Four Seasons Resort and Residences Red Sea at Shura Island announces the appointment of Kai Dieckmann as General Manager of the much-anticipated property that will set a new benchmark in regenerative luxury island tourism.
“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime honour to welcome guests to discover a new property offering the finest in desert island luxury,” says Kai. “I am also delighted to have the privilege of shaping interest in this pristine emerging destination on the Red Sea that is gaining worldwide attention as a leader for regenerative luxury experiences.”
Originally from Bielefeld, Germany, Kai’s leadership expertise has taken him to the Caribbean, Europe, and Asia before being appointed to open the resort on Shura Island as part of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Vision 2030 program for economic, cultural, and social diversification. The serene resort is situated on the longest stretch of beach on the island and features 149 rooms and suites along with 31 resort residences.
Designs for the property located on the most private area of the island’s eastern tip (about a 25-minute drive from the award-winning Red Sea International Airport) via a 1.2-kilometre (3/4 mile) overwater bridge are by renowned sustainable architecture firm Foster + Partners. Four Seasons guests will enjoy exclusive tee times at Shura Links—Saudi Arabia’s only championship island golf course—and can also have fun experiencing a broad range of cultural, land, and marine activities, including diving among the world’s fourth-largest coral reef, stargazing, or snorkelling to view some of the 200 species of marine life endemic to the area.
Surrounded by the sea on three sides, the secluded property will also feature three pools including an adults-only area, six restaurants, a spa with stone-clad hammam, a kids and teens’ activities club with programming, and a Marine Discovery Centre, in line with the new ultra-luxury island’s commitment to protecting and regenerating the nearby corals.
The entire island on Saudi Arabia’s western coast runs on renewable energy, while patrons of the soon-to-open Four Seasons Resort and Residences Red Sea at Shura Island will be among the world’s first to experience the wonders of the Red Sea in a relaxed, barefoot, and luxurious atmosphere among undulating dunes and clusters of chic accommodations inspired by ancient desert trade caravans....

Small Tip To Landing Good Senior-Level Hotel Management Positions in 2026
Many of our members have remained with us since the inception of our job lead service seven years ago. They continue to renew their memberships, staying on board even after securing new positions, and for good reason.
Daily, our editors dispatch bulletins detailing new job vacancies, projects, and industry shifts, including hotel launches, expansions, strategies, and market trends.
We recognize that numerous long-standing, senior-level members utilize these bulletins as conversation starters, reaching out to hotel chains and potential employers, sometimes with unsolicited applications and messages. LHN endorses such proactive engagement. It's an excellent, informal method to gain early interest from prominent hotel groups and upcoming projects, indicating your interest and broadening your opportunities for intriguing interviews or discussions about potential roles, particularly at the upper echelons of management.
Our editors also keep these proactive efforts in mind, shaping many bulletins to cover "new openings, new projects, and new market developments."
While membership spots for 2026 are limited, it's not too late to renew.- Read more her
