The homes are part of the Red Sea Residences, which are located on private islands about 26 kilometers from the mainland. Only boats or seaplanes can reach these islands, providing a high level of privacy and exclusivity.
Nujuma includes 19 fully independent luxury villas designed to provide privacy, comfort, and a close connection to nature. Trending: Cold weather hits Saudi Arabia
