Red Sea Global announces ‘Nammos Resort AMAALA’

Red Sea Global, the developer behind regenerative tourism destinations AMAALA and The Red Sea, has unveiled Nammos Resort AMAALA, setting a new standard for luxury in the region. This partnership marks Nammos Hotels and Resorts’ first hotel outside of Greece, bringing its iconic Cycladic elegance and world-renowned hospitality to Saudi Arabia.

Located at the stunning Triple Bay and offering breathtaking ocean and Hijaz Cove views, Nammos Resort AMAALA will welcome guests later this year, promising an unparalleled experience defined by sophisticated design, exceptional amenities, and a harmonious blend of Mykonian and Hijazi influences.

Nammos Resort AMAALA is the second resort under Nammos Hotel and Resorts brand portfolio. It is part of ADMO Lifestyle Holding, a joint venture between Alpha Dhabi Holding and Monterock International.

The luxury property will have 110 keys with ocean views and 20 branded residences with waterfront views of the AMAALA Marina and Corallium Marine Life Institute. The property features a luxury spa, offering serene rejuvenation, a state-of-the-art fitness center for health and wellness enthusiasts and a Children’s Club, perfect for family-friendly experiences.

Nammos Resort AMAALA includes four dining venues: Horizon Bar with sunset views of the Red Sea; Nammos Restaurant; Nalu Restaurant, an all-day dining restaurant blending Latin American and Asian flavors with cascading pools that lead to the resort’s main beach; and Omnia Restaurant, an international restaurant featuring a rotating line up of guest chefs and brands.

The property’s design masterfully blends Greek and Saudi aesthetics. Crafted by Foster + Partners, the exterior draws inspiration from traditional Hijazi architecture, while the interiors, designed by Lazaro Rosa Violan Studio from Spain and Elastic Architects from Greece, capture the timeless elegance of Mykonos’ Cycladic style. Signature elements include iconic terrazzo flooring, textured walls, traditional archways, and a refined color palette of aquamarine, white, and gold. Accentuated with tarnished gold finishes and soft marble, the result is a contemporary Mediterranean ambiance.

Renowned for its beachfront bliss, Nammos Restaurant AMAALA is located on the exclusive Hijaz Island off the resort’s coast. Offering unparalleled sunset views over the Red Sea, the restaurant promises ultimate privacy with its cabanas. Accessible via boat from the Marina Village jetty, the club is exclusive to guests staying at AMAALA’s resorts. The highlight is an infinity pool that seemingly floats over the Red Sea, offering breathtaking views of the sunset.

Petros Stathis, chairman of Nammos World and vice chairman of ADMO Lifestyle Holding, said: “The opening of Nammos Resort AMAALA marks a defining milestone for our Nammos brand, a full-scale, all-encompassing resort experience in one of the most anticipated luxury travel destinations in the world. We have the utmost confidence in the visionary leadership of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, whose shared commitment to excellence is set to redefine the global hospitality landscape for decades to come. We are simply honored to be part of this extraordinary journey and look forward to the remarkable chapters that lie ahead at Red Sea.”

Sanjay Nandi, CEO of ADMO Lifestyle Holding, added: “Nammos Resort AMAALA marks a significant milestone in ADMO’s global expansion in hotels.”

As a brand synonymous with vibrant luxury and exceptional experiences, opening in one of the world’s most exclusive luxury lifestyle and wellness retreats is the perfect fit for the iconic Nammos brand and reinforces ADMO’s commitment to expanding our international portfolio in the premium hospitality sector.”

The first master plan of AMAALA, centered on the Triple Bay development, is progressing well, with the first guests expected to arrive in 2025 at the destination’s 1,400 keys across eight hotels. Triple Bay will eventually feature 12 resorts and three residential communities.

Upon full completion, AMAALA will boast approximately 4,000 rooms across 30 hotels, along with approximately 1,200 luxury residential villas, apartments, and estate homes. The development will also include vibrant marinas for the global yachting community, as well as high-end retail, fine dining, wellness and recreational facilities.


Preventive care: rethinking everyday health in Saudi Arabia

Preventive care: rethinking everyday health in Saudi Arabia

In Saudi Arabia, a quiet revolution is reshaping the way people think about health. It is not happening in operating rooms or emergency wards — it is unfolding in homes, schools, and communities. It is imperative we ask ourselves: what if health began long before the doctor’s visit? What if the most powerful interventions were the ones we made every day — at home, at school and in our communities?

This philosophy is at the heart of Haleon’s work in Saudi Arabia, where the consumer healthcare company is helping redefine what it means to be healthy. It is not just about curing illness; it is about preventing it. It is not just about access; it is about empowerment. And it is not just about innovation; it is about inclusion.

Prevention as a national imperative

Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and its Health Sector Transformation Program have placed preventive care at the center of the national strategy. This is not just policy — it is a paradigm shift. From chronic disease management to oral hygiene education, the Kingdom is investing in initiatives that help people stay healthy, not just get treated.

This shift is especially critical in a region where lifestyle-related conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity are on the rise. By promoting healthier habits and early intervention, Saudi Arabia is not only improving individual outcomes, it is reducing long-term strain on hospitals and clinics.

From awareness to action

Health literacy remains one of the most overlooked barriers to better outcomes in the pursuit toward preventive health, with low health literacy associated with 2.8 times higher health costs per person. By focusing on everyday habits, Haleon is shifting the narrative from reactive care to proactive wellness.

Darśana Nair, general manager of Haleon Saudi Arabia, said: “When people understand their health, they’re empowered to protect it.”

This belief drives Haleon’s broader investment in wellness, including its Pain Management Institute, a resource hub for both professionals and patients navigating chronic pain. With 70 percent of its Saudi business dedicated to over-the-counter products, Haleon is championing accessible, preventive care that meets people where they are.

Inclusivity as a strategy

Haleon’s commitment to health equity is evident in its outreach; the company ensures that no community is left behind. Arabic-language materials and culturally tailored programs make health information more relevant and actionable, breaking down barriers and building trust.

Global roots, local impact

Headquartered in Jeddah, Haleon has built a workforce that is nearly 50 percent Saudi nationals and invested in local manufacturing, including the production of Panadol in the Kingdom. This localization strategy strengthens supply chains, supports job creation, and aligns with Saudi Arabia’s broader goals for industrial growth and economic resilience.

“Our collaboration with the Ministry of Investment to localize Panadol manufacturing is just one example of how we support job creation, industrial growth, and supply chain resilience,” said Nair. “By promoting prevention and self-care, we also help reduce the long-term burden on hospitals and make the healthcare system more sustainable for everyone.”

A new era of everyday health

Haleon’s work in Saudi Arabia is more than corporate strategy — it is a vision for the future. “We believe that better everyday health is possible for everyone,” Nair said. “Working alongside our partners and communities, we are proud to support Saudi Arabia’s vision for the future.”
