The Red Sea EDITION

Shura Island, Red Sea

Ian Schrager's boundary-defining luxury on Shura Island — named the world's best new hotel by Forbes.

The Red Sea EDITION opened in November 2025 as the first EDITION hotel in Saudi Arabia, and Forbes immediately named it the best new hotel in the world. Set on Shura Island alongside the St. Regis and InterContinental, its 240 rooms express Ian Schrager's distinctive philosophy — lobby as a theatrical social space, design as a guest experience, and service that feels effortless rather than formal. The resort's beach club, multiple dining concepts, and coral reef access make it the Red Sea's most talked-about new address for culturally conscious luxury travellers.
