Home Industry Hospitality Rosewood confirms opening in Saudi’s Amaala It is being designed by architecture firm, ACPV Architects Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel by Gulf Business March 28, 2023 Rosewood Hotels and Resorts is set to open a new property in Saudi Arabia’s Amaala development in the north-west of the kingdom. Rosewood Amaala will feature 110 guest rooms and suites, and 25 Rosewood Residences too. The property will offer several culinary experiences including fine dining, casual eateries and club lounges. It is being designed by architecture firm, ACPV Architects Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel. Specific attention in being paid to ensure that the hotel’s design doesn’t disrupt the natural flora and fauna. As a regenerative destination, Amaala will be powered by 100 per cent renewable energy and aims to have zero-carbon footprint and zero waste to landfill as well. The endangered Hawksbill and Green Turtles have nesting sites around the beaches of the upcoming Rosewood Amaala hotel, and hence all construction and design have been centered around ensuring the turtle population is left unaffected. Rosewood Amaala will be surrounded by the world’s fourth-largest reef. To protect the coral reefs that wrap around the resort, the property will also provide two rock pools, allowing guests safe access to the water and sand. “We are deeply honoured to partner with Red Sea Global on Rosewood Amaala and work together to offer a more regenerative model of hospitality for future generations,” says Sonia Cheng, chief executive officer at Rosewood Hotel Group. A highlight at Rosewood Amaala will be its wellness offering of the Asaya Spa which will also feature private treatment pavilions.
