Areas drawn from our hotels' addresses — updated as the selection changes.
Sahl Hasheesh
Best for Luxury beach holidaysLocated 20 kilometres south of Hurghada, this gated resort enclave is known for its sandy bay and paved promenade. It offers a quieter, more upscale atmosphere than the central town.
Makadi Bay
Best for Families and diversSituated further south, this tranquil bay is renowned for its coral reefs and self-contained resort complexes. It is a popular base for snorkelling and watersports away from the city centre.
Hurghada Promenade & North
Best for Shopping and diningThis coastal corridor includes the lively Al Mamsha promenade and the northern district of Al Ahyaa. It provides convenient access to local shops, restaurants, and central attractions.
Areas to consider
Visitors seeking a peaceful retreat may want to avoid central resort strips close to the airport, where noise levels and local traffic are considerably higher.

How we chose these hotels
At our latest review (August 2026) the properties listed above were measured against the same standard: sustained guest scores on both Booking.com and Google — weighted by how many reviews sit behind them — five-star class or an equivalent premium level, a genuinely first-rate location, and facilities that set the hotel apart.
As a guideline we look for around 8.5 or higher on Booking.com, but no single number decides on its own — when the sources disagree, the broader evidence wins. Guest scores on this page update continuously, and the selection is re-reviewed at regular intervals. The full standard is described in how we choose hotels.
