UNIQUE 'GREEN' RESORTS

RED Sea Global (RSG) is setting new benchmarks in the luxury tourism industry with The Red Sea project, an exclusive destination that combines opulence with sustainability on Saudi Arabia's pristine west coast.

Marking a significant milestone, RSG has earned six prestigious LEED certifications for its properties, including Platinum certifications for the first three resorts to open at the destination.

These achievements not only highlight the developer's commitment to green building but also its leadership in the global push for regenerative tourism, blending cutting-edge design with cultural and environmental harmony.

The Red Sea project offers indulgent experiences across uniquely designed resorts, managed by globally recognised hospitality brands.

The Building Design + Construction (BD+C) certifications solidify its position as a leader in developing efficient, green buildings. Three of these certifications were awarded for RSG's first three resorts to open at The Red Sea: Six Senses Southern Dunes, The St Regis Red Sea Resort, and Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. These three resorts were recognised with the LEED v4 BD+C: Hospitality Platinum.

The other three certifications went to Turtle Bay Management Office (LEED v4 BD+C: New Construction Platinum) and The Red Sea linear apartments and The Red Sea type Z apartments (both with LEED v4 BD+C: New Construction Gold).

In an exclusive interview with Gulf Construction's Bina Goveas, Faisal Butt, Group Head of Technical Project Management Office at Red Sea Global, remarks: "We are proud to lead in sustainable luxury hospitality through innovative designs and practices that respect our environment while providing unique and immersive experiences for our guests. Our commitment to sustainability does not compromise luxury; it enhances it, allowing our guests to enjoy unparalleled experiences that harmonise with the natural world."
