- Officially launched by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Chairman of The Red Sea Development Company, the Coral Bloom concept, which was created by lead architect Foster + Partners, is designed to blend in with the island’s natural environment.
-
- Biodiversity considerations take centre stage, with the plan designed to avoid disruption of the island’s mangroves and other habitats, providing natural defences from erosion, while new habitats are created through landscaping to enhance the island’s natural state.
-
- The proposal also outlines designs for the island’s 11 hotels, adapted to suit traveller expectations post-Covid-19 including more space, and immersed into the landscape to effectively form part of the sweeping dunes, allowing the island’s natural beauty to remain as the focal point.
-
- These enhancements will contribute to raising the level of the land, providing a defensive layer from the global threat of rising sea levels. Importantly, the changes aim to preserve or enhance what already exists on the island, without damaging any habitats or natural shores.
