Inspired by the words ‘adrenaline’, ‘arena’ and ‘dream’, ADRENA embodies the perfect mix of excitement, energy, and imagination. It is led and managed by Red Sea Sports & Entertainment Co. which also operates WAMA, specializing in water sports, Galaxea offering underwater experiences, and Akun delivering on land adventures. ADRENA is designed to give guests the opportunity to embark on new experiences and try out action sports in world class facilities with an expert team and take their adventures beyond the park and into the wild.

There will also be a wakeboarding lake, snorkel trails, an incredible 6m deep diving pool, as well as activities and moments for the whole family including a children’s waterplay area and a floating inflatable obstacle course. There is also a skatepark, a BMX pump track, and areas for beach sports such as football and volleyball. At the more extreme end there is an overwater zip line and a 10m high ‘slip ‘n’ fly’ slide.

The district is designed with accessibility in mind, featuring zero-depth entry at many of the pools and adaptable options for activities like bodyboarding, paddleboarding, diving, and snorkeling. This ensures guests with mobility and accessibility needs can enjoy the facilities.

ADRENA’s design follows RSG’s responsible development. It utilizes a sustainable closed-loop system drawing seawater in, filtering and circulating it through the attractions, and then returning it once again clean and filtered. Any freshwater used across the district is reused for irrigation, further minimizing environmental impacts.

The Red Sea welcomed its first guests in 2023 and now has nine hotels open, along with Thuwal Private Retreat off the coast of Jeddah. Red Sea International Airport (RSI) is the gateway to the destination for guests and residents alike and is receiving a regular schedule of domestic and international flights from Riyadh, Jeddah, Dubai, Doha, and Milan.
