Six Senses Southern Dunes
Tabuk, Saudi Arabia
Foster + Partners desert resort at the base of the Hijaz Mountains, The Red Sea, Saudi Arabia
No. 137 · Autumn 2026
A desert resort designed with Foster + Partners
Six Senses Southern Dunes is the first resort to open in The Red Sea destination, with 76 keys that can be taken as a full buyout for up to 350 guests.
Six Senses Southern Dunes stands on a high plateau at the foot of the Hijaz Mountains and was the first resort to open in The Red Sea destination. Foster + Partners drew on the Nabataean civilisation of the Incense Route, giving the villas roofs that echo Bedouin tents and dunes and placing a flower-shaped canopy, the Oasis, at the centre.
Two scales of wedding
A small ceremony can take place in the courtyard of a pool villa, followed by a private dinner at the chef's table or under the stars. A larger celebration uses the whole resort, with up to 350 guests, the Oasis as the ceremony setting and Al Sarab for a reception as the mountains turn gold.
