Red Sea Global to develop yachting...

Four-storey Amaala Yacht Club features a 120-berth marina and can accommodate yachting events and regattas

Red Sea Global (RSG) is partnering with Monaco Marina Management (M3) to establish Amaala Yacht Club as one of the world’s premier yachting destinations.

The partnership with M3, privileged partner of 'La Belle Classe Destinations', a certification owned and operated by the world-famous Yacht Club de Monaco, was confirmed in a signing ceremony at the Monaco Yacht Show, hosted at the Saudi Red Sea Authority exhibition stand.

La Belle Classe Destinations certification is awarded to yachting destinations that demonstrate a deep understanding of maritime ethics and etiquette, environmental protection, design aesthetics, educational and economic impact. Recipients become part of a global network of excellence, committed to building the future of sailing and yachting while maintaining these essential values.

The agreement also covers developing an exceptional event calendar, creating a sailing academy, supporting training and recruitment, and providing seasonal, reciprocal opportunities for members, cadets and local youth.

Designed by leading architecture firm HKS and sitting in a 10-hectare basin, the ultra-luxurious, four-storey Amaala Yacht Club features a 120-berth marina and can accommodate yachting events and regattas.

Red Sea Global group CEO John Pagano said: “The Amaala Yacht Club, with its signature architecture inspired by the rock formations that created our Triple Bay millennia ago, will be the stunning centrepiece of our marina development.

"With M3’s support, our facilities, operations, services and amenities will ensure our Yacht Club honours the striking landscape in which it is set and makes Amaala one of the world’s most distinguished yachting destinations.”

Monaco Marina Management CEO José Marco Casellini added: “Red Sea Global’s vision for regenerative tourism closely mirrors our mission to promote sustainable yachting. We’re excited to help bring these ambitions to life and work together to put the Amaala Yacht Club and Saudi Arabia on the global yachting destination."

Phase One of Amaala, focused on the Triple Bay masterplan, is well underway, with the first guests set to be welcomed in 2025.

Once complete, Amaala will be home to more than 3,900 hotel rooms across 29 hotels, and approximately 1,200 luxury residential villas, apartments and estate homes, supporting high-end retail, fine dining, wellness, equestrian and recreational facilities.
