The Red Sea, Saudi Arabia: Grand Hyatt Opens on Shura Island a Month Early

Leisure guests will find indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center and the Ethereal Spa, with ten treatment rooms. Children have Camp Hyatt, and teenagers their own spaces, which makes the resort one of the most family-minded addresses in the destination. Golf is close by. Dining ranges from contemporary international cuisine to beachfront tables and specialty restaurants led by well-known chefs.

The events offer is what sets it apart. The resort holds the destination's largest purpose-built venue, with more than 2,400 square meters of space in all: a grand ballroom of 1,390 square meters, a junior ballroom of 683 square meters, conference rooms and outdoor lawns and terraces. Red Sea Global says the resort strengthens its capacity to host international conferences, corporate gatherings and major events, and it is equally suited to weddings and private celebrations. Our guide to luxury weddings and venues in the Middle East shows how the region's finest resorts approach the big day.

Late autumn through spring is the most comfortable season on this coast, with warm sea water and mild evenings. A Grand Hyatt stay pairs well with a few nights at one of the island's smaller, quieter resorts, or with a journey inland to AlUla. Our Saudi Arabia luxury travel guide covers visas, seasons and the country's great sights, and our page on luxury family travel in the Middle East has ideas for traveling with children.
