Five overwater villas, for adults only

On 9 October 2026, the Rixos Murjana unveiled its Overwater Villas, five villas set on the lagoon and closed to children. According to Rixos, they are the first adults-only overwater villas in Saudi Arabia. First mentioned during the resort’s pre-opening in November 2025, they are now welcoming their first guests.

The model is openly the Maldives, where the format has become the norm, as with the 57 Water Villas at Constance Halaveli. Here you will find bright interiors in coastal tones and materials, floor-to-ceiling windows and a private terrace over the water, with direct access to the sea.

Privé Grand: up to 139 m² and a jacuzzi

The collection comprises four Overwater Villas Privé and a single Overwater Villa Privé Grand. The Privé villas offer 55 m², one bedroom and their own private terrace; like the Grand, they sleep a maximum of two.

The Privé Grand adds a separate living room and a jacuzzi on its terrace. Its size varies with the source: 139 m² in the Rixos press release, 111 m² on the reservations page, the gap most likely down to the terrace. The interior visuals of the villas and the spa, supplied by Rixos, are 3D renderings.

A round-the-clock butler at Club Privé

The villas are part of Club Privé by Rixos. Check-in and check-out take place in the villa, a private butler is on hand 24 hours a day and a concierge team looks after the stay. Buggy transfers are provided for getting around the estate.

At mealtimes, guests enjoy exclusive access to the Club House restaurant and guaranteed reservations at the resort’s à la carte restaurants. They also have a private beach. 24-hour room service is available as an extra.

What does a night over the water cost?

On Accor’s reservations website, on 11 October 2026 we found a rate of €2,590.17 a night in a Privé villa, for two adults, from 15 to 16 November 2026, all inclusive and with taxes included. The same night, the resort’s Superior room starts at €524.73, roughly five times less. The Privé Grand villa was not available on that date. The villas can also be reserved by phone on +966 12 239 2444.

275,000 m² on the Red Sea coast

The villas complete a resort inaugurated on 18 February 2026 by the Saudi Minister of Tourism. Billed as the largest ultra all-inclusive resort in the Kingdom, the Rixos Murjana was financed in part by the Tourism Development Fund, with Emaar Economic City as investor.

The estate covers 275,000 m² and brings together 488 rooms and suites, a 600-metre private beach and a 2,800 m² ballroom. Founded in Turkey in 2000, the Rixos brand now belongs to Ennismore, an Accor joint venture. Along the same coast, the AMAALA region has welcomed the Equinox AMAALA resort and Six Senses AMAALA.

Alâ Akşam, Anjana Spa and 11 waterpark rides

The dining runs from the international buffet at Terra Mare to the Alâ Akşam grill, by way of MykOrini, inspired by Mykonos and Santorini, Piazzetta Italiana, People’s and the Godiva Café. The La Bodega cigar bar and the Solara Beach Club round off the line-up.

The Anjana Spa features a hammam, 12 treatment rooms, a sauna and couples’ suites. The resort also remains family-friendly: the Rixy Kids Club, billed as the largest in the Kingdom, and a Teens Club sit alongside the Murjana Waterpark. This 42,000 m² park offers 11 rides, a wave pool and a lazy pool; according to the brand, it is the first waterpark integrated into a hotel in Saudi Arabia.
