"Watch the ocean sunset from your private pool at this secluded island resort in the Red Sea, where butler service, spacious villas and jaw-dropping views await."

Tucked away on a private island in the Ummahat Archipelago, the St. Regis Red Sea Resort combines the luxurious accommodations and first-rate service you’d expect from the brand with a postcard-perfect setting. After landing at the Red Sea International Airport in Hanak, Saudi Arabia, you’ll be whisked off to the resort via seaplane or speedboat. Once you’re here, you can spend your days enjoying international cuisine and outdoor activities, or lounging in a poolside cabana for long hours.

The 90 luxurious villas are divided between beachfront and overwater locations, both of which are spectacular, so it really comes down to personal preference. No matter what style of accommodations you choose, you’ll get a private pool and sundeck, a comfortable living area, walk-in closets, a Nespresso machine and signature St. Regis Butler service. If you prefer to stay on the beach, the Presidential Dune Villa is the most spacious, featuring four bedrooms, each with picturesque water views from a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. However, it’s hard to beat dinner on your sunset-view deck in the overwater Sunset Coral Villa, a two-bedroom retreat with an overwater pool and some of the resort’s most breathtaking views.

It’s only fitting to dine on Middle Eastern cuisine while staying in the region, and you’ll find some of the best around at the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, Nesma. There’s Gishiki 45 for Japanese cuisine made with fresh local seafood, and The Beach Club for global fare is just steps from the sea. Every St. Regis Bar has its own signature version of the Bloody Mary, and here it’s a mocktail version known as the Coral Mary, which will be made for you by an expert mixologist as you enjoy live music or browse the menu of bar bites.

The fitness centre is open 24/7, but you may want to abandon your usual workout routine in favour of swimming a few laps in the sparkling outdoor pool, joining a guided hike, hitting the tennis courts or trying watersports like kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. Be sure to set aside an hour (or more) for a bit of pampering at the spa and the adjacent salon. Conservation tours are available to immerse you in the wonders of the local ecosystem, and the Kids’ Club makes it easy for adults to enjoy quiet time or adrenaline-pumping adventures without worrying about little ones.
