Ummahat Islands, Saudi Arabia
Nujuma A Ritz-carlton Reserve
Where Uncharted Meets Extraordinary
What it is
Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, is an ultra-luxury resort nestled within the unspoiled Ummahat Islands of Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea.
What it isn't
Nujuma is not a bustling mega-resort or a traditional city hotel.
What we think
Nujuma feels like stepping into a hidden corner of the world, where the modern world fades away, and the surrounding nature is what truly takes center stage. With just 63 overwater and beachfront villas, each with private pools and panoramic views, the design and layout focus on quiet sophistication and the utmost in privacy. The resort’s layout, designed by Foster + Partners, blends modernist architecture with local materials, creating a minimalist aesthetic that feels intimate yet luxurious. The culinary experiences at Nujuma are just as special, with four distinctive restaurants offering Mediterranean and Middle Eastern-inspired fare, each with a focus on locally sourced, sustainable ingredients. Whether it’s diving in the vibrant coral reefs or unwinding at the Neyrah Spa, Nujuma provides guests with plenty of opportunities to refresh and renew. The resort’s activities, from private yacht charters to cultural experiences at the Conservation House, are all designed to provide a deeper connection to the surroundings, making this a perfect escape for those looking to explore, relax, and be enveloped by nature in a luxurious setting.
You're here because

The Moment
