Saudi Arabia's Shebara Resort is Ultra-Luxurious
Debra John — July 10, 2025Now open on Sheybarah Island off Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast, Shebara Resort stands as a leading example of environmentally conscious luxury. Designed to harmonize with the island’s untouched ecosystem, the resort integrates advanced sustainability practices within its ultra-luxurious framework, setting a new standard for eco-sensitive tourism in the region.
The resort features 73 low-impact private villas—some nestled within natural dunes, others elevated above the sea on minimal-footprint platforms. Their pod-like forms are engineered to preserve native flora and marine ecosystems while maximizing natural light, ventilation, and thermal efficiency. Renewable energy plays a central role, with the resort powered entirely by a dedicated solar farm and supported by sustainable water and waste systems.
Created through a collaboration between environmental designers and hospitality specialists, Shebara Resort exemplifies how high-end travel can coexist with ecological stewardship and regenerative design.
