Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve
Saudi Arabia
Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, occupies a Red Sea island setting where villas sit either on the sand or above the water. Shell-inspired forms, natural materials and broad windows connect the architecture to the coast, with private pools looking towards the sea. Telescopes in the villas make stargazing part of the stay, drawing on the region’s tradition of navigation by the night sky. Personal hosts help guests explore the destination, while Conservation House offers activities connected to Saudi culture and the marine environment. Neyrah Spa includes sea-view treatment rooms, a hammam and vitality and lap pools. Private dining can be arranged with a chef in the villa, whose kitchenette also supports cooking demonstrations or hands-on classes. These details give the resort a strong relationship with both sea and sky.
