New Opening: Kempinski Hotel & Resort Sariya

Kempinski Hotel & Resort Sariya Yanbu Red Sea, the brand’s second Saudi Arabia property, opened on Jan. 28. 

The luxury resort offers beach access, panoramic views of the Red Sea, a spa, fitness center, infinity pool, meeting and event space, and more. 

“This resort represents a new era of hospitality, offering guests an exquisite opportunity to experience the magic of the region,” said Dirk Bansemer, the hotel’s general manager. “We are honored to contribute to Yanbu’s growth as a premier destination while aligning with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 to highlight its natural beauty and cultural legacy on the world stage.” 

The 118-key hotel features rooms with a choice of lagoon or sea views. Guests also have two dining options: Ragheed, the all-day dining restaurant serving both local and international cuisine, and Ghroub Lounge, a coffee and pastry cafe with sea views, as well as 24-hour in-room dining. 

Kempinski Hotel and Resort Sariya also has marina access, a grand ballroom, and several meeting rooms including an executive boardroom. The hotel’s design elegance is punctuated by a subtle Art Deco style, marble and warm wood accents, shimmering metals, and velvet fabrics. 

“The opening of Kempinski Hotel and Resort Sariya is a momentous occasion,” Bansemer said. “Opening our doors in Yanbu, The Pearl of the Red Sea, marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for both Kempinski and the city itself.”
