According to gigaproject developer, the spectacular Coral Bloom design concept for Shura island created by renowned British architects Foster + Partners, was heavily influenced by the island’s natural landscape, with hotels that are nestled amongst the dunes and bio-diversity taking centre stage throughout.
Commenting at the time, John Pagano, the CEO of TRSDC, said: “We expect guests to be awed by what they see when they first arrive at The Red Sea Project, enjoying a truly immersive barefoot luxury experience. The Coral Bloom designs, taking inspiration from the incredible flora and fauna found uniquely in Saudi Arabia, promise to make that vision a reality.”
The Red Sea Project has already passed numerous significant milestones and work is on track to welcome the first guests by the end of 2022, when the international airport and the first hotels will open. All 16 hotels planned in Phase 1 will be opening by the end of 2023, according to the firm. Â
It noted in a statement: “Upon completion in 2030, The Red Sea Project will comprise 50 hotels, offering up to 8,000 hotel rooms and around 1,300 residential properties across 22 islands and six inland sites. The destination will also include a luxury marina, entertainment and leisure facilities.”
