Located on a one-kilometre (3,300 foot) stretch of private palm-lined beachfront, Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt invites sunseekers to sleek and spacious suites, sunlit pools, ancient-Egyptian inspired Spa rituals and an expanded dive centre complementing the Arabesque architecture and lush gardens.
The welcoming team of cultured local insiders will connect travellers with the best of this enriching Red Sea beach destination, whether it's underwater, above water, or exploring the extraordinary landscapes that make this sea-meets-desert destination a perennial summer favourite.
With 76 dive sites within a day's boat ride of the Resort and two spectacular house reefs onsite, divers and snorkelers can immerse themselves in an unspoilt underwater museum. For those who prefer to remain above the surface, a private yacht charter is the perfect way to cruise the coastline and see the extraordinary landscapes where the desert meets the sea. Guests can also kayak, parasail and stand-up paddle, or call on Chief Concierge and destination expert, Ahmed Nazmy, to suggest the best ways to get to know Sharm El Sheikh on land or sea.
The Resort's five swimming pools are the perfect places for lounging while the bright smiles of the pool attendants pass frequently with complimentary refreshments. Families should head to the irresistible waters of the palm-fringed Waha Pool. Luna infinity pool, with majestic views out to Tiran Island and beyond, is perfect for those who want to soak up the rays – and perhaps a Latin American-inspired cocktail or two.
Or dive into nature's greatest pool, the Red Sea just offshore, and spend a relaxing time embraced by the shade of palm trees and glittering water views.
With twelve restaurants and bars to choose from, Director of Food & Beverage, Simone Cerea, and his team have redefined dining in Sharm El Sheikh. The sun-dappled culinary scene presents a cuisine inspired by coastal elements on the menu offering a selection of summery dishes and cocktails that burst with flavour, taking guests on a journey from Japan to Latin America, via the Middle East.
The Resort's creative culinary team is also on hand to arrange private passionately-crafted dining experiences in breath-taking venues, from a Bedouin breakfast on the beach to a candlelit dinner beneath the palms, a sunset cocktail on board a private yacht, or a romantic set-up over the water in a private garden.
Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh's recent expansion has created even more accommodation options this summer for friends and families travelling to the Red Sea together, as well as elevated stays for couples, many of which come with their own private pools. Whether visiting with kids and grandparents, here on a romantic retreat, on a girls' getaway or simply travelling solo, there's something for everyone.
