Our Selection Criteria
Ratings and standards
We prioritised properties with a demonstrable five-star pedigree and consistently high guest scores of around 9.0 or above on leading booking platforms. We also took into account quality accreditations, the brand's international track record, and the breadth of room categories — from premium rooms through to expansive suites and private villas.
Distinctive features
Hotels offering signature attributes such as private beaches with direct reef access, exclusive lounges, butler service, villas with private pools, ambitious à la carte programmes or premium all-inclusive concepts were given priority. Additional merit was awarded for heated pools in winter, well-regarded spas and a considered family or adults-only proposition.
Location and access
We balanced settings between vibrancy and tranquillity: from Naama Bay's proximity to the promenade and evening entertainment, to Sharks Bay, Ras Nasrani and Nabq Bay with their longer stretches of beach and house reefs. Ease of transfer from the airport, sheltered bays and clearly defined private beach sections were all taken into account.
