Nujuma is a new hyper-luxury resort on the Red Sea coast that is set to become a new destination for global tourists. It is part of a masterplan for the special enterprise zone that includes several other inland developments and an airport, which will serve island resorts across the region.
Nujuma is positioned almost at the edge of the Al Wajh lagoon, towards the northwest from the hub island, making it accessible by boat or seaplane. The exclusive resort frames an exceptionally picturesque body of crystalline sea called the Blue Hole, known for its exquisite hues in the water. Much like a jewel in a necklace, a circular ring of over-water villas connects with two linear islands on either side. The island offers exclusive beach villas alongside other exclusive amenities such as the beach club, a spa and restaurants.
The villas are conceived as a kit of parts – manufactured offsite to minimise disruption – made from prefabricated and sustainable timber with rope cladding to visually blend with the beautiful natural setting. Designed with a light touch approach in mind, the low-density structures are nestled within the landscape. The units have been carefully planned to protect the precious ecology of the islands for future generations.
