Carolyn Turnbull Steers Nammos Hotels & Resorts into Global Luxury Spotlight with New Flagships in Mykonos, AMAALA, Maldives, and Abu Dhabi
Nammos Hotels & Resorts, a globally revered name in upscale hospitality, is entering a transformative new chapter under the leadership of its newly appointed CEO, Carolyn Turnbull. As the brand expands its international presence, a new collection of ultra-luxury beachfront resorts is set to open across Mykonos (Greece), AMAALA (Saudi Arabia), the Maldives, and Abu Dhabi (UAE)—all blending signature Nammos style with immersive cultural experiences.
Turnbull, a seasoned hospitality executive with over two decades of international leadership experience, is redefining what modern luxury means by prioritizing sustainability, cultural authenticity, and personalized service.
From Beach Club Origins to Global Hospitality Icon
Originally famed for its high-energy beach club on Mykonos’ pristine Psarou Beach, Nammos has grown into a full-fledged luxury hospitality brand that combines seaside glamour with world-class accommodations. With Turnbull now at the helm, Nammos is moving beyond its origins to curate lifestyle-driven resort experiences that resonate with modern, discerning travelers.
Each destination under the Nammos banner is being thoughtfully curated to offer more than five-star opulence. The brand’s future lies in crafting spaces that foster emotional connection—where art, wellness, gastronomy, and culture intersect.
Nammos Hotel Mykonos: The Brand’s Flagship Retreat
The recently launched Nammos Hotel Mykonos serves as the brand’s benchmark for what’s to come. Located directly on the island’s famous Psarou Beach, the boutique resort features just 26 rooms and suites, alongside three ultra-private villas.
The design is a seamless fusion of Cycladic tradition and contemporary elegance. Whitewashed exteriors, artisan-crafted interiors, and lush beachfront landscaping come together to create an environment of understated luxury. Guests enjoy exclusive access to the celebrated Nammos Restaurant, renowned for its Mediterranean cuisine and lively ambience that draws celebrities and tastemakers from around the globe.
With a second season now underway, Nammos Hotel Mykonos continues to set new standards in beachside hospitality—offering a taste of the brand’s elevated global vision.
AMAALA: Nammos Embraces Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Luxury Vision
In Saudi Arabia, Nammos Hotels & Resorts is preparing for the highly anticipated debut of Nammos Resort AMAALA, scheduled to open later this year. Situated within Red Sea Global’s $5 billion AMAALA project—one of the world’s most ambitious wellness and eco-tourism initiatives—this resort will be a landmark moment for both the brand and the Kingdom’s tourism sector.
The AMAALA resort will combine signature Nammos aesthetics with the Red Sea coast’s untouched natural beauty. Guests can expect beachside luxury that’s deeply connected to Arabian culture, supported by Red Sea Global’s sustainability framework, which mandates zero-carbon emissions and environmental stewardship.
Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 sees tourism as a key economic pillar, and Nammos’ entry into AMAALA signals growing international confidence in the Kingdom’s luxury travel future. The project is backed by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and aims to welcome over one million visitors annually by the end of the decade.
Nammos Maldives: A Tropical Private Paradise
The next jewel in Nammos’ portfolio is its planned resort in the Maldives, promising barefoot luxury on a secluded Indian Ocean island. The Maldives—known for its turquoise lagoons and coral-ringed atolls—will host a Nammos resort that emphasizes wellness, slow living, and exclusivity.
While exact details remain under wraps, the resort will feature overwater villas, holistic spa treatments, and gourmet dining curated with a Mediterranean touch. The Maldives resort is expected to appeal to honeymooners, celebrities, and luxury travelers in search of total privacy and personal enrichment.
Nammos Abu Dhabi: Arabian Sophistication Meets Modern Lifestyle
Further expanding in the Gulf, Nammos Resort Abu Dhabi is expected to deliver Arabian elegance with a modern twist. Located in the UAE’s capital—a city known for its fusion of tradition and innovation—this resort will capture the spirit of Emirati luxury through curated cultural programs, elevated beach experiences, and immersive wellness retreats.
Abu Dhabi’s increasing investment in hospitality and lifestyle tourism, particularly with projects like Saadiyat Island and Yas Bay, makes it a prime location for Nammos’ experiential resort concept.
Carolyn Turnbull: A Visionary Leader for a New Luxury Era
At the center of Nammos’ ambitious expansion is CEO Carolyn Turnbull, who brings experience from roles at Tourism Western Australia and luxury hospitality brands across Asia-Pacific and Europe.
Turnbull’s leadership philosophy centers on experiential luxury—where travel transcends accommodation to become deeply personal, sustainable, and transformative. Under her guidance, Nammos Hotels & Resorts aims to be more than a collection of beachside hotels—it seeks to become a globally respected lifestyle brand with heart, heritage, and high design.
Sustainable Design and Cultural Immersion
Each resort in the expanding Nammos portfolio is being developed with strong commitments to environmental stewardship and community engagement. This includes sustainable building practices, water conservation, reduced energy use, and partnerships with local artisans and producers.
Guests can expect immersive experiences that go beyond aesthetics: curated art installations, indigenous wellness therapies, and menus that highlight regional flavors and ingredients.
Looking Ahead: A Global Name for Ultra-Luxury Travel
With developments in Greece, Saudi Arabia, the Maldives, and the UAE, Nammos Hotels & Resorts is poised to become one of the most talked-about luxury brands of the next decade. Its formula—boutique exclusivity, cultural depth, and lifestyle curation—positions it uniquely among the world’s top hospitality innovators.
As Carolyn Turnbull continues to roll out new destinations, each one promises more than just a stay—it offers a story, a sensorial journey, and a connection to place. For luxury travelers seeking the extraordinary, Nammos is emerging as a destination in its own right.
