SLS The Red Sea Residences welcomes its first homeowners
Every home is powered by 100% renewable energy, supporting a broader destination ambition to move beyond sustainability towards regeneration
Shura Island Residences, a part of Red Sea Global (RSG), has welcomed its inaugural homeowners to SLS The Red Sea Residences. The move marks a significant milestone for the destination, as it brings SLS’s lifestyle-driven approach to residential living on Shura Island, said a statement.
“Welcoming our first homeowners to SLS turns our vision into a lived reality. These residents are now part of our story, shaping life on Shura Island and helping us in pioneering a regenerative approach that benefits both people and the planet. This is just the beginning of a vibrant new chapter for our community at The Red Sea,” said Stephen Cheesebrough, Head of Development at Red Sea Global.
Mishal Al Saif, the first homeowner at SLS The Red Sea Residences noted, “The Red Sea destination is no ordinary place; it represents a redefinition of global luxury tourism. As Saudis, we are proud to be part of this remarkable destination and it’s a privilege to be among the first to call it home.”
Developed in collaboration with Ennismore’s SLS brand, a curator of lifestyle hospitality and experiences, SLS The Red Sea Residences is said to represent the brand’s transformation from hotels to design-driven residential living. This exclusive collection of beach villas, ranging from 1-to-4 bedrooms, has already garnered 87% of its bookings. The residences offer an array of multi-generational amenities, set between the island’s beachfront and lagoon, reinforcing a seamless indoor–outdoor lifestyle. Set within the community is a curated lifestyle offering, centred around a main pool and Seabird Beach Bar, as well as a mix of wellness, sport and family-focused experiences, gym, padel facilities and basketball court, alongside the kids’ club, the statement explained.
Homeowners have access to lifestyle amenities, including restaurants, luxury retail, marina facilities, pristine beaches, and the Kingdom’s first island golf course, Shura Links. These are complemented by a hospitality-led ownership experience curated by SLS, offering services like concierge, security, and property management. Residents will also benefit from the Accor Ownership Benefits Programme, which provides access to over 5,000 hotels and resorts.
The residences reflect RSG’s approach to development and its long-term commitment to the natural environment. Every home is powered by 100% renewable energy, supporting a broader destination ambition to move beyond sustainability towards regeneration. By 2040, RSG aims to deliver a 30% net conservation benefit through the enhancement of biologically diverse habitats, including mangroves, seagrass, coral reefs and land vegetation. Since welcoming its first guests in 2023, The Red Sea has emerged as one of the coveted global destinations. With nine hotels now operational, the momentum continues on Shura Island, where only 2-villas remain at the SLS The Red Sea Residences, the statement said.
The dedicated Red Sea International Airport offers direct flights from Riyadh, Jeddah, Dubai, Doha, Milan, and the Maldives, ensuring residents have swift and convenient access to their homes. As Shura Island comes alive, SLS The Red Sea Residences sets the stage for a new era of living, where design, nature, and culture coexist, it concluded.
