Equinox Resort AMAALA has officially opened its doors on the Red Sea coast in Saudi Arabia, marking the brand’s second hotel globally and its first outside the United States. Developed by Red Sea Global (RSG), the property is situated at Marina Village in Triple Bay, introducing high-performance wellness and recovery facilities to the destination.
The resort features 128 rooms and suites across six accommodation categories, including two penthouse suites, alongside 21 branded residences. Foster + Partners designed the overall architecture, while Rockwell Group created the interior spaces. The architectural structure draws inspiration from the natural coastline, marine environment, and surrounding mountains.
“The opening of Equinox Resort AMAALA introduces a distinctive new dimension to the destination’s wellness offering. Equinox has built a global reputation around high-performance living, and bringing that expertise to AMAALA reinforces our ambition to create a destination where wellness, sport and luxury come together in a truly differentiated way.”
John Pagano, Group CEO of Red Sea Global
Equinox Resort AMAALA Wellness Facilities
The resort includes 704 square meters of indoor and outdoor training space, creating the largest fitness facility currently in AMAALA. Guest accommodations incorporate Equinox Hotels’ sleep science platform. This platform uses circadian lighting calibrated for internal body clocks, acoustic isolation to minimize disturbance, and precision climate control.
In addition, the 1,602 square meter spa features the proprietary Equinox X Circuit. This setup provides seven specialized recovery stages that incorporate several advanced health-tech options. Guests can access treatments such as cryotherapy, infrared sauna, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, hydrotherapy, and contrast temperature therapies to support recovery through health tech solutions.
Recreation and Dining Options
Guests have access to four outdoor swimming pools across the grounds. These include a dedicated lap pool, leisure pools, and a rooftop magnesium salt pool that overlooks Triple Bay, the AMAALA Marina, and the AMAALA Yacht Club.
Furthermore, the property offers four distinct dining venues centered on healthy nutrition. Guests can dine at Mint + Co, Soho Souk, Sama Ai, and EQX Den, each serving culinary options tailored to active living.
AMAALA Destination Development
Equinox Resort AMAALA contributes to the broader hospitality development at AMAALA along the northwestern coast of Saudi Arabia. Once fully developed, AMAALA will feature more than 1,600 hotel rooms across nine separate resorts.
Red Sea Global continues expanding its regional infrastructure to support national economic diversification. The developer oversees multiple tourism assets, including Thuwal Private Retreat and upgrade works at AlWajh International Airport.
