Inside AMAALA’s Equinox, the Brand’s Second Hotel

From the gym floor to the Red Sea shore.

AMAALA, Red Sea Global’s ultra-luxury wellness destination around 700 km north of Jeddah, is filling up fast. Four Seasons Resort and Residences AMAALA was the first resort to open at Triple Bay in June 2026, followed by Six Senses in July and Rosewood in August. Among the latest to join the line-up is Equinox Resort AMAALA, and it’s quite the newcomer, having officially opened its doors in September.

Equinox is best known for its gyms, but its first property outside the US takes the brand somewhere very different. Located in Marina Village at the heart of Triple Bay, it follows Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards in New York. Designed by Foster + Partners, with interiors by Rockwell Group, the resort takes inspiration from the surrounding coastal and desert landscape, and features 128 rooms and suites across six categories, including two penthouses, plus 21 branded residences.

As you’d expect, it’s all about performance. Like its New York sibling, the resort is built around the brand’s philosophy of Movement, Nutrition, Regeneration and Community, starting with 704 sqm of indoor and outdoor training space, the largest fitness facility in AMAALA. Recovery is just as important. The 1,602 sqm spa is built around the Equinox X Circuit, a seven-stage regeneration experience, with cryotherapy, infrared sauna, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, hydrotherapy and contrast temperature therapies all on the menu. Even the rooms are designed as 24-hour recovery environments, with circadian lighting, acoustic isolation and precise climate control to help you sleep better.

When it’s time to switch off, there are four outdoor pools, including a rooftop magnesium salt pool overlooking Triple Bay, AMAALA Marina and the AMAALA Yacht Club, along with a beach club. Dining is “indulgently healthy” across four concepts: Mint + Co, Soho Souk, Sama Ai and EQX Den.

And that’s not all. Once complete, Triple Bay will be home to eight hotels and around 1,400 rooms. Nammos and Jayasom also opened in September, with Clinique La Prairie and The Ritz-Carlton still to come. The AMAALA Yacht Club is set to host the Grand Finale of The Ocean Race in 2027, as one of the world’s toughest sailing races crosses the finish line on the Red Sea.
