Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, a Private Island on the Red Sea

Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, opened as the first Ritz-Carlton Reserve in the Middle East, a 63-key private island resort in the Ummahat Islands within Saudi Arabia's Red Sea destination. Its seashell-inspired villas rise over the water and along the sand, pairing futuristic design with authentic Saudi culture in the brand's most exclusive tier.

The resort earned a Forbes Five-Star award for 2026, along with recognition on Travel and Leisure's It List and two Michelin Keys, and its Neyrah Spa anchors a wellness program of sound healing, meditation, and energy-balancing therapies in sea-facing suites. Among its early admirers, the footballer Cristiano Ronaldo purchased two villas at the resort.

The Red Sea is emerging as one of the world's most ambitious new luxury destinations, and Nujuma offers its most intimate and exclusive stay. The Forbes recognition confirms an exceptional arrival.
