Nujuma, the first Ritz-Carlton Reserve in the Middle East, stands out as an architectural masterpiece flawlessly integrated into its stunning natural surroundings. Designed by Foster and Partners, the resort features architecture that evokes the harmonious lines of seashells, with elegant interiors crafted from natural materials and enriched with sea and sand tones. Geometric patterns inspired by Middle Eastern design add an aura of refined authenticity. The spaces are adorned with Arabic artifacts, traditional ceramics, and intricate tapestries celebrating local craftsmanship, while lush landscapes of indigenous plants highlight the pathways connecting the various areas of the resort.
Accessible exclusively by private boats or seaplanes, Nujuma offers 63 spectacular villas, both overwater and beachside, each equipped with private pools opening onto breathtaking sea views. The overwater villas are connected by an elevated ring walkway, offering panoramic views and direct access to the sea, while the villas on the white sandy beach are bathed in natural light that enhances the harmony of the surrounding environment. This design not only accentuates the pristine landscape but also ensures a living experience that celebrates the fusion of cutting-edge design and local tradition.
