Clinique La Prairie to open at Amaala on the Red Sea

Clinique La Prairie has announced a partnership with Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind the world’s most ambitious regenerative tourism destinations, Amaala and the Red Sea. This follows news of the brand’s expansion into China in 2023.

The leading longevity clinic and wellness brand will occupy a high-end 36,000sqm Clinique La Prairie Health Resort in Amaala, which is located on Saudi Arabia’s north-western coastline. The exclusive resort will offer 13 villas, as well as 52 rooms and suites.

Central to the project will be Clinique La Prairie’s Longevity Plaza, leading to four distinctive areas of the resort corresponding to each one of the property’s pillars – medical care, nutrition, movement and wellbeing. Each will host activities and facilities that promote healthy living, including the latest technologies developed over 90 years by Clinique La Prairie.

The resort will also boast a diagnostics lab, museum, beach club, workshop and training rooms, private dining space and even a cooking school, ensuring visitors can embark on an inimitable journey of rejuvenation and self-discovery.

Architect John Heah has set the vision for the resort, which includes idyllic gardens to create a sense of place and tranquility and add to the connected journey for visitors.

“Clinique La Prairie’s world-renowned facilities and health and wellness experiences, set against Saudi Arabia’s extraordinary natural landscapes, will take our visitors on transformative personal journeys inspired by arts, wellness, and the purity of the Red Sea,” says John Pagano, Group CEO, Red Sea Global.

“The resort’s subtle beauty – a product of Islamic architecture and modern craftmanship – will deliver a serene place in which to unwind, meditate and rejuvenate.”

Medical-led approach to longevity

Clinique La Prairie’s unique approach to wellbeing, combining leading preventative medicine, genetics and epigenetics with bespoke lifestyle and nutrition plans will be a huge draw for luxury wellness travellers.

Using the Clinique La Prairie Longevity Method, medical specialists and holistic experts will provide guests with highly personalised revitalising, immune-boosting and transformative itineraries over one-week or longer stays, to embrace health and life to its fullest potential.

The clinic’s expert team will address issues including fatigue, anxiety, digestive disorders, insomnia, diabetes and more with its synergistic treatments to rejuvenate inside and out.

The medical pillar will include an advanced diagnostics lab as well as radiology, physio, neuroscience, dermo, aesthetics and dentistry. On the wellbeing side the destination will provide a cryochamber, hyperbaric suites, IV infusion and a series of next-generation therapies to be unveiled, all of which contribute to Amaala’s standing as a distinctive wellness destination.

Respecting surrounding environments

Sustainability is a cornerstone of Amaala, with the entire destination set to be powered by 100% renewable energy. Respect for flora and fauna also runs through every aspect of the resort’s design. For instance, Amaala’s buildings have been brought around 100m back from the coastline to avoid interference with the natural habitat of the Red Sea’s fragile turtle populations. Lighting is also carefully used to protect the night sky and limit the impact of artificial light on wildlife.

Phase one of the destination is well underway and expects to welcome its first guests in 2024. It will consist of eight resorts offering upwards of 1,300 hotel keys.

Upon completion, Amaala will be home to more than 3,000 hotel rooms across 25 hotels, and approximately 900 luxury residential villas, apartments, and estate homes, alongside high-end retail establishments, fine dining, wellness, and recreational facilities.
