Nikki Beach Hospitality Group made one of the most memorable impressions at TOURISE 2025, bringing its signature blend of coastal luxury, immersive energy, and lifestyle-driven hospitality to the heart of Riyadh. As Saudi Arabia accelerates its tourism transformation under Vision 2030, global brands that champion culture, culinary innovation, and experiential design are finding a natural alignment with the Kingdom’s vision, and Nikki Beach is no exception. The Group is open to potential partnerships and collaborations, such as joint ventures to develop new properties or strategic alliances with local developers to introduce their lifestyle concept in new locations. By aligning with local and international stakeholders, Nikki Beach aims to contribute to the region’s evolving hospitality landscape while expanding its global footprint.
From the moment guests arrived at the pop-up, the brand’s global DNA was unmistakable.
A bright, coastal-inspired space, refined yet relaxed, evoked the ambiance of its iconic international destinations. Within it, Corporate Executive Chef Alessandro Pizza curated a tasting journey rooted in Mediterranean traditions and global influences. With two decades of culinary leadership across Nikki Beach properties, his selection represented the brand’s celebrated Coastal Cuisine: fresh, elegant, sun-driven, and effortlessly cosmopolitan.
The sensory experience continued at the bespoke mocktail bar, led by Global Bar & Mixology Director Charles Barnes, whose crafted beverages embodied Nikki Beach’s trademark balance of playfulness and sophistication. And throughout the summit, the atmosphere was elevated by Mademoiselle Sabah, the group’s Global Music Ambassador, whose sets infused the space with the rhythmic, sun-kissed energy that defines Nikki Beach around the world.
“Our presence at TOURISE was a wonderful opportunity to share the essence of Nikki Beach Hospitality Group with the Saudi market,” said Nadine Gaynor, Global PR & Communications Director. “We have been inspired by the Kingdom’s hospitality vision and the meaningful conversations we had. While we don’t have confirmed projects at this time, we are very much looking forward to seeing how the future unfolds as the market continues to grow.”
A Preview of What’s Possible in Saudi Arabia
Beyond its pop-up presence, Nikki Beach’s participation at TOURISE signaled a wider shift unfolding across the Kingdom’s tourism ecosystem. Saudi Arabia is increasingly embracing hospitality models built on community, storytelling, and immersive design, concepts that align naturally with Nikki Beach’s global philosophy. A prime example of how these concepts thrive in similar settings is Dubai’s Alserkal Avenue, which has successfully integrated community spaces, art narratives, and engaging architecture to create a dynamic cultural district. Such projects demonstrate the feasibility of these models in the Gulf region, providing an inspiring blueprint for potential developments in Saudi Arabia.
With destinations like The Red Sea, AMAALA, Sindalah, and Jeddah Waterfront emerging as next-generation leisure hubs, the appetite for lifestyle-driven, emotionally resonant hospitality is rapidly growing. Saudi travelers, and visitors to the Kingdom are seeking experiences that blend culinary excellence, wellness, design, and entertainment into cohesive, memorable moments.
While Nikki Beach Hospitality Group has not yet announced confirmed Saudi projects, the leadership team expressed strong optimism about the future.

A Glimpse Into the Future
As Saudi Arabia defines a new global standard for luxury, wellness, coastal living, and experiential travel, the presence of Nikki Beach at TOURISE 2025 felt less like a pop-up and more like a preview, providing a glimpse into vibrant, elevated partnerships that could shape the next chapter of the Kingdom’s hospitality scene. Nikki Beach is committed to tailoring its offerings to align with Saudi culture and regulations, ensuring market fit and compliance. This includes customizing their lifestyle experiences to reflect local traditions and adhering to national regulations, demonstrating their dedication to serving both the global and local markets effectively.
Celebrating transformation is at the core of Saudi Arabia’s tourism vision. At TOURISE 2025, the convergence of these two energies was showcased in a vivid, memorable snapshot of a potential future collaboration: a setting that was bright, warm, and effortlessly sophisticated, alive with the promise of what the future holds.
