Steigenberger Golf Resort El Gouna

Steigenberger Golf Resort sits in the heart of El Gouna, the car-light lagoon town north of Hurghada, wrapped around the town’s 18-hole championship golf course. Its design follows El Gouna’s signature style, with ochre walls, domes and arches set among palms and saltwater lagoons.

Rooms and suites are spread across low buildings overlooking the fairways, the pools or the lagoons. They are comfortable and practical, with balconies or terraces, and families can choose connecting or larger rooms.

There are two main pools and a children’s pool, a spa and a gym. The hotel’s beach is on a calm lagoon rather than the open sea, which is ideal for young children but less so for snorkelling; guests can use shuttle boats and buses to reach El Gouna’s sea beaches. Dining covers an international buffet and a la carte restaurants, with more choice in Abu Tig Marina and the downtown area a few minutes away.

The golf course is the main draw, and the resort is popular with players in the cooler months. El Gouna itself offers kitesurfing, diving and lively bars. Hurghada airport is about 25 minutes away. It suits golfers, families and travellers who want a relaxed, walkable resort town rather than a single isolated hotel.
