Fairmont The Red Sea

Shura Island, Saudi Arabia. Fairmont, Accor

Opens: November 2026
Rooms: 193
Type: Resort
Operator: Accor

Opens November 2026, later than first announced.

Fairmont The Red Sea is due to open in November 2026 on Shura Island, along Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast. Accor's release of 2 December 2025 said May 2026, so the date has moved, and the hotel's own page now reads Opening November 2026.

The page counts 193 rooms and suites, villas included. Fairmont and The Club rooms list terraces, and The Club rooms add private check-in and concierge service. The 31 pool villas run from one bedroom to a five-bedroom sea-front villa, each with a kitchen and a private pool.

The hotel is halal and has six restaurants. The page names three, Tresora for Mediterranean food, Aysu for Turkish dishes and Zaina, adults only, for Pan-Arabic specialties. The spa has a hammam, an aqua tonic pool and five treatment rooms, with treatments from partners including Sodashi, 111Skin and Maroc Maroc. Four main pools serve the resort, and the page counts 35 once the villa pools are included.

Ground transfer from Red Sea International Airport takes 30 minutes, across the Shura Bridge. Shura Links, with 18 holes, is described as Saudi Arabia's first island golf course.

"OPENING NOVEMBER 2026"
