Our Selection Criteria
Ratings and standards
We have focused on five-star properties with consistently strong guest reviews — typically around 9/10 or above — and a sustained record of service quality. The Oberoi Beach Resort, Kempinski Soma Bay and Steigenberger ALDAU Beach, for instance, sit at around 9.2–9.5 in current guest ratings, which reflects both the calibre and the delivery you can expect at this level.
What sets each property apart
We look for clear distinguishing features: all-suite arrangements, villas with private pools, thalassotherapy facilities, first-rate dive centres, and premium all-inclusive with a genuine à la carte offering. These are the details that make a real difference in practice, and they set a high bar for inclusion on our list.
Location and surroundings
Beachfront settings in Sahl Hasheesh and Soma Bay carry considerable weight, as does proximity to Hurghada's airport and marina. We also assess seclusion, swimming and snorkelling conditions, and ease of access to excursions — from the Giftun Islands to desert safaris.
