At Movenpick Resort and Spa the beach will draw you like a magnet. As you arrive and head to your beautifully appointed room, all thoughts of unpacking and perhaps getting organised, will be chased from your mind by the view. You will be drawn instead to the hotel’s private beachfront to enjoy warm sands, the beauty and vibrancy of the Red Sea and the privacy of being in an exclusive area accessible only to hotel guests. You may then dip your toes into crystal clear waters that have stunning corals and an abundance of life. The hotel’s programme of water sports enables you to explore beneath the waves as you dive or snorkel, or keep your head above water with sailing, paddle boarding, kite surfing and more. On wandering back to the hotel, you might then notice all those things you hurried past. The three luxurious pools, the modern spa and sport facilities and the dining options with everything from beachfront cuisine to a dedicated ‘chocolate hour’. Luckily there is a gym on hand to work that one off. Nearby is the town of El Gouna, where fascinating architecture plays home to bustling streets perfect for exploration - and bargain hunting. Further afield are excursions to some of Egypt’s most famous landmarks. However the day is spent, it tends to close on and around that magical stretch of private beach - whether enjoying a final dip for the day, or simply watching the sun set below the waters of the Red Sea.
