You’ve heard about the ultra-luxury AMAALA development currently under construction along Saudi Arabia’s northwestern coast. A shiny facet to this stunning gem will be the Triple Bay Yacht Club. Iconic designs for the centerpiece structure have now been revealed.
Covering 7,900m2 and set on four levels, the ultra-luxurious club is intended to create a home-away-from-home for its members, whether to do business, relax, entertain or take part in a calendar of yachting events.
International architecture firm HKS is responsible for the design of the yacht club. According to the design group, two sources of inspiration played key roles in the concept: unique rock formations on the Red Sea coastline, provided a vision for the cantilevered terraces, echoing the natural shape of the surrounding cliffs; and, mankind’s relationship with the sea and maritime history prompted a seamless integration between the club and the marina.
Complimenting the club facility is a full-service marina with 120 berths for yachts up to 130m in length and unique porte cochere for discreet arrival by yacht tender.
Arrival is a key moment for guests by land or by water, with the entrance set within an arch that forms a shaded plaza and frames dramatic views to the Red Sea. This area has a mirrored, vaulted ceiling over a star-lit floor, creating an alternative night sky for guests in the evening.
“AMAALA is one of the flagship Saudi Vision 2030 projects and remains central to the Kingdom’s ambition to become a global tourism leader. We anticipate that AMAALA will become an international hub for luxury yachting, and as such, the yacht club required a world-class design, influenced by the surrounding natural elements and Arabic heritage, and underpinned by our commitment to sustainability,” said John Pagano, CEO, AMAALA.
The Triple Bay development is scheduled to welcome first guests in 2024.
