The Red Sea’s Coast Is Getting A Major Facelift

Now that all the Russian Oligarchs have had their boats nicked off them, it’s up to Saudi Arabia to bring its A-game for super-luxurious yacht developments. They have a much better climate for it anyway.

Saudi Vision 2030 is a strategic project to diversify the country’s dependence on oil money to other sectors and strengthen public service infrastructure. One of their flagship projects is the new ultra-luxury Triple Bay Yacht Club on their north-western coast. The design is all about making you gawk so hard your eyeballs fall out. Set within the Triple Bay Marina, of the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Nature Reserve, AMAALA’s new Yacht Club features a terrace restaurant, infinity pool deck and rooftop cabana lounge across its 7,900 square metres.

“We anticipate that AMAALA will become an international hub for luxury yachting, and as such, the yacht club required a world-class design, influenced by the surrounding natural elements and Arabic heritage, and underpinned by our commitment to sustainability,” said John Pagano, CEO, AMAALA.

Oh yes, apart from all the infinity pools and jaw dropping architecture, it will have 120 berths for yachts up to 130m and also include a porte cochere for yachts that require a little more discreet arrival for their passengers, with the entrance set within an arch that forms a shaded plaza and frames dramatic views to the Red Sea. The area has a mirrored vaulted ceiling over a star-lit floor which creates an alternative night sky for guests in the evening.

Deepwater superyacht berths, fuel dock and personalised service ensures Triple Bay’s future rating as a destination for visiting superyachts, international regattas and domestic cruising.

The entire area of Triple Bay is going to be a thriving hub of activity over the next couple years as it’s developed into a global wellness hub inspired by the Red Sea. Over 1,000 workers are already on site, with $2 billion in contracts already inked.
