Abstract
Resorts and hotels are essential components of the tourism and hospitality sector, providing accommodation and recreational opportunities for both locals and tourists. A primary goal of Saudi Vision 2030 is to promote the country as an attractive tourist destination, with a strong emphasis on enhancing tourism-related infrastructure, such as hotels and resorts, to accommodate the increasing number of visitors. Consequently, the development of a 5-star beach resort in Jeddah is crucial for offering a comprehensive facility that provides various types of accommodation, relaxation, and recreational opportunities, catering to the diverse needs and preferences of both local and international tourists. This research focuses on thoroughly understanding and examining the fundamental components and principles of designing a beach resort. The paper consists of several chapters. The first chapter introduces the concept of resorts, focusing on 5-star beach resorts, their services and amenities, key factors in resort planning, design guidelines, and sustainability in resort design. The second chapter presents a detailed case study of the Susona Bodrum Resort in Turkey, analyzing its architecture, functional layout, circulation, and spatial design. The third chapter explores Saudi Vision 2030, urban development in Jeddah, and evaluates potential sites for the project. The fourth chapter details the proposed building program for the resort, incorporating design guidelines, benchmarking, and site analysis to define key zones and requirements. The fifth chapter presents the final design project, including conceptual analysis and form generation process, architectural drawings, structural and HVAC systems, and site development, concluding with high-quality project renders. The appendix addresses building standards and space analysis, including hotel facilities, villa design typologies, and structural and electromechanical building systems. The outcome of this research lays the foundation for designing a beach resort by addressing the fundamental elements, principles, and design guidelines necessary for the successful implementation of a 5-star beach resort in Jeddah.
