EL.KZ Информационно-познавательный портал
Red Sea Project is a large-scale initiative under Vision 2030, aimed at developing sustainable tourism. 50 hotels with 8,000 rooms, over 1,000 residential units across 22 islands and several inland locations are expected to be opened by 2030. Development of one of the world’s most eco friendly tourist destinations is led by Red Sea Global (RSG), a company fully owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, El.kz reports.
Shebara Resort is the first property fully owned and operated by RSG under its own brand. It is located on the private island of Sheybarah (sometimes spelled Shebarah) in the Al Wajh lagoon, about 25 km from the mainland. The resort can be reached in 30-40 minutes by boat or in about 30 minutes by seaplane from Red Sea International Airport.
Architecture that dissolves into landscape
Shebara’s villas resemble giant pearls scattered across the water and shoreline. They were manufactured in Dubai by Killa Design - the studio behind the Museum of the Future -then transported and installed on stilts to avoid disturbing the seabed. Their mirrored steel facades reflect the sky, sea, and clouds, making the resort nearly invisible at certain hours.
There are 73 villas in total: 38 overwater and 35 beachfront. Among them are ultra-exclusive Crownand Royal villas with multiple bedrooms, private beaches, and expansive living spaces. Inside, the design features flowing lines, neutral tones, sculptural furniture, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows, and private infinity pools. Every detail is designed for maximum privacy: direct water access, personalized lighting, and premium materials.
The resort’s philosophy combines total privacy with closeness to nature. Guests often describe a feeling of complete isolation from the outside world while remaining deeply connected to the natural environment. On Booking.com and Tripadvisor, couples frequently rate the resort above 9.8/10, especially for its atmosphere and location.
Infrastructure and service level
Shebara Resort is positioned as a five-star destination offering 24/7 service, several restaurants, a spa center, fitness facilities, and two swimming pools. Guests have access to concierge services, in-room dining, guided excursions, and a круглосуточная front desk. Villas are equipped with climate control systems, safes, minibars, panoramic TVs, and dedicated workspaces, with many offering sweeping views of the Red Sea.
