Sahibat Al Fakhamah (Sevilla Bay): 20 Beachfront Villas in Ishbiliya, Al Khobar

Direct sea view is one of the most overused phrases in Gulf real estate marketing — and one of the least verified. At Sahibat Al Fakhamah, known to Yamin's design team internally as Sevilla Bay, it happens to be literal: the development sits in Al Khobar's Ishbiliya district, on the water, within sight of the King Fahd Causeway.

An Intentionally Small Number: 20

Yamin Real Estate capped this development at 20 villas — a number chosen for exclusivity rather than maximizing a land parcel. The project's own internal name, Sahibat Al Fakhamah — "the mistress of luxury" — is not a stretch when the villa count itself is scarce enough that each one functions closer to a private estate than a development unit.

The Architecture: Built With Ahmed Al-Mousa Engineering Consultants

The design work behind Sevilla Bay was done in collaboration with Ahmed Al-Mousa Engineering Consultants, and it shows in a layout built around how a family actually moves through a waterfront home across a full day:

• Ground floor (≈97.4 sqm): reception and hospitality spaces, built for the majlis culture of receiving guests without exposing the private family areas above.
• First floor (≈114.8 sqm): the private suite, family bedrooms, and everyday living space, set apart from the entertaining floor below.
• Roof annex (≈82.8 sqm): a dedicated entertainment level with panoramic sea views — the floor most families end up using most, once the sun goes down over the Gulf.

Total built area across the three levels runs to roughly 295 sqm, on a land plot of approximately 181 sqm per villa, within a project footprint of just over 5,000 sqm.

Why Ishbiliya, Specifically

Ishbiliya is one of the few Al Khobar districts where a villa buyer can genuinely secure direct waterfront frontage rather than a "sea-facing" unit several streets back from the actual coastline. Proximity to the King Fahd Causeway — the link between Saudi Arabia and Bahrain — also means the location functions for residents who travel regularly between the two markets, in addition to its lifestyle appeal. International capital continues to take a long-term interest in this segment of the Saudi market: Knight Frank's 2026 Destination Saudi research points to billions of dollars in private global capital positioned to benefit from a sustained, long-term view on Saudi real estate — waterfront, low-supply villa stock like Sevilla Bay is exactly the kind of asset that thesis is built around.

Not Just a Home — a Position

For buyers thinking about Sevilla Bay as much as an asset as a residence, our comparison piece, Real Estate vs. Gold vs. Stocks: Where Should You Invest in Saudi Arabia?, lays out how a scarce, waterfront asset class behaves differently from more liquid investment vehicles over a multi-year hold.

If your priority is privacy over water views, Arak Villas in Al Rakah delivers the same Yamin build standard in an inland, garden-villa setting instead.

Delivered on the Same Standard

Sevilla Bay carries forward the same four commitments described in Yamin's brand story — credibility, sustainability, innovation, and quality — applied to a very different architectural brief than Yamin's apartment and inland-villa projects. Handover is scheduled for 2027.
