Desert resort escape in Saudi Arabia

We invite you on an exciting journey into seldom-experienced nature, wildlife, and culture. Located along the historic incense trade route against the backdrop of desert plains and the Hijaz Mountains, Six Senses Southern Dunes, The Red Sea resort pays homage to Nabataean architectural heritage and majestic desert surroundings while introducing our trademark crafted experiences and wellness approach. By setting new standards in sustainability and desert hospitality, we hope to write the next chapter in the region's story, as Saudi Arabia drops its pin on the global tourism map.
