Saudi National Day is a moment of pride, reflection, and celebration across the Kingdom. It is a time when heritage and progress come together, reminding us of the journey the nation has taken and the horizons yet to be reached. This year, Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, offers an extraordinary setting to experience the occasion. Tucked away on the pristine Ummahat Islands along Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast, Nujuma is more than a resort—it is a sanctuary of culture, nature, and refined discovery.
A Landmark Destination
As the first Ritz-Carlton Reserve in the Middle East, Nujuma marks an important milestone in the Kingdom’s luxury landscape. The resort embodies the philosophy of the Reserve brand: rare locations, intimate scale, and immersive, transformative experiences. With 65 beach and overwater villas, each with private pools, sweeping sea views, and elegant interiors, Nujuma invites guests into a world where seclusion meets sophistication.
The architecture itself is inspired by seashells and the natural rhythms of the sea, built with locally sourced materials that harmonize with the surrounding environment. Every design choice reflects Saudi heritage and respect for the land, echoing the country’s broader vision for sustainable development.
A Stay Rooted in Culture and Celebration
For Saudi National Day, Nujuma has introduced a seasonal stay offer that reflects the spirit of the occasion. Guests booking a minimum of two nights will enjoy SAR 500 in dining credit per night, daily breakfast, and the attentive service of a Personal Host. It is a chance to embrace Saudi hospitality at its finest, while immersing oneself in experiences that honor local culture.
Beyond the villas, guests will find four distinctive dining venues that celebrate storytelling through food. From Red Sea delicacies to reimagined regional flavors, every menu has been crafted to connect diners with the history and bounty of the land. Culinary artistry is complemented by a wealth of immersive activities, including marine exploration, guided stargazing, and wellness experiences at Neyrah Spa.
