Kerzner International has entered into an agreement with Al Khozama Management Company, a Saudi developer and owner of luxury hotels, to develop and operate a new One&Only resort in Jeddah on the Red Sea.

The new property will feature 150 luxurious guest rooms, suites and villas, a One&Only residential component, a health spa and a range of dining and retail options. The resort is set to become a destination for both business and leisure.

The 1m sq ft (95,000 sq m) resort will be located in Obhur, north of Jeddah and command 230 meters of beachfront.

This will be One&Only’s first resort in The Kingdom. Alan Leibman, CEO, Kerzner International said: “Jeddah is the perfect location for the first One&Only experience in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The beachfront location is remarkable and I am very confident the resort will be well received by our many loyal One&Only guests and new guests alike,”

Like all properties within the One&Only collections, the Jeddah resort will place an emphasis on privacy while evoking a ‘sense of place’, showcasing the country’s history and reflecting the local culture in its design.

The resort will offer programming for families with children whilst preserving space for adults only as well. Guests will also have access to a host of unique sporting and entertainment facilities on-site.
