The Oberoi Beach Resort Sahl Hasheesh

The Oberoi in Sahl Hasheesh is a refined, all-suite beach resort on the quiet bay south of Hurghada. Built in a low-rise Moorish style of domes, arches and courtyards, it feels more like a private village than a large hotel, and it is often rated among the best resorts on Egypt’s Red Sea coast.

Accommodation is entirely in suites, each with a separate sitting area, a sunken marble bath and a private terrace or courtyard; many have sea views and some have their own heated pools. Interiors are understated and calm, in sand and cream tones.

The resort has a private beach with a long jetty that reaches over the shallow reef, which helps with entry into the sea, since the shoreline itself is rocky in places. There is a pool, a spa offering Indian and Asian treatments, a gym, and three restaurants serving Mediterranean, Asian and international dishes. Food and drink are expensive if you are not on a package, but service is consistently described as exceptional.

Hurghada airport is about 30 minutes away. It suits couples, honeymooners and travellers seeking privacy and personal service, and it pairs naturally with an Oberoi Nile cruise.
