The St. Regis Red Sea Resort, Saudi Arabia.

Occupying a secluded private island within the Ummahat archipelago, The St. Regis Red Sea Resort is a masterclass in high-tech sustainability and barefoot luxury. Reachable only by seaplane or speedboat, the property is powered entirely by renewable solar energy and features 90 overwater and beachfront villas, each equipped with its own pool and the brand’s signature butler service. The architecture mimics the organic curves of the coastline, offering direct access to the world’s fourth-largest barrier reef system. Beyond the predictable high-end amenities like the holistic spa and five distinct restaurants, the resort serves as a gateway to the region’s untouched marine life, where guests can paddleboard through mangroves or dive among pristine coral forests.
