A secluded retreat

The architecture focuses on simple, clean, white curves and soft edges that integrate with the surrounding landscape through stepped terracing, complemented by vertical cascading gardens. SHA Emirates strikes the balance between luxury resort and the opportunity for escapism that a wellness retreat presents, surrounded by the peace and tranquility of coastal nature; secluded and relaxing. The resort spans a total of 125,000 sqm along the coast, and within every element or feature a synergy exists with the natural environment. The concept targets the preservation of the area’s existing natural beauty, while also aiming to positively influence guests searching for mental, physical and emotional wellbeing.
