Welcome to Nujuma, Saudi Arabia’s first overwater Ritz-Carlton Reserve - where barefoot luxury meets desert island drama. Think private villas floating above the Red Sea, your own butler on speed dial, and stargazing mocktails under skies that go on forever. This is five-star travel with a Saudi twist - sustainably powered, impossibly private, and unapologetically indulgent. Want action? The coral’s calling. Snorkel or dive straight into one of the world’s most untouched reef systems. Feeling zen? The Neyrah Spa blends ancient healing rituals with just the right amount of smugness. Kids in tow? They’ll be off hunting treasure and learning local lore while you toast to a few precious moments of quiet. This is Nujuma. And it’s extraordinary.

Stefan and the entire team at the Ritz-Carlton reserve made our family stay unbelievably amazing. Small personal touches, the attention to detail and continuous care. The villa was out of this world gorgeous and gives Maldives a run for its money. Bucket list location for sure. Would recommend and would come again.
