The Red Sea EDITION at Shura Island
Shura Island, Saudi Arabia · EDITION · High Luxury
In October 2025 The Red Sea EDITION became the first hotel on Foster + Partners' Coral Bloom hub on Shura Island: 240 rooms, Rockwell Group interiors, and an arrival pavilion of rammed earth and oak cut like canyon walls. Ian Schrager's low-key EDITION mood lands on a regenerative Saudi archipelago. Shura Island runs on off-grid renewable energy backed by one of the world's largest battery stores, and a Recovery Dome in the wellness area offers hydrothermal sessions.
