Raffles The Red Sea opens on Shura Island: 168 keys within Foster + Partners' Coral Bloom masterplan

Red Sea Global announced in October 2026 the opening of Raffles The Red Sea on the north-western shore of Shura Island, set between a lagoon and the open sea and part of Foster + Partners' Coral Bloom masterplan for the island.

WHY IT MATTERS

Let me explain

The resort has 168 keys: 121 rooms, 14 suites and 33 private pool villas. The villas form Raffles Residences The Red Sea, one- to four-bedroom homes designed by Foster + Partners with interiors by ACPV Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel. Rooms start at 57 m² and the three-bedroom pool villas reach 260 m², according to Accor. Dining spans five restaurants and lounges that open in phases, while Raffles Spa & Wellness and the adults' pool will follow in a later phase. Shura Island is powered entirely by renewable energy and is reached from Red Sea International Airport by electric vehicle across the 3.3-kilometre Shura crossing. Red Sea Global already welcomes guests at InterContinental, SLS, The EDITION, Four Seasons and Miraval, with five more resorts set to open in the coming months.
