In January 2024, the St. Regis Red Sea Resort, located on the first private island in the Red Sea, unveiled its new spa, a sanctuary of luxury and wellness that celebrates the natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of Saudi Arabia. This world-class spa combines the signature sophistication of the St. Regis brand with a design that honours the stunning Ummahat island and Saudi cultural authenticity.
An Oasis of Elegance and Culture
The spa features eight treatment rooms, including gazebos and outdoor baths, private cabins, and personal care lounges for both ladies and gentlemen. Every corner of the spa is meticulously designed to offer a sensory and indulgent experience, celebrating the connection between the natural environment and personal well-being. Open windows and outdoor cabins are designed to bring the tranquillity of the outdoors inside, while Saudi cultural elements such as the scent of Oud, Arabic music, and local products like honey and dates enhance the experience.
The interior decor of the spa is inspired by the island’s marine environment, with blue patterns that evoke the Red Sea corals and glass chandeliers shaped like jellyfish. The hand-hammered bronze counter and macramé screen stand out as design elements reflecting local beauty, creating a sophisticated and serene atmosphere.
A Focus on Sustainability
The spa also stands out for its commitment to sustainability. In collaboration with AMRA Skincare, the spa uses recycled ingredients and sustainable packaging, including ribbons developed from marine plastic. AMRA’s exclusive treatments, formulated with microcellular actives, provide a luxurious and responsible wellness experience. Notable treatments include the ‘Caroline’s Collection’, which honours Mrs. Astor’s passion for innovation and refinement. This collection includes unique experiences like ‘Prescribed Luxury’, which uses orchid stem cells and crushed diamonds, and ‘Golden Sensory Awakening’, which offers a Gold Rhassoul body mask and a 24-karat hot stone massage.
Comprehensive Wellness and Exclusive Activities
In addition to spa treatments, guests can enjoy a variety of wellness activities. The resort offers sunrise and sunset yoga, breathing art classes, and chakra balancing massages designed to capture positive emotions. For a complete wellness journey, the resort features a fully equipped gym, outdoor and vitality pools, paddle and tennis courts, and personal training sessions.
In summary, the St. Regis Red Sea Resort and its new spa offer an extraordinary experience combining luxury, wellness, and sustainability in an impressive setting. Each visit promises to be a journey of renewal and sophistication, celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Saudi Arabia and the enduring legacy of the St. Regis brand.
