About the Resort
Detached all-suite villas on the Red Sea
The Oberoi Beach Resort, Sahl Hasheesh is the most refined finish to an Egypt tour — an all-suite Red Sea resort of 102 detached, villa-style suites on a private white-sand beach, across 48 acres of gardens in domed, lantern-lit architecture. Privacy is the idea: every suite has a high domed ceiling, a marble bathroom with a sunken bath, and its own walled garden, and the higher tiers add a private pool, with floor-to-ceiling Red Sea views. A 43-metre main pool faces the sea, and the diving off the beach is world-class, PADI courses from beginner to advanced on the Red Sea coral reefs. Dining runs to a main restaurant with panoramic sea views, modern Indian cooking and al fresco light lunches, with the Oberoi Spa and its Balinese and Thai treatments. Beyond the resort there is pottery, cooking and stargazing, and desert excursions to a Bedouin camp by quad bike or camel. Around 25 minutes from Hurghada airport, it suits couples, honeymooners and divers, with a kids' club for families.

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting The Oberoi Beach Resort, Sahl Hasheesh. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Egypt
Kempinski Hotel Soma Bay
The Kempinski Soma Bay is the active Red Sea resort — a large Moorish-style property on the Soma Bay peninsula with a huge lagoon-pool complex, a lazy river and 400 metres of private beach. Its draw is the water: the Orca dive centre, one of the Red Sea's largest, sits on a roughly 1-km house reef, and Soma Bay's steady breezes make it world-class for windsurfing and kitesurfing. A Gary Player championship course — the Middle East's first — runs across the peninsula, the destination Cascades Spa & Thalasso Centre is among the region's largest, and tennis, squash, catamaran and SUP fill the rest, with Luxor and the Nile Valley a couple of hours' drive away.
Egypt
Steigenberger Alcazar, Sharm El Sheikh
The Steigenberger Alcazar is a large all-inclusive family beach resort at Nabq Bay, Sharm El Sheikh — built for families, with 584 rooms across Superior Rooms, Deluxe Family Rooms, villas and swim-up rooms with private pool access. Its 35,000-square-metre private beach has its own underwater scenery, and it sits near Ras Mohammed National Park for world-class Sinai diving. Kids' clubs, animation and kids' pools, three pools (heated in winter), the Mivida Spa and evening entertainment fill the days, and direct UK and EU charters land just 15 minutes away. A straightforward, all-inclusive family base on the Red Sea, with the Sinai's diving on the doorstep.
Egypt
Old Cataract Aswan
The Old Cataract is the most storied hotel in Upper Egypt — an 1899 Victorian Nile-cliff palace on a pink-granite ledge above the river at Aswan, opposite Elephantine Island. It is where Agatha Christie wrote Death on the Nile, and the terrace where she worked still serves sunset cocktails over the water, while a golden-book guest list runs from Churchill to royalty. Around 138 rooms and suites across the historic Palace and the Nile Wing carry handmade furniture and high painted ceilings, the 1902 restaurant handles French fine dining, and Aswan's ancient sites — Philae, the Unfinished Obelisk, the Nubian Museum — plus felucca sailing and Abu Simbel day-trips are all within reach.
