Cristiano Ronaldo surprised Georgina Rodriguez this Christmas with an extravagant gift: two luxury villas located on a private island in the Red Sea, Saudi Arabia. The purchase enhances their property portfolio as the couple continues to establish their life in the region since Ronaldo’s move to Al Nassr in 2022.
Exclusive Villas on Ummahat Island
According to a report from HOLA!, the couple now owns two villas within Nujuma, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve Residence. This exclusive development is part of the Red Sea Residences, situated on Ummahat Island, approximately 26 kilometres from the mainland and accessible only by seaplane or private boat. Each villa showcases contemporary designs that incorporate Arabic architectural elements, offering stunning ocean views, private pools, and telescopes for stargazing.
The first villa features three bedrooms, while the second has two, both providing direct access to the sea and ensuring complete privacy. Ronaldo described the Red Sea as “a truly extraordinary place” where he and Georgina “feel at peace.” He added that these villas would allow them to spend “quality time with family” away from their high-profile lives.
A Luxurious Retreat and Family Life
The villas are designed by the renowned architecture firm Foster and Partners, founded by Norman Foster. Their design utilizes natural materials and features curved structures inspired by seashells. The area is rich in marine life, surrounded by coral reefs and home to dolphins, sea turtles, and stingrays, further enhancing the appeal of their new retreat.
This Christmas gift marks a significant moment in Ronaldo and Rodriguez’s relationship as they prepare for their upcoming wedding after a decade together. Together, they have five children: Cristiano Jr., twins Eva and Mateo, Alana Martina, and Bella Esmeralda. Despite their luxurious lifestyle, Rodriguez emphasizes the importance of humility in their children’s upbringing. In an interview with Elle Spain, she stated, “We teach them to be fighters and, above all, good people.”
The couple plans to marry after the 2026 World Cup, with the ceremony reportedly set to take place in Ronaldo’s hometown of Madeira. Until then, their new villas in the Red Sea serve as a symbol of their love and commitment, representing a luxurious retreat that only Ronaldo could provide.
