6 Stunning Soma Bay Stays

Soma Bay has long been a weekend getaway of choice for Egyptians, with crowds migrating in droves each Friday afternoon to seek out the sun and sand. A popular playground for A-list celebs and beachgoers, this coastal resort on the Red Sea is a hot spot for summer fun. Even if you don’t arrive via plane to Hurghada and choose to stay in an adorable Airbnb instead of an ornate mansion, you’ll still enjoy a long weekend here.


Kempinski Hotel Soma Bay - $205

Did you know that this Kempinski happens to be the first one to ever exist in Egypt? Tranquillity is yours as far as the eyes can see — from the landscaped pools, to its waterfalls and panoramic waters.

Boasting a 500-metre breathtaking coastline of glimmering sandy shores and clear turquoise waters, the five-star accommodation is the ultimate beach lover’s paradise. Whether it’s relaxing with a cocktail while watching an Instagrammable sunset or seeking the thrills of water sports, Robinson brings to life any stay you can ever dream of.


The Cascades Golf Resort, SPA & Thalasso - $73

As its name suggests, The Cascades nabs its spot on the list because it is home to one of the largest spas and thalassotherapy centres in the entire region, making it an automatic win to anyone looking for some well-needed R&R.


The Breakers Diving & Surfing Lodge - $76

If you’re a diving kinda boy, surfing kinda gal, or sailing kinda pal, The Breakers is the place to go.
