Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez ended the year 2025 with another high-profile real estate acquisition. The couple became owners of two houses on a private island in Saudi Arabia, part of one of the most ambitious and exclusive tourist projects currently being developed in the country.
The information was made public through social media and quickly gained international attention. According to Notícias ao Minuto, the couple went from simple guests to owners in the Nujuma archipelago, a luxury destination included in the VisitRedSea project, promoted by Red Sea Global.
The publication that confirmed the news came from John Pagano, executive director of the group responsible for the project, who summarized the couple’s change in status in a direct sentence: from occasional visitors they became owners of two homes on one of the most exclusive islands in the Red Sea.
A luxury project designed for a few
The development where Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina decided to invest is part of Nujuma, the Ritz-Carlton Reserve, one of the most emblematic bets in the Saudi plan for sustainable luxury tourism. According to Notícias ao Minuto, this is a concept that combines exclusivity, privacy and a strong commitment to high-level experiences, far from mass tourism.
Access to Nujuma is only by boat or seaplane, a detail that reinforces the reserved character of the place. The islands were designed to receive a limited number of visitors, guaranteeing tranquility and discretion for residents and guests.
What’s Nujuma, the Ritz-Carlton Reserve, like?
Nujuma is part of The Ritz-Carlton international chain, recognized worldwide for the premium segment. According to the official description of the space, cited by Notícias ao Minuto, the resort offers five-star accommodation on the beachfront, with direct access to the sea and panoramic views of the Red Sea.
Among the available amenities are a fitness center, private beach area, fine-dining restaurant, room service, concierge, free Wi-Fi throughout the property, indoor and outdoor pools, evening entertainment and a kids’ club. The concept was designed to respond to a public that seeks absolute comfort, but also isolation and security.
Values that confirm exclusivity
The prices charged help to understand the positioning of the enterprise. According to information collected from international booking platforms, a night at the resort can vary between around 2,900 and 3,700 euros, depending on the season and the type of accommodation chosen.
These are values that place Nujuma at a level reserved for a very restricted elite, a context in which the couple’s acquisition of two houses appears as a natural step, taking into account their lifestyle and prolonged presence in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia continues to attract high-profile investment
The choice is not isolated. Since Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Saudi football, the country has established itself as a residence and investment destination for international sports and entertainment figures. According to the same source, projects like VisitRedSea are part of a broader strategy to position Saudi Arabia as a global reference in luxury tourism.
Although the couple did not reveal details about the future use of the properties, the acquisition reinforces Cristiano Ronaldo’s growing connection to the country, not only professionally, but also personally and financially.
The new home on a private island adds to the couple’s already extensive list of properties, confirming a clear trend: luxury, exclusivity and carefully chosen destinations continue to mark the residential options of one of the most famous figures in the world.
