Fact Sheet: Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

Born from the stars of the infinite sky above and the colorful reef below, Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve carries on the traditions of those who traveled across uncharted territory to discover pristine natural beauty, rich cultural heritage and flavors as vivid as the sea itself. Surrounded by crystal-clear water and soft white sand, Nujuma is an unspoiled sanctuary where exploration unveils a constellation of unforgettable experiences.

Cradled by the Red Sea and guided by the stars, Nujuma is where luxury meets legacy. Located in the untouched Ummahat Islands and surrounded by the world’s fourth-largest barrier reef, it invites guests to explore pristine coral gardens and the secrets of the Blue Hole. Each experience is personal—led by resident experts in astronomy, culture, nature, and wellness. From stargazing to Moringa healing rituals at Neyrah Spa, every moment inspires. Spaces are enriched with Hijazi patterns, curated artifacts, and immersive heritage. Sustainability is at the core—through mangrove regeneration and locally inspired spa rituals. Nujuma is not just a destination; it’s a journey inward. Hospitality is heartfelt, comfort is intentional, and nature is celebrated. Here, you don’t just check in. You uncover a part of yourself.

The path toward transformation is illuminated at Neyrah Spa, where precious ingredients and simple ceremonies foster a profound connection to nature and self. Designed to inspire reflection and clarity, this indoor-outdoor oasis borrows from the sea and land to rejuvenate the mind, body and spirit.

The Conservation House is an opportunity for guests of all ages to form a genuine connection with the Saudi Arabian culture, community and environment through activities on land and in the sea.

Experience the Red Sea with adventures at and below the water’s surface including kayaking, sailing, windsurfing and snorkeling and diving excursions that explore the thriving, colorful coral reefs.

Set amid the soft white sand or perched above the azure sea, villas mirror their surroundings with shell-inspired structures and interiors finished with found objects, local art and colors, textures and materials that borrow from nature. Designed to offer both elevated privacy and direct access to the outdoors, each of the 65 villas features panoramic windows, open living space, a sea-view pool and a telescope to discover Saudi Arabia’s enchanting star-filled sky.
