Cristiano Ronaldo Buys Luxury Villas at Saudi Red Sea Resort

Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodríguez have acquired two luxury villas at Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve within Red Sea International, marking them among the earliest owners at the exclusive resort. Located on private islands approximately 26 kilometers from the mainland and accessible only by boat or seaplane, the Red Sea Residences offer unparalleled privacy and natural beauty.

Nujuma features 19 fully independent villas designed to provide both seclusion and close contact with nature. Ronaldo expressed his admiration for the destination, saying, “From our very first visit, Georgina and I felt a deep connection with this island and its breathtaking natural beauty. It’s a place where we find peace and tranquility.” The couple purchased a three-bedroom villa for family use and a two-bedroom villa for additional accommodation, ensuring complete privacy whenever they visit.

John Pagano, CEO of Red Sea International, welcomed the couple to the community, highlighting the resort’s combination of luxury, adventure, and environmental responsibility. The destination aims for a net positive environmental impact of 30% by 2040, with initiatives supporting coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass beds, and native habitats. All resorts, including residential facilities, are powered entirely by renewable energy.

The Red Sea destination currently features nine luxury hotels, with Shura Island set to open the first of 11 planned resorts, alongside a championship golf course, dining, retail, and cultural facilities. Red Sea International Airport provides direct connections to Riyadh, Jeddah, Dubai, Doha, and Milan, placing the development within three hours of 250 million people and eight hours of 85% of the global population.

As part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, the Red Sea project continues to attract high-profile visitors and investors seeking exclusive, sustainable living experiences, with Ronaldo and Rodríguez joining a growing community of early adopters.
