Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve is an ultra-luxury private island sanctuary surrounded by the soft white sands and crystal-clear waters of Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea. Located 22km offshore from the mainland in the pristine Ummahat archipelago and one of just six other handpicked Ritz-Carlton Reserves worldwide, this exclusive island retreat is home to 63 one-to-three-bedroom beach and overwater villas. Mirroring the breathtaking surroundings, guest villas are housed within shell-inspired structures with interiors featuring textures borrowed from nature. Each villa has panoramic windows as well as an open living space with elevated privacy and direct access to the outdoors.

Opulent five-star amenities at Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve range from the lavish Neyrah Spa to dining at four speciality restaurants where experiences from romantic al fresco meals in a picturesque beach setting overlooking the water, to social gatherings inspired by Saudi tradition, and savouring the fisherman’s prized catch of the day, can be savoured.

As one would expect at an ultra-luxury private island resort, a fitness centre, swimming pools, children’s club, watersports and diving centre are also available. Edu-tainment is a special feature of a stay at Nujuma. Guests of all ages are encouraged to form a genuine connection with Saudi Arabia’s culture, community, and environment by participating in the sea and land-based activities offered by the reserve’s Conservation House.

Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve is reached by an electric sedan and speedboat transfer or a 25-minute seaplane flight from Red Sea International Airport.
