Sheybarah Hotel is a 73 key hyper luxury resort located on the uninhabited Sheybarah Island located 30-minutes by boat from the mainland. The site is home to a highly diverse environment with dense mangroves, desert flora and some of the most pristine coral reefs in the world. The primary goal of the project is how best to preserve and enhance the biodiversity and the surrounding habitat while offering a luxurious experience that will attract visitors from around the globe and elevating Saudi Arabia as a top tier marine eco-tourism destination.
Sheybarah Resort is an LEED Platinum off grid, zero energy, zero water development that widely promotes sustainable design in every aspect of its environment to ultimately create a hospitality benchmark for regenerative developments.
It’s powered by a centralised solar farm and fresh water is supplied from a solar powered desalination plant. The recycling of waste material takes place on the island which minimises the need to bring or remove materials from the island. The solar plant supports over 140 guests and 260 staff for all needs including transportation from the mainland.
The entire infrastructural backbone of the project forms part of a visitor experience where guests can be exposed to and learn about the approach that goes into making the project a truly self-sustained hospitality development. This type of development encapsulates our core values in creating sustainable built typologies for the future.
Construction has commenced and anticipate completion for the hotel will be 2023.
