Case Studies || St Regis Red Sea Resort

As luxury resorts continue to refine their guest experiences, family-friendly amenities are becoming essential. The Red Sea Global team recognised this and partnered with Timberplay to create a premium, sustainable playground at the St Regis Resort that enhances its offering.

Designed to blend seamlessly with the resort’s aesthetic while using responsibly sourced, durable materials, this play space aligns with the destination’s commitment to environmental stewardship.

With Hotelier Middle East describing the resort as “sustainable and at one with nature,” the playground reinforces this vision—offering an eco-conscious, high-quality space for families to enjoy.

The Vision

The decision to integrate a playground was driven by the resort’s commitment to providing exceptional guest experiences. Catering to families has become a key focus in high-end hospitality, and the addition of a thoughtfully designed play space allows the resort to offer more inclusive experiences. By incorporating a luxury playground, the St Regis Red Sea Resort strengthens its position as a destination that seamlessly combines elegance with family-friendly design.

Design & Materials

Timberplay selected Robinia and Mountain Larch timber, ensuring the playground’s durability in the region’s climate. Thoughtful design modifications, such as metal caps to prevent wood expansion and strategic placement of metal elements to avoid heat retention, make the space safe and comfortable. Handcrafted by Richter Spielgeräte, the play structures reflect a commitment to superior craftsmanship and sustainability. The natural wooden aesthetics complement the resort’s architectural vision, reinforcing its dedication to elegance and environmental responsibility.

Play Value & Guest Experience

The playground offers a diverse play experience tailored for children of all ages. Water and sand play elements encourage sensory exploration, while brain games and risky play features promote problem-solving and confidence. Designed to foster engagement within a luxury setting, the play space enriches the resort experience by providing families with a memorable and interactive environment.

Results & Impact

The addition of a high-end playground has enhanced the resort’s appeal, attracting more families and reinforcing its reputation as a leading destination for luxury hospitality. By prioritising sustainability and thoughtful design, the playground aligns with the resort’s brand values while setting a new benchmark for immersive, family-oriented amenities. As more luxury hotels invest in bespoke play spaces, the St Regis Red Sea Resort stands out as a pioneer in integrating world-class play into the guest experience.

Timberplay’s expertise in creating bespoke playgrounds for luxury resorts ensures that hotels can offer engaging, family-friendly spaces without compromising on elegance. The St Regis Red Sea Resort is a prime example of how a well-designed play area enhances guest experience and elevates a resort’s brand.
