Overview
- Red Sea Global chief executive John Pagano officially welcomed Ronaldo, Rodríguez, and their children as new residents of the Reserve.
- Local reporting states the pair purchased two private villas, one with three bedrooms for family stays and another with two bedrooms for quieter getaways.
- Ronaldo said the island offers peace and privacy, noting a deep connection formed during earlier visits that led to the decision to buy.
- The island sits about 26 kilometers offshore with access only by boat or seaplane, and the Reserve comprises just 19 standalone villas.
- The broader Red Sea project promotes regenerative tourism, with the destination’s airport aiming for a 30% net ecosystem benefit by 2040; some coverage frames the purchase as supporting Ronaldo’s training and recovery ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
