Sheybarah Hotel is a hyper-luxury resort on Sheybarah Island on The Red Sea archipelago, designed by Killa Design in Dubai. Aiming for a LEED-Platinum accreditation, it comprises of a series of overwater and inland villas located on the uninhabited Sheybarah Island.
The project’s main contractor Grankraft Industries said that each overwater villa will be lifted above the water surface, reducing ground foundation impact to a minimum and offering panoramic views of the sea.
These pods will have sliding doors that open to a deck, a seating area, and an infinity pool. The approach to façade design has been to minimise visual impact, with each villa having polished stainless steel cladding that reflects the water, the sky, and the reef with the rich sea life below.
This material is the key feature of the project and is used in various locations such as the lobby, dining areas, spa and beach villas.
The goal of the project is to best preserve and enhance the surrounding biodiversity by minimising its environmental footprint.
