In 2026, travellers can plan a full year of meaningful escapes at The St. Regis Red Sea Resort and Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. From winter wellness and spring marine encounters to summer dining and winter celebrations, each month offers a reason to visit. The resorts combine island landscapes, local culture, and careful service across every season.
Set among protected islands on the Red Sea, both resorts focus on natural surroundings, modern design, and marine life. In 2026, they continue to shape a quieter, more considered form of luxury travel in Saudi Arabia.
