Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve Residence
Ummahat Island, Saudi Arabia. Ritz-Carlton Reserve. Beachfront villas on a Red Sea island reachable only by boat or seaplane.
The island is the address, and there is no road to it. Ummahat lies roughly twenty-six kilometres off the Saudi coast; arrival is by chartered boat or seaplane, and the crossing is priced and scheduled as part of the stay. The Reserve opened in May 2024, the first Ritz-Carlton Reserve in the Middle East.
Foster + Partners drew the villas, Wimberly Interiors finished them, and the shell-inspired forms answer the dunes rather than the brand book. The statutory seller is The Red Sea Real Estate Company I LLC, using the Ritz-Carlton marks under licence — the hotel company neither owns nor sells these residences, and says so itself.
The register carries an unresolved count. Two independent published sources put the collection at nineteen villas; a site visit on 5 September 2026 reported eleven, with nine sold. Both figures stand on the record until documents settle it. A register that quietly picks the nicer number is not a register.
Who it is not for
Not for a buyer who wants to arrive by car, or at short notice: every visit is a scheduled crossing. Not for anyone who wants a city within reach — the nearest one is a flight away, and that is the product rather than a limitation.

The register publishes the facts and the rule; it does not say whether any purchase qualifies. Eligibility attaches to a sale, not to a building, and the register is not immigration counsel.
