A Heritage of Harmony and Care

Sustainability

Tucked within the pristine seascape of Ummahat Island, Nujuma invites you to discover a world where the extraordinary unfolds in harmony with the untouched. Every experience is a crafted celebration of authenticity, care, and connection, a sanctuary where discovery and delight intertwine with reverence for nature. Fully powered by the sun and built to the highest sustainability standards, Nujuma is thoughtfully attuned to the rhythms of the natural world. From coral propagation and marine conservation to the bold mission of planting 50 million mangroves by 2030, each effort reflects a purposeful journey. These initiatives are part of the wider Red Sea Global destination, of which Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, is proudly a part. With an ambition to become one of the world’s largest Dark Sky certified destinations, Red Sea Global is shaping a place where barefoot elegance meets considered luxury, and every moment is designed to be a story worth savoring.

LEED Platinum Certification

Sustainable Distinction

Honored through Red Sea Global’s inclusion in the 2024 LEED Power Builders list, the resort reflects a commitment to thoughtful design, responsible construction, and sustainable operation.

More than a place to stay, it is a place that inspires. A destination where modern indulgence is guided by intention and every detail contributes to a more conscious and lasting legacy in hospitality.

Design Defined by Purpose

Architecture in Harmony with Nature

Drawing inspiration from the organic curves of the sea, the resort’s sweeping shell inspired architecture flows effortlessly with the natural landscape. Inside, refined interiors echo the region’s heritage through a palette of sea and sand tones and thoughtfully chosen natural materials.

Every detail has been carefully considered from the placement of accommodations to the seamless integration of sustainable technologies. Water conservation is embraced through innovative desalination powered by energy efficient systems ensuring that the pristine environment remains undisturbed.

Nujuma is not only a celebration of design but a profound commitment to honoring and preserving the island’s delicate biodiversity. Here architectural beauty and environmental stewardship coexist in perfect harmony.

Rooted in Local Flavors

Inspired by the destination, each menu at Nujuma is a celebration of diverse flavors, thoughtfully crafted from locally grown and responsibly sourced ingredients. While select produce is sourced from Tamala Farm, a cooperative supporting over 3,000 farms in the Tabuk region, our culinary approach also embraces a wider network of local suppliers. This commitment allows us to support regional agriculture, foster community connections, and champion sustainable practices across the Red Sea region.
