Introducing Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, nestled on the serene Ummahat Island in the heart of The Red Sea. This exclusive retreat, the first of its kind in the Middle East, promises an unparalleled escape into the untouched wonders of Saudi Arabian culture and the mesmerizing beauty of the Red Sea.
Crafted by Foster and Partners, Nujuma’s architecture mirrors the natural allure of its surroundings, with shell-inspired designs and soothing hues that seamlessly blend with the azure waters and sandy shores. Each of the 63 villas, whether perched overwater or nestled on the beach, offers luxurious accommodations and private pools, inviting guests to unwind in unparalleled comfort while marveling at the starlit skies through telescopes provided on each deck.
At Nujuma, every moment is an opportunity for discovery and connection. Dive into the depths of the Red Sea’s vibrant coral reefs, embark on guided trails across majestic desert dunes, or simply relax and rejuvenate at Neyrah Spa, where holistic wellness rituals draw inspiration from global traditions and regional ingredients.
The culinary journey at Nujuma is a celebration of Arabian hospitality, with five distinct dining experiences paying homage to the rich maritime heritage of the Umluj region. From Tabrah, where seafood specialties honor the bounty of the sea, to Maia, an intimate terrace offering astrology-inspired refreshments under the starlit sky, each dining venue promises an unforgettable gastronomic experience.
But Nujuma is more than just a luxury retreat—it’s a gateway to understanding and preserving Saudi Arabian culture and the fragile ecosystems of the Red Sea. The Conservation House serves as a hub for immersive experiences led by local experts, while sustainability initiatives underscore the resort’s commitment to preserving the natural beauty that surrounds it.
As Tony Coveney, General Manager of Nujuma, aptly puts it, “Nujuma is unlike any other property in the region, a pinnacle of luxury with discovery and sustainability at its core.” With its transformative experiences and unparalleled setting, Nujuma invites discerning travelers to embark on a journey of wonder and connection, where every moment is infused with magic.
