Master Plan
At The Red Sea, we are forging a new model of development, with responsibility at its core. In partnership with Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo and Buro Happold, our masterplan for the destination has been developed to not only protect the environment but enrich it for future generations to enjoy. 
The plan was informed by a series of wide-ranging environmental studies, and the largest marine spatial planning simulation ever undertaken, in partnership with King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, to assess the environmental impact of the development and operation of the destination. 
As a result of these findings, less than one percent of the total site area is being developed, with 75 percent of the destination’s islands being preserved for conservation. We also aim to achieve a 30 percent net positive conservation benefit by 2040, achieved by enhancing key habitats that help biodiversity to flourish.
