Umluj, Saudi Arabia
Six Senses Southern Dunes Red Sea
Desert Resort Escape
What it is
Six Senses Southern Dunes, The Red Sea, is a secluded desert sanctuary nestled within Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Red Sea Project.
What it isn't
This isn’t a bustling city hotel or a traditional beach resort.
What we think
Six Senses Southern Dunes isn't just a place to stay—it's an invitation to disconnect and reconnect. The resort's design pays homage to the region's Nabataean heritage, with structures that mimic the natural contours of the desert. Inside, guests find cloudlike organic mattresses, sustainable amenities, and yoga mats, ensuring a restful and rejuvenating stay. Culinary offerings include Bariya, an all-day dining restaurant serving regional and international cuisine with a focus on well-being, and Merkaz, a brew bar and restaurant offering snacks and plant-based Arabic tapas. The resort also features a Six Senses Spa & Wellness center, offering a range of treatments and wellness programs.
You're here because
You seek a transformative escape that combines luxury with a deep connection to nature and culture. You desire privacy, exclusivity, and a chance to experience the untouched beauty of the Red Sea in a setting that feels both indulgent and authentic.
The Moment
