Red Sea Development Company CEO John Pagano said: "Shurayrah Island is the gateway to the Red Sea Project, so it is critical that it sets exceptional standards for innovative engineering and sustainable design; not only in our destination, but also globally, and this is achieved not only by protecting the environment, but also by adopting a regenerative approach to development."

John Pagano, CEO of The Red Sea Development Company, said.

The design vision for Sharira Island is centered around biodiversity considerations. Mangroves and other habitats will be preserved to form natural lines of defense against erosion, while new habitats will be developed through landscaped gardens to enhance the island's natural state.

Eleven hotels on the island

Shuraira Island will feature 11 resorts and hotels operated by some of the world's most renowned hospitality brands. The landscape will be utilized to create a dramatic effect, as all of the island's hotels and villas are single-story structures that blend into the sand dunes, ensuring that the surrounding landscape is preserved unobstructed. and create a sense of mystery for guests as the island slowly unfolds. The design of the resorts and hotels has also taken into account the needs of travelers; for example, there are no internal corridors, as the demand for spacious and secluded spaces has increased after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.19 pandemic.

Use light building materials

These resorts will be constructed using lightweight, low thermal mass building materials manufactured off-site, resulting in greater energy efficiency and less impact on the environment.
Studio Director at Foster + Partners, Gerard Evenden, said Gerard Evenden said: “Our vision for Shurayrah Island was inspired by its natural state. The hotels are designed to look like driftwood that has washed up on the shore and settled among the sand dunes."

The materials we use and their low environmental impact help protect the island's pristine environment, while the additions help enhance its existing natural features - hence the name “Coral Bloom” (meaning "blooming coral").
