A slice of paradise nestled along pristine shores, Six Senses Southern Dunes, The Red Sea, transports you to a realm where luxury, nature, and unparalleled hospitality converge to create an experience unlike any other. We strive to take guests on a journey into seldom-experienced nature, wildlife, and culture, setting new standards in sustainability and desert hospitality as Saudi Arabia drops its pin on the global tourism map.

At the heart of our property lies a commitment to providing our guests with an unforgettable escape from the ordinary. Each aspect of the resort has been meticulously designed to reflect our dedication to excellence and to ensure that every moment of the stay is imbued with comfort, beauty, and tranquility.

Our accommodation offerings range from the charming Wadi Rooms to the spacious Wadi Suites with private terraces, a One-Bedroom Pool Villa with a private swimming pool and sun loungers, a Two-Bedroom Pool Villa that boasts a walk-in closet with majestic mountain peaks, and a Three-Bedroom Pool Villa that fits up to six people with a private cinema room; each room provides a yoga mat, a pillow menu with natural mat organic mattress, sustainable bathroom amenities and more.

But what truly sets us apart are our key pillars: sustainability, wellness, experiences, art and design and culinary excellence. These pillars are not just guiding principles; they are the foundation upon which every aspect of our resort is built.
