Red Sea Global announced the resort's opening on October 31, 2026, adding conference and business event facilities to Saudi Arabia's Red Sea destination. The property is located near a marina accommodating 159 yachts.

Red Sea Global announced the opening of Grand Hyatt The Red Sea on Shura Island on October 31, 2026, as part of The Red Sea tourism destination on Saudi Arabia's western coast.

The opening adds new hotel capacity to the destination, with a particular focus on attracting meetings, conferences and events alongside leisure tourism.

The resort features 430 rooms, suites and villas, together with a selection of restaurants and family-oriented facilities.

It offers more than 2,400 square metres of dedicated event space, including a main ballroom covering 1,390 square metres and another venue measuring 683 square metres, in addition to meeting rooms and outdoor areas.

These facilities are designed to accommodate conferences, corporate meetings and social occasions, expanding the range of tourism demand targeted by The Red Sea destination.

The resort is located near Shura Island Marina, which features 159 berths for yachts measuring up to 125 metres in length.

Its location also provides access to shopping facilities, restaurants and other leisure attractions across the island.

This integration positions the resort within a wider tourism ecosystem rather than relying exclusively on its own hotel facilities.

Red Sea Global is responsible for developing The Red Sea destination and is the company that announced the resort's opening.

The company is led by Group CEO John Pagano, who stated in the opening announcement that the resort strengthens the destination's capacity to host international conferences, corporate meetings and major events.

Grand Hyatt is the hospitality brand under which the resort operates, forming part of the global portfolio of Hyatt Hotels Corporation.

The published opening announcement does not disclose the resort's standalone investment value or detailed ownership structure. Therefore, assigning a specific investment figure to the property would require additional official disclosure.

According to the developer, the latest opening brought the number of resorts welcoming guests across The Red Sea destination to 12.

The addition of substantial event facilities reflects a strategy to diversify tourism demand by targeting corporate travel, conferences and special occasions rather than relying solely on leisure stays.

However, the resort's actual commercial impact will depend on booking volumes, occupancy rates and the number of events hosted.

These performance indicators were not disclosed in the opening announcement.
