Located within The Red Sea giga-project, Laheq Island is poised to become one of the region’s most exclusive lifestyle destinations, blending world-class architecture with environmental harmony. The development will feature 260 beach and overwater residences, complemented by luxury hospitality offerings, including three boutique hotels and a yacht club.

Designed by renowned architects Foster + Partners, the master plan emphasizes minimal ecological impact while delivering an unmatched coastal living experience. The island’s distinctive ring-shaped lagoon, framed by verdant mangroves and pristine coral reefs, underscores RSG’s commitment to regenerative tourism and sustainable design.

“Our vision for Laheq Island was to create a residential sanctuary that celebrates the natural beauty of the Red Sea while offering contemporary, sophisticated living,” said John Pagano, Group CEO of Red Sea Global. “This destination will redefine how we think about luxury coastal development, with sustainability at its core.”

Currently under construction, the island is scheduled for completion and opening in 2028, coinciding with the expansion of The Red Sea’s luxury tourism offerings.
