1Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, Saudi Arabia
Ritz-Carlton Reserve properties are all designed to offer a private, transformative travel experience focused on human connection and a blend of local culture, heritage, and environment. The Nujuma resort follows the template. It’s a luxury destination with 63 one- to four-bedroom water and beach villas and a range of luxurious amenities and services. There is a spa, multiple culinary venues, swimming pools, a retail area, and a Conservation Center. Occupying a coveted spot in a small archipelago in Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea, Nujuma makes for an easy choice for travelers seeking a distinct and luxurious escape in a chic, relaxed, and intimate setting.
Nujuma is one of the exclusive, uber-luxurious resorts that form part of The Red Sea Project. It’s a destination the Saudi government is pouring vast amounts of money into building essentially from scratch. This ambitious — and expensive — development covers 28,000 square kilometers and a chain of islands on the west coast of Saudi Arabia.
