“This collaboration introduces the ENVI Lodges brand to the thriving tourism market in Saudi Arabia, with Al Rasim continually investing in unique hospitality projects that allow the discovery of the natural beauty of the Red Sea coastline.”

According to ENVI Lodges, the ecolodge is committed to the regeneration of mangroves, which grow in this area, as part of its complete approach to luxury tourism.

It intends to protect the calm and crystalline waters, enabling guests to enjoy the tranquillity of nature.

ENVI Lodges claims that this project, which is expected to ‘serve as a benchmark for coastal eco-friendly resorts on the Red Sea shores’, aligns with Vision 2030 of Saudi Arabia.

ENVI Lodges co-founder Chris Nader said: “The lodge is strategically located, just one hour by road from Jeddah and connected to the city’s airport via the high-speed train.

“We envision the lodge as a preferred eco-conscious beach destination, not only for Jeddah residents but for domestic and international travellers looking for a unique barefoot luxury escape near Saudi Arabia’s second-largest city”.

The announcement of the ENVI Laguna Bay location comes after the design preview of ENVI Al Nakheel, a luxury sustainable lodge in Saudi Arabia’s Al Ahsa Oasis.

Both projects are scheduled to open in 2024.
