On the outer edge of Saudi Arabia's west coast, a quiet architectural story is unfolding. Set on Ummahat Island, a protected stretch of sand and sea only accessible by private boat or seaplane, Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve Residence, introduces a rare new standard for coastal living in the region.
Marriott International, Inc. today announced it has signed an agreement with The Red Sea Development Company to debut its distinguished Ritz-Carlton Reserve brand off the west coast of Saudi Arabia. Slated to debut in 2023, Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, is expected to form part of the eagerly anticipated Red Sea destination and offer a highly personalized leisure experience that blends intuitive and heartfelt service with stunning natural beauty and indigenous design. Nujuma will be the first property from the brand in the Middle East and joins an exclusive collection of only five Ritz-Carlton Reserves worldwide.
