Why this trip
On islands and coral reefs along the coast of Saudi Arabia, a destination is emerging that relies on distance from everyday life: Red Sea Global. The islands are partly uninhabited, the lagoons clear, and the aim is to protect nature. The idea behind it is privacy through space. Guests reach the resorts by seaplane or boat, the number of visitors is limited, and diving or snorkelling on the reef is part of the day.
Add to that desert and mountains in the hinterland, which you explore on an excursion. The hotels are new and still at the start of their story. The catalogue lists Six Senses Southern Dunes, Nujuma A Ritz Carlton Reserve, Shebara Hotel and St Regis Red Sea Resort. The best time is between October and April, when water and air are pleasant.
Because the destination is young, the video call is especially worthwhile: Island Escapes checks how the journey works, which island suits you and what you need to know before the trip. Anyone who seeks seclusion and values novelty finds a place here with no precedent. Anyone who prefers the tried and tested chooses the Maldives or the Seychelles.
Getting there
From Zurich or Basel-Mulhouse, the journey often continues by boat or seaplane, and Island Escapes plans the connections.
