In the waters of Shura Island, desert winds meet the warm waves of the Red Sea. Not far from this island – an icon for Tourism development in the region – a new playground emerges for adrenaline seekers and coastal Lifestyle enthusiasts: ADRENA.
Developed by Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind regenerative destinations The Red Sea and AMAALA, this Adventure Zone and entertainment hub will open to the public on March 1st, following an exclusive launch for invited guests on February 15th.
ADRENA is designed to serve guests from across The Red Sea Destination and beyond. It offers experiences ranging from Surfing to wakeboarding, cliff jumping to skateboarding.

The name ADRENA draws inspiration from 'adrenaline', 'arena', and 'dream' – a statement about blending excitement, energy, and imagination.
Here, pristine natural landscapes set the stage for day and night adventures.
As the sun sets, the beach club transforms into a relaxation space with house music from DJs, accompanied by South American-inspired dishes and curated mocktails.
This unique adventure and entertainment zone doesn't just offer thrilling experiences but embodies coastal lifestyle freedom, combining energy, community, and connection with nature.
"Our ADRENA is built with sustainability at its core, demonstrating our commitment to regenerative Tourism while ensuring unforgettable experiences for every guest, day or night. We look forward to welcoming visitors in the coming weeks," said John Pagano, CEO of Red Sea Global Group.
At ADRENA's heart lies a 215-meter saltwater surfing pool – set to be Saudi Arabia's largest upon opening.
Its waves can reach 2.1 meters and are adjustable to surfers' skill levels, creating an inclusive arena for beginners and professionals alike.
Beyond this, wakeboarding lakes, snorkeling trails, and a six-meter diving pool deliver immersive underwater experiences.
For families, there's a children's water play area and floating inflatable obstacle courses.
Land-based thrill-seekers can enjoy skate parks, BMX tracks, and beach sports like soccer and volleyball.
A water-spanning zip line and a 10-meter 'slip 'n' fly' slide cater to those craving higher adrenaline surges.
The zone is operated by Red Sea Sports & Entertainment Co., which also runs WAMA for water sports, Galaxea for underwater experiences, and Akun for land adventures.
ADRENA transcends conventional amusement park concepts, inviting guests into the wild with world-class facilities and expert teams.
Sustainability underpins its design. A closed-loop system sustainably draws seawater, filters it, and circulates it through attractions before returning it clean.
Freshwater is recycled for irrigation, minimizing environmental impact while reinforcing RSG's commitment to regenerative tourism.
Since welcoming its first guests in 2023, The Red Sea Destination now features nine hotels, including Thuwal Private Retreat off Jeddah's coast.
Access is provided via Red Sea International Airport (RSI), with regular flights from Riyadh, Jeddah, Dubai, Doha, and Milan.
Amid desert sands and Coral Reefs, ADRENA offers a new chapter for Middle Eastern Adventure Tourism.
