Nestled amidst the unspoiled natural beauty of this luxury regenerative tourism destination, Nujuma sets a new standard for wellness and holistic luxury, inviting guests to embark on a transformative journey of rejuvenation and self-discovery.

At the heart of Nujuma lies Neyrah Spa, a tranquil sanctuary dedicated to nourishing the body and soul. Guests are invited to indulge in a range of wellness rituals and holistic experiences inspired by global traditions, including meditation, lunar yoga, and sound healing therapy.

In addition to Neyrah Spa, Nujuma offers a range of curated experiences designed to deepen guests’ connection with the destination. From hands-on activities at The Conservation House led by resident sustainability and environmental experts to culinary experiences honoring the generations of Umluj anglers, Nujuma provides opportunities for guests of all ages to immerse themselves in the rich cultural and natural heritage of The Red Sea.
