Redefining the Luxury Landscape for UK Travellers 

As Saudi Arabia opens its doors wider to international visitors, the Red Sea is emerging as a new frontier in luxury travel, combining untouched nature, architectural brilliance, and a commitment to regenerative tourism. For well-travelled UK guests, the appeal lies in experiencing this exclusive destination before it becomes mainstream.

This growth is supported by increased flight routes, new airline partnerships, and the launch of a streamlined e‑Visa system for UK citizens. With demand rising across the Gulf region, the Red Sea is positioning itself as the insider’s destination of choice.

British travellers are increasingly seeking meaningful escapes over traditional beach holidays - prioritising sustainability, cultural immersion, and design-forward experiences. The St. Regis Red Sea Resort delivers on all fronts, making it a top pick among early adopters.

“British travellers are seeking stories, not just stays,” says Andrea Colla, Resort Manager. “This is where cutting-edge architecture meets the soul of Arabia - where you can switch off, reconnect, and return with something more than souvenirs.”

 

The Red Sea’s Beautiful Island Resort

The first private island resort to open within the ambitious Red Sea Project, The St. Regis Red Sea Resort redefined barefoot luxury. With just 90 beachfront and overwater villas, the property offers a level of space, privacy and serenity rarely found in the region. This is not a place for crowds or compromise. It’s a destination for early adopters, design enthusiasts, and eco-conscious travellers who want something new, rare, and resonant.

 

Architecture by Kengo Kuma. Interiors by Kristina Zanic. Nature at the Centre.

Renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, known for his fluid, nature-inspired buildings, has created a series of villas that mimic coral reefs, sea breezes and rolling desert dunes. Interiors by Kristina Zanic Consultants evoke coastal elegance with natural, tactile materials - think handwoven textiles, mother-of-pearl finishes and raw wood.

Every villa opens to uninterrupted sea views, expansive decks, and private pools. Coral Villas float above turquoise shallows, while Dune Villas curve into soft sands and shifting light. The mood is calm, grounded, and deeply immersive.

One of the World’s Most Sustainable Luxury Resorts

The St. Regis Red Sea Resort isn’t just carbon-conscious - it’s built to LEED Platinum standards and is entirely solar-powered via one of the world’s largest renewable energy systems.

It’s also proudly plastic-free, with zero-waste policies, on-site water treatment and strict conservation protocols to protect the surrounding coral reefs and marine life.

But don’t expect rustic. This is elegance without compromise—with world-class cuisine, spa rituals, and intuitive St. Regis Butler service delivered with planet-first precision.

 

Why UK Travellers Are Flocking to the Red Sea
