Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

We stayed 2 nights in a sunset water villa on the main ring at Nujuma. As soon as we stepped out of the boat we were welcomed by the most amazing hotel staff I have ever met. No checkin desk, they take you directly to your villa after a welcome drink and refreshing towels. A BIG THANK you to our personal host Heena for making our stay unique. She was always there when needed but also respected our privacy when we wanted to be on our own. The service is fully personalized to make your stay perfect. From breakfast to dinner, all the staff knows your name and learns your preferences. The buggy ride to our villa on the wooden deck on the turquoise water was already an amazing experience in itself. And it was a big WOW when we enter the villa. Very modern but at the same time with traditional materials and what a view!!! The space inside was much bigger than we thought and full of light with the big windows. We loved the pool area and could spend all day there. The outside space was very private and quiet, we felt connected with the blue water. We also loved the white sand beach area to West. We used a bike to get around or a buggy. Our favorite restaurant was the seafood restaurant Tabrah, we recommend the salt crusted lobster and the local fish. Food was reasonably priced. Breakfast was also a highlight every day with great quality food and exceptional service (they have the best French pastries). We felt like we were in paradise and wished we could have stayed longer. If you need to choose one resort for your stay the Red Sea, we highly recommend Nujuma. The only area for improvement would be the boat transfer to the island. The island is far away and if the sea is rough the shared ride is long (45min) and not comfortable. The boat transfer is not operated by Ritz Carlton but by the Red Sea Global (and therefore not included). I found the whole Turtle Bay experience unpleasant. We drove our own car and it was confusing to know where we needed to go. The waiting room was cold and dark and reminded me of a meeting room at work. Next time we will look at private transfer options or sea plane.

Stayed for 3 nights and had a wonderful experience. Many thanks to Malitha - Our butler who made sure everything went well. Recommend and will visit again.

Our stay at this Red Sea resort was truly exceptional — the best hotel experience we’ve ever had. The service was flawless, the views were breathtaking, and both the resort facilities and the rooms were immaculately maintained. We stayed for four nights, and every single day we found ourselves in awe of how beautiful and peaceful everything was. Having stayed at many luxury resorts in the Maldives, I can confidently say that the sea here is even more stunning — truly beyond comparison. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend this resort to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay. Special thanks to Malitha Sasanka, our butler, who made every moment effortless and delivered truly world-class service throughout our stay. We are deeply grateful for his professionalism and warmth.

From start to finish, Nujuma, Ritz-Carlton Reserve delivered an experience beyond anything we’ve ever imagined. The beauty of the resort, the thoughtfulness of the staff, the food, the activities, and the sense of complete safety combined to create memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. This is not just a stay; it is a journey into another world. Where Nature Meets Design Nujuma feels otherworldly, as if you have stepped onto a different planet where architecture and nature blend seamlessly. The resort’s design frames the Red Sea in ways that make every view unforgettable. We stayed in an overwater villa that was both spacious and elegant, with a private plunge pool and direct access to the water. From sunrise to sunset, the setting made us feel like we were living inside a dream. The Dream Team of Hospitality Cynthia was the heart of our stay. She anticipated our every need with such intuition that it felt like she was two steps ahead at all times. Her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail defined our entire experience. Cynthia did not just provide service; she created memories, making us feel seen, cared for, and celebrated in every moment. She is truly the embodiment of world-class hospitality. Alongside Cynthia, Rishab made us feel instantly at home with his effortless kindness, and Yash consistently elevated each moment with precision and care. Like the resort itself, Cynthia, Rishab, and Yash are one to one with Nujuma, representing luxury at the highest caliber. Their presence turned what could have been just a beautiful vacation into something unforgettable. Senile’s leadership is evident in how seamlessly the entire team works together. Dining was equally special, led with heart by Maddie and supported by Mubashir, Daya, Vanessa, Ohud, Camille, Dominic, Prasanjit, and Cappuccino. Angelo in particular turned dining into an unforgettable experience. The housekeeping team also deserves recognition. Our villa was returned to absolute perfection morning and evening, always spotless and serene. Most impressively, the staff as a whole predicted our needs before we even voiced them. We never once had to lift a finger. Moments That Take Your Breath Away From snorkeling alongside dolphins to learning the art of latte-making in a private class, every experience felt tailor-made. Our spa day was equally unforgettable. The massage we received was beyond anything we have experienced before, truly the best massage of our lives, leaving us completely renewed. And then there were the skies. Each sunset and sunrise was unlike anything we have ever seen, vivid sweeping colors as if God Himself had taken a paintbrush to the horizon. These moments slowed time, grounding us in gratitude and wonder. Flavors to Remember Every meal was crafted with care and creativity, exceeding our expectations at every turn. Yash ensured that each dining experience felt personal, thoughtful, and perfectly tailored to us. Angelo brought an artistry to
