AMAALA, Red Sea Global’s luxury, multi-brand wellness destination, was honored by the Global Wellness Institute (GWI) at the 2026 Wellness Real Estate & Communities Symposium last week in New York.
AMAALA was featured in Build Well to Live Well: Case Studies, Volume 2 – Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a prestigious new report highlighting eight standout developments from around the world that are shaping the future of wellness-focused living.
The GWI report recognises AMAALA, alongside the Red Sea Global Headquarters, for their approach to sustainability, wellness and environmentally conscious design.
Stephen Cheesebrough, Head of Development at RSG, commented: “Being recognized by the Global Wellness Institute alongside the world’s most advanced wellness developments is a testament to our mission to create destinations that not only protect and restore nature, but also promote the well-being of everyone who experiences them.“
The AMAALA Residences are renowned for integrating nature-inspired architecture, native landscaping, and human-centric design principles throughout the development. The collection includes a curated selection of branded residences, Clinique La Prairie, Equinox and Jayasom, global pioneers of wellness and longevity, alongside wellness-centric lifestyle brands such as Six Senses, Four Seasons and Rosewood. For those seeking outdoor pursuits and a luxury lifestyle, AMAALA also offers The Andar Club and Nammos.
Throughout the destination, architecture and landscaping have been inspired by the surrounding Red Sea environment. Sustainable systems, including renewable energy and water recycling infrastructure, have been integrated across the development to reduce environmental impact.
RSG’s sustainability efforts are anchored by the Botanica Nursery, the largest landscape nursery in the Middle East, which supports AMAALA’s commitment to growing and protecting native plant species suited to the region’s coastal environment.
Beyond architectural excellence, the GWI report highlights RSG’s focus on workforce wellbeing, with purpose-built accommodation, community facilities, and wellness amenities provided for employees throughout the development process.
The report was authored by Global Wellness Institute researchers Ophelia Yeung and Katherine Johnston and highlights projects leading the way in sustainability, inclusivity, cultural connection and design innovation.
AMAALA’s inclusion further reinforces its role in supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and positioning the Kingdom as a global destination for luxury wellness tourism.
