Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve

Were to start . this review is coming from a blessed solo traveler who gets to travel the world always with well known international brands and i rarely have the urge to review anything . I made a visit before to the maldives ritz carlton and for that experience i wanted to try the Nujuma reserve chasing the same feeling in a new setting and i spoil myself with these trips once i am very overwhelmed and stressed out and they have a way of making all that stress go away. the whole experience surpassed my expectations and going this detailed about the customers experience is fascinating. from the moment you step on that boat to the minute you are waved goodbye you are detached from the real world. the island is pure heaven with all those mangroves , crystal clear water, sandy white beaches , the coral reef nearby is pure magic. the stargazing circle at night with Mr. Habib it was truly magical the amount of passion and knowledge he delivers makes me wanting to learn more and more about it. The staff cant be more professional from the management team , to the najm Sojun who i believe is a true asset to the Nujuma he has gone above and beyond to ensure everything i need is met, the whole staff has a way to tailor little experiences to make you happy with small gestures . The Saudi Coffee everywhere , the welcome from Mr, Anas at the reading and cultural center let me say your energy is contagious it truly shows how passionate and welcoming you are, honestly Saudi hospitality at its best. The hand made book markers on my bed, the recipe card of my favorite drink, caps and water bottles when they see you roam around the island in the heat , a ginger drink because they saw me unwell in the restaurant they followed me with that drink to my room without me saying anything. Harish the most kind soul the whole team in charge of the restaurants i cant say enough. Diyah you are true najma. The galaxia center staff very informative and professional i had the most amazing experiences under water and Baya the professional diver who kept my panic attacks while diving under his calm control and demeanor. He has his own way of encouraging me under water and the excitements he made me feel when seeing all those wonders under the sea. Baya its not a diving lesson its a lesson for life to stay controlled and calm. the housekeeping team , restaurants staff camelle thanks for your thoughtful itinerary and beautiful smile in the morning and my extra hot latte. Tousif thanks for your morning talks and your positivity is contiguous. The architecture of the property is out of this world the earthy feel of everything around you makes you calm and connected to nature. the villas are huge compared to the Maldives with separated living area and a good sized pool. i will be missing my morning walks , morning dips in the sea, morning small talks , the calm and the serene sunsets and the energy of the island life. Nujuma i will be back.

Thank you Stefan for the exceptional service and the hospitality. Nujuma was truly unforgettable. Amazing service and warm hospitality!!

It was an incredible journey for me and my husband. Amazing location, Privacy, cleanliness, services, Star Gazing unforgettable with Mr. Habeeb and thanks to Mr. Sujon for his hospitality and assistance. Surely this experience will be repeated 💖 Thank you all for making it unforgettable HoneyMoon 🌙

The room was beautiful and luxurious. Heated toilets, a kitchenette, 1.5 bathrooms, speakers (that we used in the private pool). Leah assisted us during our stay and she was extremely thoughtful and attentive. The whole staff was friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we experienced a great honeymoon. Everyone in every department addressed us by our names and added a special touch to recognize our honeymoon. The stargazing lesson was with an astrophysicist and we enjoyed all the education, research, and intent of his lessons and the reason behind the name, “nujuma.” To be honest this resort was not our first choice, but are so so happy that we experienced Nujuma. We have never had a more magical, hospitable, and breathtaking experience. We are certainly missing the sunset and all the great staff today

The Ritz resort was luxurious and comfortable and I enjoyed the beach villa very much and the food was very delicious but the private pool was very small

The place is truly a heaven. The staff are friendly, and the services were outstanding and maintained to high standards. Everything from arrival to departure was well organized. Breakfast was perfect and offered a good variety. Lunch and dinner options were limited but elegant—though adding more variety would be appreciated. Of course, nothing is 100% perfect, but whenever support or maintenance was needed, the team was always available and committed to resolving any issues promptly.
