Red Sea Global (RSG), the regenerative tourism developer behind some of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s most ambitious destinations, has opened Jayasom Wellness Resort AMAALA, introducing a distinctive holistic health offering to the Red Sea coast. The announcement, released via the Saudi Press Agency, marks the global debut of the Jayasom wellness brand and adds a new dimension to AMAALA’s growing portfolio of world-class hospitality experiences. Located on Triple Bay’s largest cove, the resort comprises 153 keys alongside 24 residences, forming part of AMAALA’s secluded wellness core where nature and hospitality converge in a setting designed for reflection and renewal.
Context and Background
AMAALA is one of the flagship destinations being developed by Red Sea Global, the developer wholly owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund. Situated along the northwestern coast near the Tabuk mountains, the destination is being delivered in phases as part of the Kingdom’s broader strategy to diversify its economy and establish itself as a leading global tourism and wellness hub.
The opening of Jayasom Wellness Resort AMAALA represents the seventh resort to open at AMAALA, reflecting the steady progress of the destination’s phased delivery. In the coming months, a further two resorts are expected to join an expanding portfolio that will include branded residences, integrated wellness facilities, a marina, curated retail, a marine life experiential institute, and destination dining.
Key Details
Designed by Heah & Co., with interiors by Studio Carter, the resort brings together Arab and Eastern healing traditions alongside contemporary, evidence-based practices. This philosophy reflects centuries of knowledge exchange across cultures, including contributions from pioneering scholars such as Ibn Sina (Avicenna). The wellness offering spans holistic health, fitness, physiotherapy, nutrition, spa, and beauty, supported by consultations, movement sessions, and daily activities tailored to individual goals such as women’s health, couples and family wellbeing, and health, weight, and lifestyle reset programs.
“As we launch the first Jayasom globally, we are bringing a new dimension to AMAALA’s wellness offering,” said Red Sea Global Group CEO John Pagano. “Its dedicated, all-inclusive wellness retreats combine contemporary, evidence-based practices with Arab and Eastern healing traditions. Its personalized approach complements our ambition for AMAALA to become the world’s most comprehensive wellness destination supporting guests on their long-term health journeys in an exceptional natural environment.”
Nutrition forms an integral part of the guest experience, with eight dining venues designed to support balanced lifestyles. The restaurants and cafés offer cuisines inspired by regional and international traditions, emphasizing fresh, seasonal ingredients and nutritious dishes. Interactive culinary experiences and specialty concepts further encourage guests to explore the role of food in healthy living.
The resort is divided into an adults-only wellness zone, providing a sanctuary focused on holistic therapies, physiotherapy, fitness, and Pilates, and a dedicated family experience featuring age-specific facilities and activities designed to support connection, movement, and healthy habits. The Jayasom Residences comprise a limited collection of two- to four-bedroom beachfront villas with private pools and expansive sea-facing terraces. Residents enjoy exclusive privileges including complimentary wellness retreats, preferred access to treatments and dining, and invitations to Jayasom events worldwide.
Nestled between the Red Sea and the dramatic Tabuk mountains, the resort offers opportunities for hiking, trail running, cycling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling, and diving. Along with the rest of the destination, Jayasom Wellness Resort AMAALA is fully powered by solar energy and supports AMAALA’s ambition to achieve a 30 percent net conservation gain by 2040.
Implications and Impact
The opening of Jayasom Wellness Resort AMAALA underscores the Kingdom’s increasing prominence in the global wellness tourism market, a sector valued in the hundreds of billions of dollars annually. By combining regenerative design principles, renewable energy, and culturally rooted healing traditions, the resort positions Saudi Arabia as a destination capable of competing with established wellness hubs in Europe and Southeast Asia.
For international travelers, the resort offers a compelling proposition: a fully integrated wellness retreat set within one of the world’s most pristine coastal environments, with direct access to marine and mountain activities. The emphasis on solar power and conservation aligns with growing consumer demand for sustainable travel experiences, while the presence of branded residences signals long-term confidence in the destination’s appeal.
The development also carries significant economic implications for the Tabuk region, creating hospitality jobs, supporting local supply chains, and attracting high-value visitors. As more resorts come online, AMAALA is expected to contribute meaningfully to Saudi Arabia’s tourism targets, including the goal of welcoming 150 million visitors annually by 2030.
Vision 2030 Alignment
The launch of Jayasom Wellness Resort AMAALA directly supports Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 objectives, which seek to diversify the national economy away from oil dependence, expand the tourism sector, and enhance quality of life for citizens and visitors alike. As part of the Public Investment Fund’s portfolio, Red Sea Global and AMAALA exemplify the Kingdom’s commitment to sustainable development, cultural heritage, and world-class hospitality. With each new resort opening, Saudi Arabia moves closer to realizing its ambition of becoming a global leader in regenerative tourism, demonstrating that economic growth and environmental stewardship can advance together.
