Muhammad Al Nasser has been appointed Resort Manager at Miraval The Red Sea in Umluj, Saudi Arabia
Hyatt has appointed Muhammad Al Nasser as resort manager of the upcoming Miraval The Red Sea. The wellness-focused property is set to open by the end of 2025 as part of the Red Sea Project in Saudi Arabia.
With over 20 years of experience in hospitality operations, Al Nasser will lead the opening and day-to-day management of Miraval's first resort outside the United States.
His responsibilities include aligning the resort's operations with Miraval's wellness-driven model, overseeing sustainability initiatives and ensuring service delivery meets global standards.
The resort will feature 180 keys and house what is expected to be the largest spa in the destination. The Life is Balance Spa will span approximately 3,700 sq m, offering 39 treatment rooms and spaces designed for reflection and wellness programming.
Prior to joining Miraval, Al Nasser played a key role at hotels including Hotel Al Khozama, Crowne Plaza Riyadh-RDC and InterContinental Riyadh. He has managed multi-property portfolios, led pre-opening efforts and implemented revenue strategies for performance growth, his new employers say.
Al Nasser holds a degree in business management and has completed executive education at Oxford and Harvard.
Hyatt's strategy at the Red Sea
Miraval The Red Sea is one of two Hyatt-operated resorts at the Red Sea Project, the other being Grand Hyatt The Red Sea. Positioned as an anchor property, the Grand Hyatt will be the largest hotel on Shura Island with 430 keys and extensive F&B offerings.
Both properties are part of the Red Sea Project's first phase, which aims to deliver 16 hotels by completion and 50 hotels by 2030.
Miraval The Red Sea reflects Hyatt's commitment to wellness-focused hospitality in the Middle East. Globally, the brand operates only a few properties, making this expansion a strategic move.
Hyatt has prioritised Saudi Arabia as a key growth market under its 'Grow With Intent' strategy. In April 2025, it appointed Briana Swift as regional vice president of development to lead the company's expansion in the Kingdom, with a goal to triple its portfolio by 2030.
