Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve occupies two of the Ummahat Islands in Saudi Arabia’s emerging Red Sea destination. The resort is surrounded by white sand, intensely clear water and one of the world’s largest barrier-reef systems, creating a sense of true geographic isolation.

Accommodation is entirely in one-, two- and three-bedroom villas positioned either over the water or directly on the beach. Every villa includes a private pool and expansive deck, while interiors draw on shells, stars and regional craft without competing with the natural setting.

Personal hosts are available around the clock, helping shape days around diving, snorkeling, sailing, conservation and cultural experiences. The resort’s solar-powered infrastructure and ecological programs make environmental stewardship unusually visible in the guest experience.

Neyrah Spa combines sea-view treatment rooms, vitality and lap pools, a hammam and outdoor treatment spaces. Dining includes Levantine cooking at Sita, seafood at Tabrah and additional venues built around regional ingredients and the surrounding sea.

Nujuma is best for travelers who want the Red Sea to feel pristine and exploratory rather than developed. Its villa scale, reef access and highly personalized Reserve service create a particularly private version of Saudi Arabia’s new coastal luxury.
