The Miraval Brand Debuts Globally with Opening of Miraval The Red Sea in Saudi Arabia
New opening marks the first Miraval resort outside the United States, ushering in a new era of transformative wellbeing on The Red Sea
Chicago (June 9, 2026) - Miraval Resorts & Spas has announced the opening of Miraval The Red Sea on Shura Island, marking the brand's first destination outside the United States and a defining milestone in its global evolution.
Set between desert and water on Saudi Arabia's west coast and surrounded by mangrove forests, the adults-only retreat introduces the Miraval signature blend of mindfulness and intentional wellness to the region. Rooted in the brand's 30-year philosophy of mindful living, the Miraval brand's guiding principle of empowering guests to 'live a life in balance' is thoughtfully expressed through elements of local heritage, creating an experience that feels both distinctly like the Miraval brand and authentically connected to place.
Architecture and interiors by Foster + Partners and Rockwell Group have created a restorative retreat of 180 guestrooms, suites and villas woven into the island's natural landscape of lagoons and mangroves using natural materials, desert tones and coral-inspired forms to achieve a calm environment.
Positioned within one of the world's most ambitious regenerative tourism destinations, Miraval The Red Sea offers guests a rare opportunity for profound stillness and wellbeing in an extraordinary setting where desert landscapes meet untouched marine ecosystems. With its adults-only approach and immersive wellness philosophy, the resort introduces a new expression of luxury travel focused on intentional living, restoration, and meaningful connection to self and destination.
Miraval The Red Sea offers guests a host of experiences including:
Immersive wellbeing
Life in Balance Spa
Cuisine designed for wellbeing
Miraval The Red Sea is on Shura Island, the heart of the newly established The Red Sea destination, one of the world's most ambitious regenerative tourism developments spanning more than 28,000 km² of coastline, islands, desert and mountains and powered entirely by renewable energy. As Shura Island continues to evolve, it is fast becoming home to a collection of world-class luxury resorts, marinas, lifestyle and leisure facilities, as well as an 18-hole island championship golf course, Shura Links.
