ARCHITECTURALLY HARMONIOUS
SEA, DESERT, & GREENERY
Ancient Sands Golf Resort mirrors the harmony between the sea, desert, and greenery, incorporating them all in one place.
Located along 10 kilometers of magnificent coastline, the resort achieves the perfect marriage between Mediterranean chic and traditional Nubian designs. White tones of the grand façade are complimented by wood and stone accents, with intricately designed domes and arches, forming an authentic luxury abode.
Desert Oasis on the Red Sea
Organized around a central piazza at the crest of the hill, the village is a dense interplay of buildings and stepped elevations that create a single organic environment with a mix of outdoor spaces, stairways, and terraces gardens.
At the heart of the development lies an expansive clubhouse with an 80-room hotel and spa connecting the resort’s central hilltop village with the championship golf course’s 18th hole.
