A private host dedicated to each villa will support residents and their guests with creating personalized itineraries and selecting life-enhancing moments from the extensive menu of signature treatments and innovative wellbeing programs that pay homage to the rich local culture and heritage of the Middle East.
Complementary to the exclusive community of twenty beach villas, Miraval The Red Sea will feature 160 suites and guestrooms seamlessly integrated into the pristine landscape of Shura Island. Anchored by the Life in Balance Spa, a 40,000-square foot haven, with 39 indoor and outdoor treatment rooms, Miraval The Red Sea is the largest spa on the island and offers a serene sanctuary designed to inspire relaxation, restore balance, and elevate wellbeing.
Miraval The Red Sea forms an integral part of The Red Sea Project, one of the world's most ambitious regenerative tourism developments. Expected to become the Kingdom's premier international leisure destination, this luxury destination is committed to preserving and actively enhancing the natural environment, which spans 10,800 square miles. Boasting 124 miles of pristine coastline and an archipelago of more than 90 untouched islands, dormant volcanoes, desert, mountains, and a wide variety of wildlife, the destination is rapidly becoming one of the world's most sought-after locations. Residents can access their private property from the dedicated international airport, Red Sea International.
'It is an honor to celebrate 30 years of the Miraval brand's transformative wellbeing and life-enriching moments on a global stage through Miraval The Red Sea and its residences,' said Juan Paolo Alfonso, General Manager, Miraval The Red Sea. 'The launch of Miraval The Red Sea not only represents our first Miraval-branded development outside of the United States, but our latest foray into branded residences that offer a rare opportunity to invest in a sanctuary dedicated to a life of wellbeing and intention.'

Nominations now open for the inaugural TOURISE Awards
The TOURISE Awards spotlight the world's most impactful destinations, celebrating culture, connection, and innovation in travel. RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA – The TOURISE Awards officially launched as a new global benchmark celebrating excellence in tourism destinations. Created to honor places that are shaping the future of travel, the Awards spotlight destinations delivering meaningful, memorable, and measurable value across the traveler journey. Nominations are now open to individual travelers, industry professionals, and organizations passionate about recognizing the world's most exceptional places. The TOURISE Awards are an extension of the TOURISE platform powered by Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Tourism and announced via a virtual press conference on May 22, 2025. In line with the TOURISE ethos, the Awards take a bold stance recognizing destinations with a strong sense of identity, measurable impact, and responsible management. Eligible destinations must have (i) a defined geographic scope (a city, region or site), (ii) a distinct identity and character that stems from culture, landscapes and attractions that shape how the destination is perceived by travelers, and finally (iii) must be backed by a tourism governing body responsible for ensuring a destination is effectively managed. The TOURISE Awards feature five distinct award categories: Best Arts and Culture Destination, Best Adventure Destination, Best Food and Culinary Destination, Best Shopping Destination, and Best Entertainment Destination. In addition, a flagship Best Overall Destination award will recognize the destination that excels across all aspects of the traveler experience — setting a new global benchmark as the most exceptional place to visit. Jean-Philippe Cossé, CEO of TOURISE, said: 'Tourism is not just a key economic engine – it's a powerful connector of cultures, a builder of communities, and a driver of sustainable change. As the industry undergoes a bold transformation, it's more crucial than ever to spotlight the destinations that are leading with vision, purpose, and resilience. The TOURISE Awards are our tribute to those extraordinary places that don't just welcome travelers – they inspire them, challenge the status quo, and push the boundaries of what tourism can achieve. These awards put destinations at the center of the global conversation, celebrating the pioneers who are shaping the future of travel.' The TOURISE Awards will be judged by an independent jury panel comprised of a powerhouse of cross-industry trailblazers from the worlds of travel and tourism, fashion, culinary, art, retail, culture, adventure and entertainment: Filip Boyen, Former CEO, Forbes Travel Guide; Former CEO, Michael Ellis, Former Global Director, Michelin Guides; Former Global Director, Fiona Jeffery, Former Chair, World Travel Market; Former Chair Tourism for Tomorrow Awards; Former Chair, World Travel Market; Former Chair Tourism for Renaud de Lesquen; Former CEO, Givenchy, Former President Dior AM; Former CEO, Givenchy, Former President Lars Nittve, Former Founding Director, Tate Modern; Founding Director, Albert Read, Former Managing Director , Conde Nast; Former Managing Director , Caroline Rush, Former CEO, British Fashion Council; Former CEO, British Fashion Omar Samra, UN Goodwill Ambassador, Mountaineer and Polar Explorer UN Goodwill Ambassador, Mountaineer and Polar Explorer Bernold Schroeder, Former CEO, Kempinski; Pan Pacific. Eligible destinations will be evaluated across 10 assessment criteria, grouped into three key areas, which make up the destination experience: offering, value, convenience. Judges will assess how destinations perform across these areas – considering what they offer, how accessible and visitor-friendly they are, the overall value they provide, and most importantly, the quality and impact of the experience. This includes looking at factors such as authenticity, innovation, inclusion, sustainability, accessibility, accommodation variety, and safety, all of which contribute to a destination's ability to deliver a meaningful and memorable journey. The winners of the inaugural TOURISE Awards will be announced at the TOURISE Summit, taking place in Riyadh from November 11 to 13. The Summit will bring together leading voices from across tourism, travel, investment, and innovation – from heads of state and visionary CEOs to creators, disruptors, and global investors. It will serve as a platform to spark bold ideas, build transformative partnerships, and shape new standards for the future of travel.
