Nujuma is the seventh Ritz-Carlton Reserve property to join a global collection of rare and transformative estates, and the first in the Middle East region. Opened in May 2024 as part of The Red Sea destination — Red Sea Global’s ambitious eco-tourism project on the west coast of Saudi Arabia — the resort occupies Ummahat Island, sharing the archipelago with the St. Regis Red Sea Resort. The two resorts together represent a landmark achievement in sustainable luxury development. The resort’s 63 villas — a mix of overwater and beachfront configurations — are designed to mirror the radiance and form of seashells.
Each villa is finished with found objects, local artistry, vibrant color palettes and natural materials that echo the surrounding sea and sand. Every villa features panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, an open living space, a private sea-view pool, a kitchenette and a telescope for stargazing — connecting guests to the ancient nomadic tradition of seeking guidance from the stars. Sustainability is central to Nujuma’s identity. The resort is LEED Platinum Certified and powered entirely by solar energy. Its cuisine celebrates local harvests, and guests are invited to nurture the island through mangrove planting. With over 28,000 mangroves now thriving on site, turtle nests actively protected, and a water renewal system sustaining native flora, every stay contributes to a living conservation legacy.
Each guest is welcomed by a personal host — Najm or Najma — who serves as a dedicated guide throughout the stay, anticipating every need and curating bespoke experiences that weave together Saudi cultural heritage, marine adventure, wellness, and gastronomy. The result is a deeply personal, transformative journey rooted in the ancient spirit of Arabian hospitality.

As a specialist luxury travel agency serving Saudi and GCC guests, we provide tailor-made packages, personalized experiences, and unparalleled service for those seeking the finest luxury travel in Saudi Arabia.
Middle Eastern / Levantine / French Patisserie | Mon–Thu & Sat–Sun: 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM | Fri: 7:00 AM – 10:00 PM | Dress: Casual
Named for its six pavilions, Sita is the resort’s all-day dining destination — an immersive bazaarinspired experience inspired by the ancient trading routes of the Arabian Peninsula. The venue
is divided into two main areas: a French-style patisserie offering delicate sweet and savory
creations paired with specialty coffees and teas; and a Levantine restaurant anchored by a
monumental clay oven that perfumes the space with the aroma of freshly baked bread. Guests
are invited to browse the extensive spice library, enjoy moment-prepared hummus, and
participate in hands-on bread-making master classes. Colorful mezze, vibrant Levantine dishes, and a warm communal spirit make Sita a true celebration of Saudi hospitality.
Seafood / Saudi Fishing Tradition | Mon & Wed–Sun: 6:00 PM – 11:00 PM | Tuesday: Closed | Dress: Formal
Tabrah is a culinary love letter to Saudi Arabia’s centuries-old fishing tradition. The restaurant
embodies the communal spirit of the fisherman’s family — gathering around the table to share
the prized catch of the day and the stories it carries. Every dish on the menu reflects the bounty
of the Red Sea, prepared with deep respect for the ingredients and the culture that inspired
them. Guests dine in an intimate, beautifully designed setting that channels the warmth, ritual, and pride of a coastal Saudi community coming together over food, fellowship, and the sea.
International / Light Fare | Mon–Thu & Sat–Sun: 11:00 AM – 9:00 PM | Fri: 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM | Dress: Casual
Jamaa — meaning ‘gathering’ in Arabic — is the resort’s relaxed, sun-drenched outdoor dining
destination. Positioned with an uninterrupted view of the Red Sea, this shaded beachside
retreat is the perfect place to unwind over light, fresh fare, refreshing beverages and shisha. The menu is international in spirit, drawing on seasonal ingredients and the flavors of the
surrounding region. Whether guests arrive for a lazy mid-morning brunch, a leisurely poolside
lunch, or an early evening gathering, Jamaa offers the kind of effortless, open-air dining that
feels as natural and nourishing as the sea breeze itself.
Non-Alcoholic Cocktails / Light Bites | Daily: 1:00 PM – 1:00 AM | Dress: Smart Casual
As the sun descends below the horizon and the stars emerge over the Red Sea, Maia comes
alive. Named for the brightest star in the Pleiades constellation, this sophisticated sunset lounge
invites guests to connect with the celestial world under the guidance of resident star experts. The bar’s focus on astronomy extends into its extraordinary mocktail menu — every concoction
is inspired by the night sky, from constellation-themed blends to galaxy-hued elixirs crafted with
rare ingredients and meticulous technique. Maia is equal parts bar, observatory, and storytelling
experience, offering one of the most unique and memorable evenings in luxury hospitality.
Neyrah Spa is Nujuma’s award-winning wellness sanctuary, recognized as Saudi Arabia’s Best Resort Spa by the World Spa Awards for both 2024 and 2025, and winner of the Best Spa at the Ohlala Spa & Wellness Awards Bahrain 2025.
