Saudi-based football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has unexpectedly taken the digital world by storm with the launch of his official YouTube channel last night.
Across a number of videos, the internationally renowned Al-Nassr player, answers questions about how he handles the pressures of the pitch, his favourite sports and how he over comes adversity. Also in the first number of videos on his YouTube channel, the football star introduces viewers to his wife, Georgina, and his oldest son, Cristiano Jr.
But, his new channel also showcases the beauty of life in Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo on the Red Sea
Some of the content published on the football superstar's new digital channel, shares glimpses of his life in the Kingdom.
It is no secret that Cristiano Ronaldo and his family love to spend time vacationing around the world, but somewhere they have visited numerous times is the Red Sea region.
From Instagram, we have learned that the family have chosen to stay at the St. Regis Red Sea Resort on Ummahat Island several times and the footballer references this on his new YouTube channel.
Officially opening its doors in January 2024, the St. Regis Red Sea Resort is perfectly perched on the edges of the crystal clear waters of the Red Sea, and within reach of the astonishing Blue Hole Atoll. The resort is home to a selection of coveted over-water bungalows, sprawling beachside mansions and unrivalled dining experiences. With just 90 exclusive and private villas in resort, privacy and indulgence are top priorities.
In one main video and one YouTube 'short', Ronaldo showcases the beauty of the Kingdom's new Red Sea destination, stating that it is a location in Saudi that he recommends "the whole world visiting that (sic.) amazing, amazing place". The video, in collaboration with the Red Sea, shows the incredible natural landscapes of the region, the luxury hospitality with accommodations and scenery that rivals that of Bora Bora.

We hope that Cristiano's new YouTube channel continues to highlight the Kingdom's rich culture, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality.
He ends the video with an impactful statement, "Red Sea, make it happen!".
