Shura Island, a man-made archipelago rising from the northern Red Sea near Umluj, is one of the more ambitious blanks that Saudi Arabia's giga-project era has handed to architects — and Foster + Partners have answered it at Miraval The Red Sea with a resort whose formal language draws on three ecosystems at once: coral reef, desert plateau, and mangrove forest. Due to open in 2026, the property spreads across three million square feet of coastline, its low-lying pavilions built from terracotta rammed earth and finished in sand-toned render, the massing kept horizontal so that nothing interrupts the sky. Arrival is through a curved porte-cochère of timber-beamed ceilings and planted courtyard walks, palm groves flanking a boardwalk that dissolves into native plantings rather than manicured lawn. Rockwell Group's interiors find their most dramatic expression in the resort's restaurant, where a ceiling of interlocking plaster arches — white forms blooming from terracotta walls like abstracted coral — frames circular banquettes upholstered in burnt orange and forest green. Guest rooms and villas carry that warmth into a quieter key: walnut headboards with sculpted arched surrounds, raffia wall panels, pendants in woven linen, and floor-to-ceiling glazed doors opening onto private decks above impossibly turquoise water. The lagoon pool, its edges softened into organic curves with planted islands rising from the water, feels less like resort infrastructure and more like a landscape that simply arrived. The 40,000-square-foot Life in Balance Spa, the largest on the island, extends the biophilic premise into wellness with 39 treatment rooms.
