Red Sea Global (RSG) unveiled Laheq Island, its first private residential island offering a luxury lifestyle experience in the Kingdom.
Laheq Island marks the first residential project to be announced following the completion of Phase One of The Red Sea destination, which welcomed its first guests in 2023 and saw the opening of five resorts. Construction is currently underway to complete an additional 11 resorts on Shura Island, alongside the operation of Red Sea International Airport, which now offers regular domestic and international flights.
Scheduled to open in 2028, Laheq Island will be the first project within the destination focused on residential unit ownership, complemented by exceptional hospitality facilities and services.
Situated within an archipelago of 92 pristine islands along the Kingdom's west coast, Laheq Island is surrounded by one of the world's largest barrier reefs, home to over 2,000 rare and unique marine species. The island spans 400 hectares (4,000,000 square meters) and features a wide array of recreational facilities and activities designed for both residents and visitors.
RSG has pledged to plant 50 million mangrove trees and enhance their habitats while also protecting and regenerating coral reefs and surrounding marine ecosystems.
Upon completion, The Red Sea destination will become the world's largest tourism destination with all facilities and resorts powered entirely by 100% renewable energy—including Laheq Island.
All 16 resorts of Phase One are expected to be fully operational this year. By 2030, The Red Sea destination will comprise 50 resorts offering up to 8,000 hotel rooms and more than 1,000 residential units across 22 islands and six inland sites. Red Sea International Airport will serve as the primary gateway for residents and visitors.
