Egypt presents itself to tourists and travelers as a land of endless sun and scorching heat. To avoid discomfort from the heat, I recommend choosing a hotel where lush greenery surrounds you, a splendid landscaped pool sprawls before you, the beach is conveniently nearby, and the rooms are equipped with modern air conditioning. In my top 8 hotels for maximum comfort, you will find such unique hotels where every detail is carefully crafted for your unforgettable stay.
Let's start with the popular resort of Sharm El Sheikh.
Regency Plaza Aqua Park & SPA 5*
This hotel boasts a beautiful, green, well-maintained area, a private sandy beach with a coral reef and a pontoon. It is located in Nabq Bay and features its own water park and three outdoor pools, one of which is heated.
Naama Bay Hotel 5*
An ideal hotel for a fun, youthful vacation as it is located next to the liveliest place in the resort - Naama Bay promenade. The hotel has its own sandy beach just 200 meters away. There are plenty of sports activities and three outdoor pools, two of which are heated.
Naama Waves 5*
Another hotel perfect for a fun vacation with friends. It has a beautiful green area, and the beach is 650 meters away with a scheduled shuttle service throughout the day. The only drawback is the absence of a reef on the beach, but the sandy and shallow entry into the sea compensates for it. The proximity to Naama Bay promenade is undoubtedly a big plus for those seeking entertainment.
The next three hotels are located in Hurghada and offer several undeniable advantages.
Sunny Days Resort Spa & Aqua Park 4*
An excellent choice for families with children. The hotel has a spacious palm-lined area and a private sandy beach with coral islets. There is also a water park on the premises. Guests can also use the water slides at the neighboring Sunny Days Mirette Resort & Aqua Park, greatly expanding entertainment options.
Bellagio Resort 4*
Another excellent family hotel located on the first line of the beach. The hotel features a shallow entry into the sea, though there are no corals nearby, so you'll need to go for diving, which is readily available. However, there are plenty of amenities for kids, including water parks, heated children's pools, a kids' club, and a children's menu. Adults can enjoy the 18+ Chill Out relaxation zone.
Albatros Citadel Sahl Hasheesh Resort 5*
A true legend, not just a hotel. This luxurious hotel boasts a unique in-house coral reef. Guests can enjoy a variety of restaurants and bars, a kids' club, outdoor pools, and a spa center. It's perfect for couples or families.
Finally, two premium segment hotels for those who don't want to compromise on luxury during their vacation.
Rixos Sharm El Sheikh (Adult Only 18+) 5*
Located in Sharm El Sheikh, on the sandy beach of Nabq Bay, this hotel is exclusively for guests aged 18 and above. It offers a wide range of restaurants and bars. The hotel consists of a main two-story building with no rooms and 17 two-story buildings. There's a private beach with a pontoon and a house reef. Rixos hotels are known for their high standards of service.
Baron Palace Resort Sahl Hasheesh 5*
This luxurious hotel is located in the heart of Sahl Hasheesh Bay, 18 km from Hurghada Airport. The hotel boasts a vast 100,000 sq. m. territory for guests to explore. Sahl Hasheesh Bay is known for its beautiful coral reef, and the hotel has its own sandy beach. With an abundance of restaurants serving various cuisines from around the world, cascading and infinity pools, water slides, and luxurious rooms, it's an ideal destination for discerning guests.
And if you get tired of all-inclusive vacations and decide to visit the Pyramids, here's a great video on how I traveled from Sharm El Sheikh to Cairo to see the Pyramids on my own.
