Raffles The Red Sea Opens With 168 Keys on Shura Island

Red Sea Global has opened Raffles The Red Sea, bringing the Raffles brand to the Saudi Arabian coastal destination with 121 rooms, 14 suites and 33 private villas.

The property is now operating on Shura Island as a refined island retreat that pairs contemporary design with highly personalized service and experiences shaped by its coastal setting.

Raffles The Red Sea spans 168 keys in total, made up of 121 rooms, 14 suites and 33 private villas. Accommodation is positioned to look out across the lagoon or the Red Sea.

The 33 villas form Raffles Residences The Red Sea, a limited collection of one- to four-bedroom homes set within the natural surroundings of the destination.

Dining is spread across five venues. Ni'ma serves Eastern Mediterranean cuisine, while Siparaja offers a Singaporean experience inspired by Peranakan heritage. Anbara combines French patisserie craft with Arabian notes, El Nay provides Pan-Arabic bites and refreshments by the sea, and The Pool Bar & Grill offers relaxed dining alongside the water.

The developer framed the launch as another significant milestone in the evolution of The Red Sea destination, saying Raffles' heritage of distinguished service and elegance adds breadth and quality to its hospitality offering on Shura Island.
