Ultra PremierNujuma, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve
Ritz-Carlton Reserve (Marriott) · Private island resort · Ummahat Islands, Red Sea archipelago
Sixty-five villas designed by Foster + Partners in spherical, seashell-inspired forms, twenty of them overwater, spread across a private island reached by seaplane or speedboat from Red Sea International Airport. Interiors favor soaring open-plan ceilings, local artisan detailing and in-villa telescopes built for the coast's dark, unpolluted skies; every villa has a private plunge pool and either sunrise or sunset water views depending on orientation.
Why we recommend it
The design commitment is real, not decorative: this is one of the only resorts anywhere built explicitly around stargazing as a core amenity, and it opened to immediate industry recognition, being named Best New Hotel by Forbes Travel Guide within a year of opening.
