Private Island Resorts

Operator: St. Regis (Marriott)

An island day with the whole family

In January 2024 The St. Regis Red Sea Resort became the first resort on a private island in The Red Sea. You stay in a villa over the water or on the beach, always with your own pool, while the children make new friends at the Little Treasures Kids Club and you kayak through the mangroves. In the evening, dinner can be set on the jetty, with soft surf and lantern light.

Where the stars set the evening

Nujuma comes from "Nujum", the Arabic word for stars, and that is what this place is about. Each of the 63 villas on the Ummahat Islands has its own pool and a telescope on the terrace, and since August 2026 Nujuma has been one of the first two DarkSky Approved resorts in the world. At the Maia bar, experts tell you what you are looking at in the sky.

Living in a mirror of sky and sea

About 25 kilometres off the coast, on Sheybarah, sky, water and light are reflected in 73 villas of polished stainless steel, 38 of them over the lagoon. Even the walk along the jetty is a moment you want to keep. A few metres from the beach the house reef drops to as much as 40 metres, and you snorkel straight from the shore.
