The hotel is situated along a private beachfront, offering views of the Red Sea and proximity to Shura Links, an 18-hole golf course designed by Brian Curley.
The hotel features a design by Rockwell Group, incorporating natural materials like coral stone and oak, and focuses on integrating the architecture with the surrounding landscape. The design aims to reflect the natural environment, with indoor-outdoor transitions that emphasize views of the Red Sea and the island’s greenery.
