The Movenpick Resort occupies the northern end of Elephantine Island, right in the middle of the Nile at Aswan. Guests reach it by the hotel’s own free ferry from the Corniche, a short crossing that sets the tone for a relaxed island stay away from the traffic of town.
With about 400 rooms, suites and villas, the resort is large, but it is spread across gardens so it rarely feels crowded. Rooms are bright and modern, and Nile-view categories look out over the river, the felucca sails and the tombs and dunes of the West Bank.
The resort’s landmark is its tower, topped by the Panorama restaurant and bar, which offers a 360-degree view of the city and river from the highest point in Aswan. Other dining includes an international buffet and casual options by the pool. There are two pools, a children’s pool, a spa and a gym.
From the island you can wander to the ancient ruins and Nubian villages of Elephantine, and the ferry runs regularly to the souq and the Corniche. Some guests find restaurant prices high. It suits families, couples and travellers who want a calm, scenic resort base with easy access to the city.
