Each day unfolds from a personal retreat where spacious rooms and suites, designed as private sanctuaries, invite guests to wake to the soft sounds of the sea. From serene Classic King Rooms to expansive beachfront suites, every accommodation offers a place to pause, reflect, or prepare for the day’s explorations.
Immersion begins naturally as guests step into the resort’s rhythm, where moments of discovery and togetherness unfold across sun-drenched beaches and tranquil lagoons. Days invite wandering along pristine trails, guided nature walks, or gliding across calm waters on a paddleboard or sailboat, discovering vibrant marine life and the hidden corners of Shura Island. On land, tennis, padel, and beach volleyball courts offer friendly competition, while offsite excursions open the door to inland and seafaring adventures. Families can further immerse younger guests in the Planet Trekkers Kids Club programme, where playful exploration meets hands-on learning, while adults enjoy quiet reflection or shared adventure.
Dining at InterContinental The Red Sea Resort becomes an experience within itself, where every meal invites guests to savour the moment. From the rich aromas and Levantine-Moroccan flavours of Darein, to the vibrant, playful coffee and dessert creations at Murrma, and the fresh Mediterranean dishes at Chimes, each dining destination offers a unique way to celebrate time together. Throughout their stay guests can enjoy leisurely breakfasts and indulgent pastries, intimate dinners and thoughtfully prepared surprises, all crafted under the expert guidance of Executive Chefs Feras Sharif AlNatsheh and Executive Pastry Chef Raamin Samiyi, whose culinary expertise transforms each dish into a memorable experience.
As the year’s final evening approaches, the resort’s New Year’s Eve celebration becomes the highlight of the stay. In an atmosphere of warmth and excitement, guests gather for a gala dinner accompanied by live performances that lead up to the midnight toast. The celebration is included for resort guests and priced at SAR 626 for visitors joining from Turtle Bay Village or neighbouring hotels and cities. Laughter and conversation flow under the open sky, and as the clock strikes midnight, the new year begins with memories to cherish with family and friends. The following morning, guests are invited to continue the celebration with a curated brunch featuring vibrant live stations, refreshing juices, and a relaxed pace that encourages guests to ease gently into the year ahead.
For those seeking personal rejuvenation, the resort’s wellness offering provides a serene counterpoint to the days of exploration. Morning yoga or meditation at the Mind & Soul Pavilion allows the body and mind to awaken in harmony with the surrounding nature, while SPA InterContinental offers 90-minute treatments for two at a special seasonal rate, blending modern therapies and traditional techniques to refresh and restore. The combination of gentle activity, mindful indulgence, and moments of relaxation ensures that every guest leaves feeling renewed.
From sunrise to sunset, from playful adventures to moments of quiet reflection, InterContinental The Red Sea Resort offers a New Year’s experience that stays long after guests depart. Each shared meal, every joyful laugh, and every tranquil moment is part of a journey that celebrates discovery, family, and the simple delight of welcoming a new year.
