AMAALA, KSA, 07 September 2026: Today marks the arrival of one of luxury hospitality's most anticipated openings of the year, as Nammos Resort AMAALA officially welcomes its first guests.

Set on the untouched coastline of Triple Bay within Red Sea Global's regenerative destination, AMAALA, the opening represents a defining new chapter for one of the world's most recognisable lifestyle brands. More than twenty years after transforming the beach club landscape in Mykonos, Nammos has evolved into its first destination resort, bringing together hospitality, dining, wellbeing and design within a setting unlike anywhere else in the world.

Designed around the philosophy of Endless Joy, Nammos Resort AMAALA reimagines the energy and elegance synonymous with the brand for a new generation of luxury traveller. Here, sun-drenched days transition effortlessly into vibrant evenings, wellness sits alongside celebration, and every experience is shaped by the rhythm of the Red Sea.

Carolyn Turnbull, CEO of Nammos Hotels & Resorts, said: "Today is much more than the opening of a hotel. It is the beginning of an entirely new chapter for Nammos. We have taken everything people know and love about the brand – its sense of occasion, exceptional hospitality, unforgettable dining and unmistakable energy – and reimagined it as a complete resort experience. There is nowhere else in the world where Nammos could have made this leap quite like AMAALA, and we are incredibly proud to welcome our very first guests."

“Nammos Resort AMAALA strengthens the diversity of experiences available across the destination bringing the unmistakable energy and spirit of Mykonos to the Saudi Red Sea coast. As AMAALA continues to expand with each new opening, the addition of Nammos reinforces our ambition to establish one of the world's leading luxury lifestyle and wellness destinations,” said Group CEO John Pagano.

The resort features 110 rooms, suites and villas, together with 20 Nammos Residences, each designed to blur the boundary between indoors and out through expansive terraces, natural materials and uninterrupted views across the Red Sea. Contemporary Saudi influences are woven throughout interiors inspired by the effortless sophistication of the Cyclades, creating spaces that feel both rooted in place and unmistakably Nammos.

At its heart lies the brand's iconic Nammos Restaurant, occupying its own private island reached via a dedicated boardwalk and jetty. Surrounded by an infinity pool, private cabanas and panoramic sea views, it becomes the social centrepiece of the resort from day through to night. Elsewhere, Nalu Restaurant introduces bold Latin American cuisine layered with Asian influences, while Ilios Restaurant and Ilios Lounge celebrate Mediterranean flavours, sunset cocktails and the relaxed glamour that defines the Nammos lifestyle.

Wellbeing is equally central to the guest experience. The Nammos Spa, fitness and movement studios, watersports, marine excursions and curated wellness programming invite guests to experience the destination at their own pace, while families are welcomed through dedicated children's experiences and nature-led activities. Every stay is shaped by Nammos’ team of world-class butlers, offering an attentive, intuitive service, for a unique, entirely bespoke experience.

Opening as one of the flagship resorts within AMAALA, guests also enjoy access to one of the world's most ambitious new luxury destinations, from the Corallium marine life institute and the vibrant Yacht Club, to pristine reefs, untouched beaches and immersive cultural experiences. Adventurous guests can enjoy guided hikes, biking, and running on the scenic mountain trails, and sailing on the bay’s exquisite waters. Powered entirely by renewable energy upon completion, AMAALA represents a new vision for regenerative luxury tourism on the Red Sea.

Looking ahead, Nammos Hotels & Resorts will continue to grow its global footprint, with new hotels and resorts in development across a collection of the world's most coveted destinations, including Montenegro, the Maldives and Egypt. With today's opening, Nammos Hotels & Resorts begins its global resort journey from one of the world's newest luxury destinations, setting a new benchmark for lifestyle-led hospitality in the Middle East.
