The Spa, Shebara
A modern spa rooted in the Red Sea
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

On Sheybarah Island, The Spa, Shebara draws its design from the surrounding desert landscape and its treatments from the Red Sea. The low-slung structure begins with a raw stone exterior that blends into the island's rocky terrain before opening into a minimalist space centered on a 2,700-year-old olive tree. A skylight above the tree brings natural light into the entrance, while stone, wood and neutral tones continue throughout the sanctuary.
The treatment menu carries the property's connection to the sea indoors, incorporating ingredients such as pearl, green caviar and seaweed into massages, facials and hammam rituals. Outside, treatment cabanas overlook the landscape, while a vitality pool and separate relaxation areas offer places to linger before or after appointments.
