Six Senses Southern Dunes, The Red Sea
Foster + Partners desert resort among the dunes of Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast
The Privata Perspective
The flagship of Saudi Arabia's new Red Sea destination and one of the most architecturally striking resort openings of the decade. Foster + Partners scattered 36 rooms and 40 pool villas across a rippling inland dunescape, with design cues drawn from the Nabataean heritage of the region. The setting — silent dunes, dramatic wadi views, and enormous desert skies — feels closer to Amangiri than to anything else in the Middle East.
As part of the wider Red Sea destination, the resort pairs naturally with the coast: pristine reefs a short drive away offer some of the least-dived coral in the world. For travellers curious about Saudi Arabia's opening to tourism, this is the most refined way in — and we handle the visa guidance and private transfers that make the trip effortless.
