Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve | Red Sea Project, Saudi Arabia | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Red Sea Project, Saudi Arabia

5 stars

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.

“Paradise in the Red Sea”

Oct 27, 202522nathaliev

We stayed 2 nights in a sunset water villa on the main ring at Nujuma. As soon as we stepped out of the boat we were welcomed by the most amazing hotel staff I have ever met. No checkin desk, they take you directly to your villa after a welcome drink and refreshing towels. A BIG THANK you to our personal host Heena for making our stay unique. She was always there when needed but also respected our privacy when we wanted to be on our own. The service is fully personalized to make your stay perfect. From breakfast to dinner, all the staff knows your name and learns your preferences. The buggy ride to our villa on the wooden deck on the turquoise water was already an amazing experience in itself. And it was a big WOW when we enter the villa. Very modern but at the same time with traditional materials and what a view!!! The space inside was much bigger than we thought and full of light with the big windows. We loved the pool area and could spend all day there. The outside space was very private and quiet, we felt connected with the blue water. We also loved the white sand beach area to West. We used a bike to get around or a buggy. Our favorite restaurant was the seafood restaurant Tabrah, we recommend the salt crusted lobster and the local fish. Food was reasonably priced. Breakfast was also a highlight every day with great quality food and exceptional service (they have the best French pastries). We felt like we were in paradise and wished we could have stayed longer. If you need to choose one resort for your stay the Red Sea, we highly recommend Nujuma. The only area for improvement would be the boat transfer to the island. The island is far away and if the sea is rough the shared ride is long (45min) and not comfortable. The boat transfer is not operated by Ritz Carlton but by the Red Sea Global (and therefore not included). I found the whole Turtle Bay experience unpleasant. We drove our own car and it was confusing to know where we needed to go. The waiting room was cold and dark and reminded me of a meeting room at work. Next time we will look at private transfer options or sea plane.

“Great experience!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Extraordinary Family Experience — Unmatched Luxury and Heartfelt Hospitality at Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve”

Oct 11, 2025Elye P

Our family stay at Nujuma was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived by boat, we were greeted with genuine warmth and care that set the tone for an incredible experience. The resort is breathtaking — surrounded by crystal-clear waters, stunning architecture, and a deep sense of peace and privacy. The staff were truly outstanding. A special thank you to Ikbal from the kids’ club, who greeted us upon arrival with thoughtful gifts and a beautiful birthday surprise for our youngest son — including a cake and heartfelt celebration. When she learned my wife was expecting our third baby boy, she went above and beyond to write a handwritten card with three blue stars, a gesture we will never forget. Her kindness and sincerity made our stay deeply personal and meaningful. We would also like to thank Malitha, our personal helper, who was absolutely amazing — attentive, kind, and incredibly efficient. He ensured that every detail of our stay was perfectly arranged and made the entire experience seamless. Ekaterina was also very kind and welcoming, adding to the resort’s warm and caring atmosphere. We had an amazing family time, from peaceful mornings to unforgettable sunsets in the pool. Every moment at Nujuma reflected true luxury combined with genuine human connection. It is a place where beauty, comfort, and heartfelt service come together perfectly. We left feeling deeply grateful — and already dreaming of our next visit to this remarkable resort.
