There’s a fresh breeze blowing along Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast, and it’s carrying big news. A brand-new luxury resort is landing at Amaala – and this one comes with serious muscles. Meet Equinox Resort Amaala, where fitness, lifestyle, and a splash of indulgence come together in a bold new setting.
Equinox, the fitness-focused hospitality brand known for sleek spaces and hardcore workouts, is teaming up with Amaala, one of Saudi Arabia’s headline-making tourism projects. Together, they’re launching a resort that’s also a place to move, sweat, recover, and repeat.
The Equinox Resort will sit in the heart of Amaala Marina Village, a new development designed by Foster + Partners. Stylish streets, sea views, and enough high-end boutiques and restaurants to make even the most seasoned jet-setter pause mid-scroll.
At the center of it all is a resort that seems designed to impress even the most wellness-weary traveler. With panoramic views over Hijaz Cove and the marina (yes, there will be yachts), the location ticks all the boxes: sun, sea, and just the right amount of spectacle.
Don’t expect cold minimalism or cookie-cutter hotel vibes. The Equinox Resort arrives with a dramatic floating canopy entrance and four open-air courtyards inspired by traditional regional architecture. Water features and greenery are strategically placed to beat the heat — so even in peak summer, you won’t feel like you’re walking through a blow dryer.
With 128 rooms — including two penthouses — the resort is aiming to be a place where guests don’t just relax, they reset. There’s a rooftop magnesium salt pool for the detox crowd, a spa that promises the usual pampering, and the signature Equinox Fitness Club, which won’t skimp on weights or wattage.
And if beach lounging is more your pace, the Beach Club will be ready to deliver those toes-in-sand moments.
There’s no confirmed opening date yet, but the buzz is already building. As Amaala continues to position itself as a global luxury destination, the arrival of Equinox adds a distinct flavor to the mix — active, stylish, and just a bit bold.
