Sheybarah Island is a pristine, 120-hectare uninhabited island nestled within the Al Wajh Lagoon — a UNESCO-recognized marine area of outstanding biodiversity. The island is home to dense mangrove forests, rolling sand dunes, turtle nesting grounds, and some of the most pristine coral reefs in the world, with a dramatic house reef drop-off just 30–40 meters from the beach. Before Shebara was developed, the island served as a quiet weekend picnic spot for locals from the nearby town of Al Wajh.
Today, it stands as one of the most architecturally remarkable and ecologically responsible luxury resorts on earth. The resort was conceived as a next generation eco-tourism destination that merges sustainability with cutting-edge design. Inspired by the natural formation of pearls in the sea, Shebara’s masterplan mirrors a delicate string of pearls — each spherical villa positioned like a floating orb, cantilevered over the water or nestled into the beachfront landscape. The stainless- steel shell of each villa reflects the colors and surface patterns of the sea, creating the illusion that the structures are weightless and in constant conversation with the natural environment.

Mediterranean Cuisine | Led by Michelin-Starred Chef Marco Garfagnini | Dinner Service
(exact hours — contact resort)
Ariamare is Shebara’s showcase Mediterranean restaurant, helmed by Chef Marco Garfagnini — a seasoned restaurateur whose first personal venture, Ristorante Ninan, earned a Michelin star in the 1990s, and who has since graced the kitchens of Four Seasons, Six Senses, and Dubai’s Jumeirah Al Naseem. The restaurant is set in the arrival pavilion with a gorgeous seafacing terrace and sophisticated interiors that frame the Red Sea as a living backdrop. The culinary philosophy is rooted in simplicity meeting sophistication — every dish tells a story of Mediterranean coastal culture, treasuring the bounty of land and sea, and embracing seasonality. The centerpiece of the dining experience is the Pasta Lab, where handcrafted fresh pastas are prepared in view through a large glass window. Must-try dishes include the homemade pastas, Yellowfin Tuna Sashimi, selection of tapas, and the indulgent Caviar Degustation Menu served every evening. Brunch at Ariamare is particularly celebrated, with a focus on fresh seafood and seasonal preparations.
Japanese-Nikkei (Japanese-Peruvian Fusion) Cuisine | 6:30 PM – 11:30 PM | Closed Mondays & Wednesdays
Iki.Roe is Shebara’s most sophisticated and highly praised dining venue, delivering a bold and memorable fusion of Japanese precision and Peruvian creativity. Set in ultra-chic interiors featuring olive green and beige tones with clean lines evoking bamboo forests, the restaurant features a fully open kitchen where guests can watch the chefs craft every dish in real time. The signature offering is an Omakase dining journey — a chef-curated sequence of courses that takes guests through the best of the Nikkei culinary tradition. Standout dishes include the celebrated Miso Black Cod, Nikkei Ceviche, and an array of fresh sashimi and contemporary plates. The experience is paired with inspired non-alcoholic beverages from the Solera bar, blending the cellar’s creativity with the precision of the kitchen. Guests and critics consistently describe Iki.Roe as the culinary highlight of any stay at Shebara.
International / Global Flavors | Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner | Breakfast: Daily from 7:00 AM
Lunara is Shebara’s chic, contemporary all-day brasserie — a space where sophisticated design meets approachable, globally inspired cooking. Breakfast at Lunara is a much-loved ritual for guests: great coffee, healthy fresh food, and sweeping sea views that make lingering effortless. The breakfast format combines buffet classics — including regional favorites such as shakshuka and falafel — with à la carte specialties, and has been praised by guests and reviewers for items including a vanilla-dipped brioche French toast sprinkled with cinnamon and jewel-like pomegranate seeds. Through the day, Lunara transitions to lunch and dinner service, offering a rotating menu of globally inspired dishes in a warm, refined atmosphere. All venues also feature a dedicated children’s menu spanning a range of international favorites.
Levantine / Mediterranean Cuisine | Family Pool Venue | Daytime & Evening (hours vary)
SARIA is Shebara’s family-friendly poolside dining destination, positioned at the beautiful family pool with direct views of the Red Sea and a festive, relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant specializes in vibrant Levantine cuisine — dishes that celebrate the bold, herb-laden, spice-rich culinary traditions of the Eastern Mediterranean. The menu features a diverse selection of modern dishes crafted from the finest seasonal ingredients, served in a stylish, naturally lit setting that blends seamlessly with the beach environment. Daytime at SARIA is particularly lively, with a DJ spinning music, children flying kites nearby, and families lounging on the Oliver James floats in the pool. In the evening, the space transitions to a more refined dinner atmosphere while retaining its warm, communal spirit.
Innovative Non-Alcoholic Beverages & Light Bites | Adults-Only | Daytime through late evening (sunset to late night)
Solera is Shebara’s signature adults-only pool bar, positioned at the elevated infinity-edge pool on the western side of the island — widely regarded as the best spot in the resort for sunset viewing. Drawing its name and spirit from the barrel-aging system used in winemaking, Solera offers an eco-conscious menu of innovative non-alcoholic beverages inspired by nature, the sea, and the surrounding desert. Drinks are crafted with rare ingredients and sophisticated techniques, complemented by small bites sourced from the local Red Sea and desert
ecosystem. By day, Solera offers a surprising lunch menu of Asian-inspired crispy rice, tacos, and inventive sandwiches alongside light refreshments. By sunset, it transforms into Shebara’s most atmospheric gathering point, with tall palm trees, plush loungers, and an ever-changing sky over the Red Sea as the backdrop.
