As Red Sea Global tourism development projects near completion, major partnerships are being set up to position the world’s most ambitious tourism development on the global map. One such partnership by Triple Bay Marina at Amaala with Monaco Marina Management in luxury yachting.

Ultra-luxury wellness destination, Amaala, one of Red Sea Global’s (RSG) flagship regenerative tourism developments, has announced a partnership with Monaco Marina Management (M3) to establish RSG’s Amaala Yacht Club which will become one of the world’s premier yachting destinations.

Located along Saudi Arabia’s north-western coast, the highly anticipated destination will be the first global integrated family wellness destination and is set to welcome guests in 2025. According to a press statement, a host of the world’s most recognizable brands in the wellness and luxury lifestyle industry have already confirmed partnerships, including Clinique La Prairie Health Resort, Jayasom Wellness Resorts and Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas. In total, the destination will consist of eight resorts and over 1,200 keys upon completion.

Amaala Yacht Club will be found at the heart of the destination’s signature attraction, the Triple Bay Marina, a brand new state-of-the-art facility with a free-flowing structure that seamlessly integrates land and sea. Designed by leading architecture firm HKS and sitting in a 10-hectare basin, the chic four-storeyed Amaala Yacht Club boasts a 120-berth marina and will host yachting events as well as its own sailing academy for members, cadets and youth.

“The Amaala Yacht Club, with its signature architecture inspired by the rock formations that created our Triple Bay millennia ago, will be the stunning centerpiece of our marina development. With M3’s support, our facilities, operations, services and amenities will ensure our Yacht Club honors the striking landscape in which it is set and makes Amaala one of the world’s most distinguished yachting destinations,” says John Pagano, Group CEO of Red Sea Global.

The partnership was confirmed in a signing ceremony at the Monaco Yacht Show, and aims to work towards earning the destination “La Belle Classe Destinations” certification, operated by the world-famous Yacht Club de Monaco. This award recognises a deep understanding of maritime ethics, etiquette and environmental protection, a core value at Amaala which will be powered by 100 pc renewable energy once fully operational.

“What excites me most about this partnership is the opportunity for training and knowledge transfer. Empowering Saudi nationals has always been at the center of our regenerative approach, and with our marina employees receiving best-in-class training both in Monaco and at Amaala, we are confident that we are fulfilling our promise to create destinations by the people and for the people of Saudi Arabia,” adds Pagano.

“Red Sea Global’s vision for regenerative tourism closely mirrors our mission to promote sustainable yachting. We’re excited to help bring these ambitions to life and work together to put the Amaala Yacht Club and Saudi Arabia on the global yachting destination. Moreover, M3 being part of the collective ‘Monaco, Capital of Advanced Yachting’ approach, we are glad to spread the initiatives of the Monaco Principality as a spearhead for responsible yachting,” says José Marco Casellini, CEO of Monaco Marina Management.
