The 90 opulently furnished beachfront and overwater villas at The St. Regis Red Sea Resort, which is reachable by seaplane or chartered boat from the recently completed Red Sea International Airport, provide accommodations for one to four people and are equipped with a private pool, sundeck, and outdoor shower. The airy and light-filled villas catch unparalleled views of the sea from dawn to sunset, effortlessly fusing the outdoors indoors. Each terrace, surrounded by gently swaying palm palms, is a tranquil spot to watch the stars at night.

The resort's architecture, which was created by architect Kengo Kuma and interior designers Kristina Zanic Consultants, is a reflection of the nearby sand dunes, coral reefs, and marine life. Soft curves and spiral shapes are used to create organic forms in interior spaces and furniture. The textiles are soft and natural, with a colour scheme influenced by the desert and infused with green and blue hues that are representative of the area's biodiversity. Bespoke furnishings, woodwork, and marble are used to highlight contemporary interiors.
