Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve
What the classifiers highlight
The first Ritz-Carlton Reserve in the Middle East opened in May 2024 on the Ummahat Islands, reachable only by seaplane or boat, its 65 shell-shaped villas designed by Foster + Partners with a telescope in each for stargazing. MICHELIN and Forbes both note 20 overwater villas, four restaurants blending Arabian and French cooking, and mangrove planting guests can join.
