Overview

A resort born from movement

We developed a complete visual identity system rooted in motion and nature. The iconic symbol — inspired by sunrays and the movement of athletes — functions across multiple color systems: a vibrant multi-color palette for the resort experience, a premium gold version for luxury touchpoints, and a monochrome system for versatile applications.

The typographic system balances a fluid, sporty wordmark in English with a beautifully crafted Arabic counterpart — ensuring the brand communicates equally across both cultures and audiences.

The Symbol

Five ribbons, one achievement

At the heart of the identity is the Achievement Star: five ribbons that cross at the centre, the way athletes and guests meet at the village. Each ribbon carries a value of the resort: activity and adventure, unity and growth, harmony and balance, movement and speed, energy and youth.

The ribbons also become the brand’s graphic language. Flowing through every layout, they stand for movement, energy and support, and give each touchpoint the rhythm of sport.

Guest Experience

From check-in to coastal dining

The identity follows the guest through their stay. Key-card sleeves in the resort’s colours carry the line “the key to your dreams”, door hangers and dining menus pick up the ribbons, and the ribbons return as art in every room.
