly 440,000 square meters of floor area and is planned to comprise four five-star international hotels, premium apartments and a supporting commercial center.
The topping-out hotel is the first core building in the project to complete its main structure. Guided by this key milestone, the project team worked with sound organization and precise execution, maintaining strict control over both safety and quality throughout, to bring the structure to completion.
Work is now advancing in tandem across the remaining main structures, while mechanical and electrical installation is being pushed forward in full, creating favorable conditions for the orderly sequencing of interior and exterior works and parallel execution across multiple workfaces.

https://disneyparksblog.com/wdw/lakeshore-lodge-disney-world-updates/There’s more magic happening along the shores of Bay Lake as Disney’s Lakeshore Lodge continues to take shape. Walt Disney Imagineers are hard at work designing new spaces where families and friends can gather, reconnect, and experience sunrise coffee, leisurely afternoons, and unforgettable nighttime views.
https://disneyparksblog.com/storyliving/asteria-updates-news-and-more/Like the broader community, the entryway at Asteria is designed with creative guidance from Walt Disney Imagineering to reflect the natural beauty and character of North Carolina’s Piedmont region.
The land helps set the stage with topography that rises just beyond the entry before gently falling, creating a subtle reveal. Stone sourced from the site, including metavolcanic rock, quartz, and rhyolite, will be used throughout the entryway design. Built in the regional tradition of dry stacking, these materials will help connect the entryway to the land that inspired it.
One of the entryway’s signature elements will be a moon gate, an arched gateway that frames the landscape beyond. As residents and visitors pass through, the moon gate will create a memorable moment of arrival and offer a first look at the thoughtful details planned throughout Asteria.
