Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve: Vimar technology for eco-chic luxury
“The seventh jewel in the Ritz-Carlton Reserve collection and the brand’s first resort in Saudi Arabia, Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve embodies a fresh vision of eco-chic luxury. It is nestled in an unspoilt corner of the Red Sea, among the natural islands north of Umluj, in a heavenly landscape accessible only by boat or seaplane, perfectly blending elegance and sustainability.”
Project description
A zero-impact resort
Designed by the renowned firm Foster and Partners, the architectural concept draws inspiration from the shapes of seashells, using natural materials in soft hues that echo the colours of the sea and sand. The 65 villas, shell-like in shape, emerge from the Ummahat archipelago: some are set directly on the beach, while others are suspended over the water on stilts, linked by loop-shaped walkways, ensuring direct, private access to the sea. Conceived as a zero-impact resort, Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve was constructed using wood and rope, chosen not only for their sustainable nature but also for their ability to minimise waste and noise. These materials, pre-fabricated elsewhere and assembled on-site, allow for environmentally respectful construction. However, the resort’s true exceptional feature lies in its reversibility: it has been engineered to be completely dismantled without leaving a trace or causing damage to the ecosystem.
The art of managing energy with elegance
Within this exclusive setting, Vimar’s Eikon series was selected to meet the demands for sophistication and elegance. Specifically, the two souls of Eikon, Evo and Exé, give each environment a unique personality for superlative energy management. The design of Eikon Evo, chosen in the brushed dark bronze finish in keeping with the warm tones of the sand, is perfectly in step with current interior design trends and highlights the best of Italian style: shapes crafted to make an impression, dimensions that stand out subtly on the walls, and unprecedented combinations within a sleek, custom-made black frame, matching the controls. And to evoke the purity of the sea, the Eikon Exé series was indispensable, featuring a white total look finish. A cover plate with squared and striking silhouettes, providing the perfect combination of precision technology and impeccable craftsmanship, available in a variety of materials and prized finishes.
