A magical resort on the Red Sea

13th July 2026 By David Pike

Families looking to book an extra special getaway should take a look at Somabay where there’s a menu of endless fun and adventure.

Offering year-round sunshine against the backdrop of the Red Sea, Somabay is the dream destination for a memorable family escape.

Explore Egypt’s colourful underwater world with a spot of snorkelling, take a sunset boat trip with Happy Turtle, or check out long-forgotten shipwrecks with a scuba experience.

For those who prefer to stay on land, Somabay, nestled within 10 million square meters of verdant landscapes, has plenty of activities for all ages.

The resort location is home to a Gary Player championship golf course, the Holistic Spa & Thalasso centre, and a kitesurfing centre.

Home to six hotels and a range of self-catering accommodation through Stayr, Somabay offers some of the best sandy beaches in the Red Sea as well as panoramic views of the surrounding desert Mountains.

Conveniently located near Luxor, Somabay also serves as a gateway to discover Egypt’s unparalleled culture and history, allowing visitors to combine a beachfront escape with unforgettable cultural discoveries.

It all adds up to making Somabay an ideal choice for relaxation and recreation.

Direct flights are available from from London to Hurghada airport – a 20-minute drive away from the resort.
