Laheq Island: The Red Sea’s Newest Jewel of Sustainable Luxury

Design Forward. Nature First. Welcome to Laheq Island.

In the ever-evolving tapestry of Saudi Arabia’s giga-projects, a new chapter unfolds with the unveiling of Laheq Island—a visionary development by Red Sea Global (RSG). Scheduled to welcome its first residents and guests in 2028, Laheq stands as the inaugural private residential island within the expansive Red Sea destination, marking a significant stride in the Kingdom’s commitment to sustainable luxury living.

A Harmonious Blend of Design and Nature

Spanning 400 hectares, Laheq Island is a testament to thoughtful design and environmental stewardship. At its heart lies “The Ring”, an 800-meter-wide circular structure conceptualized by the renowned Foster + Partners. This architectural marvel encircles a serene lagoon, housing luxury apartments, two boutique hotels, and a vibrant souk. Elevated above the water, The Ring integrates green roofs, shaded canopies, and pergolas, creating a living landscape that evolves with time .

The island’s master plan, aptly named “Forever Garden”, envisions a resort community where lush vegetation flourishes, supported by recycled water systems and sustainable infrastructure. By concentrating development at the center, the design preserves the island’s pristine perimeters, allowing native ecosystems to thrive undisturbed.

Elevated Living Amidst Natural Splendor

Beyond its architectural prowess, Laheq Island offers an array of world-class amenities tailored for both residents and visitors. These include a 115-berth marina, a beach club, sailing and watersports schools, a racket club, and an 18-hole golf course with a clubhouse. The residential offerings range from luxury apartments within The Ring to expansive villas along the shoreline, all unified by a cohesive architectural language of layered timber geometries .

A Commitment to Regenerative Tourism

Laheq Island is more than a luxury destination; it embodies RSG’s dedication to regenerative tourism. As part of its broader environmental initiatives, RSG has pledged to plant 50 million mangrove trees and actively regenerate coral reefs and marine habitats surrounding the island. All facilities and resorts within the Red Sea destination, including Laheq, will operate entirely on renewable energy, setting a new global benchmark for sustainable development.

Redefining the Future of Luxury Living

As Saudi Arabia continues its transformative journey under Vision 2030, Laheq Island emerges as a beacon of what the future holds—a harmonious blend of luxury, sustainability, and cultural authenticity. For discerning travelers and residents alike, Laheq offers not just a place to stay, but a lifestyle that resonates with the rhythms of nature and the aspirations of a nation.
