For years, AMAALA existed in the imagination — a place whispered about by architects, wellness gurus, and design insiders as the next frontier of luxury living. Now, for the first time, that vision is tangible. Red Sea Global has opened sales for AMAALA Residences, giving a select few the chance to own a home in what might be the world’s boldest experiment in wellbeing and design.
Set between the Hijaz mountains and the crystalline waters of Saudi Arabia’s northwestern coast, these residences aren’t just homes; they’re prototypes for a new way of living — one that treats architecture as therapy and landscape as legacy.
“Saudi Arabia is becoming a place people are proud to call home,” says John Pagano, group CEO of Red Sea Global. “At AMAALA, we’re creating a community defined by wellbeing, privacy, and purpose.” It’s an idea that lands somewhere between real estate and philosophy.

The first wave of properties reads like a gallery of modern icons. Clinique La Prairie Residences, designed by John Heah, marks the first time the legendary Swiss longevity brand has offered homes for sale — 13 serene retreats woven through a lush oasis, each with direct access to a medical-grade health resort. Nearby, Nammos Residences brings the hedonism of the Aegean to the Red Sea: terrazzo floors, blue-green interiors, and balconies that seem to inhale the horizon.
For collectors of design, Rosewood Residences may be the crown jewel — 26 sculpted villas by Italian masters Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, culminating in the Rosewood Iconic Villa, a five-bedroom architectural marvel on its own private island, accessible only by a natural bridge. And then there’s Andar Club Residences, offering golf-side villas that feel more Riviera than desert, complete with sweeping sea views.
But this isn’t a gated fantasy. It’s a functioning ecosystem designed around regeneration. Every property is powered by 100 percent renewable energy; every development is tied to Red Sea Global’s plan to achieve a 30 percent net conservation benefit by 2040. It’s a radical premise: that you can own a piece of paradise without depleting it.
At the heart of it all is the Marina Village, where residents might step from an art gallery into a yacht club, or spend the afternoon at the Corallium Marine Life Institute — a research and conservation hub designed by Foster + Partners. Luxury here is less about consumption than connection: to the ocean, to culture, to oneself.
AMAALA’s first resorts open later this year, but the residences mark something bigger — a cultural shift. In an age when “home” is more fluid than ever, these properties offer a rare sense of permanence within a living, breathing vision of the future. Owning at AMAALA isn’t just buying real estate; it’s buying into an idea — that wellbeing, design, and sustainability can finally live under the same roof.
