RIYADH — AMAALA, the ultra-luxury destination located along Saudi Arabia's northwestern coastline, on Monday appointed British award-winning architectural design and engineering firm, Foster + Partners as architectural advisors. Rooted in the philosophies of art, wellness, and the purity of the Red Sea, AMAALA is set in the Prince Muhammad Bin Salman Nature Reserve across three unique communities: Triple Bay, The Island, and The Coastal Development. The trio of communities will represent three different sets of experiences for visitors, with Foster + Partners responsible for innovative and sustainable design solutions across AMAALA's masterplans and projects. "AMAALA will represent a singularly unique experience, one which redefines the ultra-luxury experience in its entirety. We are delighted to be partnering with one of the world's most recognized names in architecture and design to realize our vision. There is a natural synergy with Foster + Partners, whose ongoing commitment toward sustainability and green projects is aligned with our ethos and commitment to being net carbon neutral from day one of operations. Creating a coastal oasis that elevates the role of responsible tourism globally," said AMAALA's Chief Executive Officer Nicholas Naples. AMAALA seeks to strike an emotional chord with visitors through the creation of transformative experiences, individually curated to guests' needs, while the exclusivity of the destination aligns it with those who are connoisseurs of fine living. Senior Partner Stuart Latham of Foster + Partners, said: "The ambition and scale of the project is striking, and we're excited to help the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with its vision for an unforgettable luxury experience which acknowledges the sensitive nature and ecological significance of the site for tourists from across the globe." Nested in Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 plan, the development of AMAALA is being rolled out across three key phases, with completion of the destination ahead of the realization of Saudi Vision 2030.
