Lahaq .. The New Jewel of the Red Sea
The Red Sea International Company, a subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund, announced the commencement of construction on Lahaq Island>
one of the most prominent islands in the second phase of the Red Sea Destination project.
Lahaq is the first private residential island in the Kingdom, combining a luxurious lifestyle, sustainable design, and a living experience surrounded by pristine nature.
Projects under construction: Bridge, resorts, and sports facilities
Lahaq Island is witnessing intensive development, including the construction of two luxury resorts, upscale residential units, and various recreational and sports facilities, meeting the highest standards of luxury.
A water bridge is currently under construction, connecting the island to the mainland, similar to the Shura Island bridge, enhancing accessibility and achieving integrated infrastructure.
Lahaq Island: A private living experience in the heart of nature
the Island is located within a stunning archipelago of 92 islands on the west coast of the Kingdom, surrounded by one of the largest coral reefs in the world and home to a rare biodiversity of more than 2,000 marine species.
The island covers an area of 400 hectares (4 million square meters) and boasts white sandy beaches, clear turquoise waters, and vibrant coral reefs, making it a unique destination for living and recreation.
Exclusive Ownership Opportunities Amidst Natural Beauty
Lahaq is the first private residential development within the Red Sea Project. Its architectural designs are inspired by the surrounding environment—land, sea, and sky—with natural materials such as local wood used on balconies and patios.
The island also boasts a 115-berth marina, sailing and water sports centers, a tennis club, a fitness center, sports courts, an 18-hole golf course, and nature trails for explorers.
A Vibrant Life of Restaurants, Markets, and Hospitality
Lahaq features a vibrant souk, rich in sights and flavors, offering a selection of high-end products.
Residents can also enjoy several beach clubs and a variety of culinary experiences, from fine dining to tranquil beachfront dining, focusing on fresh local and international ingredients.
The island’s two resorts cater to two types of visitors:
One is dedicated to wellness and recreation, and the other is designed for active and adventurous travelers.
Sustainable Design… Aligned with Vision 2030
The island was designed by international architecture firm Foster + Partners with an architectural concept called “Forever Garden,” which emphasizes the use of abundant vegetation and green spaces to create an integrated and sustainable environment.
The design is headlined by a unique architectural element known as “The Ring,” an 800-meter-diameter circular structure housing luxury apartments, hospitality, and retail facilities, surrounded by stunning beaches overlooking the island’s lagoon.
Regenerative Tourism… The Heart of the Project
The vision for Lahaq Island is fully aligned with the concept of “regenerative tourism,” formulated by the Red Sea Development Company.
This concept goes beyond environmental conservation to encompass the enhancement of ecosystems.
Prominent initiatives include:
Planting 50 million mangrove trees
Protecting and restoring coral reefs
100% reliance on renewable energy
Lahaq and Saudi Vision 2030
The Lahaq Island project represents a practical model for Saudi Vision 2030‘s aspirations to diversify the economy and enhance quality of life.
By developing sustainable tourism destinations, it enables Saudis, residents, and tourists to experience a luxurious lifestyle in a pristine natural environment.
The Red Sea Development Company aims to develop 50 tourist resorts by 2030.
These include more than 8,000 hotel rooms and 1,000 residential units spread across 22 islands and six inland sites, making it the region’s most important tourism destination and a milestone in the future of global hospitality.
