Overview

Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, is part of the Red Sea Project. As such, it invites all its guests into an entirely new world, which is set to become Earth's biggest regenerative tourist destination.

This hotel was one of the very first luxury hotels in the world to offer its services on Ummahat Island. This location was chosen because an unspoiled coral reef surrounds it and has a pristine natural beauty to match. Nujuma believes we should care for and treat people with respect. The result is a stay that allows guests to immerse themselves in the culture of Saudi Arabia.

The hotel was built with natural materials. Its interior has been decorated with Hijazi designs and local artwork in a soft palette. Choose a Sea-View Villa to enjoy the ocean views or Beach Villas on soft white sand. All have large floor-to-ceiling glass windows that flood each room with light.

The dining offers a mix of international options. Six pavilions, each inspired by Arabic bazaars, are featured. The Levantine Restaurant, which features an Arabic clay oven and a French-style pastry shop, is also on-site. Tabrah offers the best seafood, while Maia, a mocktail bar in an observatory, serves drinks under a starry sky. Jamaa, on the beach, brings a Mediterranean touch.
