LUXURY TRAVEL 67
villas crafted by Foster + Partners and Wimberly Interiors, Nujuma offers an architectural dialogue between dune-inspired forms and the textures of the Saudi coastline. Curved silhouettes and organic lines evoke shells, breeze, and salt, all while treading lightly on the land.
Inside, homes are layered with neutral tones, organic textures, and understated finishes that reflect regional artistry and the tranquillity of island life. Expansive terraces and floor-to-ceiling openings frame the sea, while details such as handwoven rugs and locally inspired ceramics give each space its own rhythm. Residences open directly onto white-sand beaches and uninterrupted views, with private pools and generous indoor-outdoor areas designed for slow living.
With layouts ranging from one- to two-bedroom beachfront homes, starting at approximately 149 square metres, each has been designed to feel expansive, yet grounded. It is made for hosting, retreating, or simply moving at the pace of the island.
Each home is supported by the Ritz-Carlton Reserve’ s discreet and intuitive hospitality. From dedicated butlers and private chefs to wellness advisors and on-call concierges, service is tailored to every resident. Homeowners also enjoy access to Neyrah Spa, a sea-facing wellness sanctuary offering holistic therapies and treatments rooted in local traditions. At the same time, those seeking movement can explore yoga, meditation or active pursuits arranged entirely to their preference.
Beyond the villas, the island connects to the experiences of The Red Sea. Residents can enjoy diving and snorkelling across vibrant coral sites with Galaxea, join paddleboarding and overwater activities with WAMA, or explore desert trails and guided hikes curated by Akun. Days can begin with sunrise over the reef and end with astronomy-led stargazing under some of the clearest skies in the region.
Jaidev Menezes, Regional Vice President- Mixed-Use Development, EMEA at Marriott International, said“ Nujuma marks an exciting new chapter for Ritz-Carlton Reserve, and we’ re proud to introduce the brand’ s first residential offering in the Middle East. Every element of the experience has been designed to reflect the Reserve’ s core values
