El Gouna – The Complete Resort on the Red Sea

El Gouna is more than simply a stunning resort – It’s a self-contained town on the beautiful Red Sea coast boasting a superb infrastructure and excellent services.  El Gouna’s sandy beaches and ideal temperatures make it a genuine “year round” destination.  This unique man-made resort is just a short transfer time from Hurghada Airport on the Red Sea Coast…

Careful planning, superb architecture, and competent management by the developers (think a neater version of Canary Wharf but with  permanent sunshine and a focus on leisure and lifestyle rather than business) have ensured that El Gouna’s many attractions are contained in a beautiful, immaculate and aesthetically unified setting.  The resort’s award-winning architecture brings together a blend of traditional and modern elements.  Aside from tourists and visitors, a creative and diverse community of entrepreneurs, artists, environmentalists, and sports enthusiasts have made El Gouna their home and give the town an eclectic and sophisticated international flavour.

El Gouna has lots to offer the resident and visitor alike.  An 18-hole championship golf course, designed by Gene Bates and Fred Couples, provides year-round golfing in an incredible setting. Every level of golfer can play the course, from the beginner looking to try out the game for the first time to the advanced golfer playing the tournament circuit. The course has three different men’s and ladies’ tees, carefully placed bunkers, lagoons, and desert rough, and the clubhouse offers a full range of rental equipment and driving range facilities as well as PGA tuition.

If you want to rejuvenate your body, mind and spirit, then choose one of El Gouna’s spas, where treatments from all over the world are available to nurture your inner and outer self.   Angsana Spa, one of the world’s top names in professional spa management, runs the Spa at Tropical Sky’s recommended Mövenpick Resort & Spa hotel.  Or wile away the hours at El Gouna’s two marinas in a specifically designed harbour town that has quickly become a favourite docking place for pleasure craft plying the Red Sea.

As with any Red Sea resort, the diving is fantastic.  The town itself offers a wide range of activities restaurants and nightlife set in a relaxed and laid back atmosphere, so it’s a good choice for those travelling with families or partners not interested in diving – while you’re off having fun, they have something to do as well!  El Gouna is excellent for single female travellers, beginner courses, wreck divers and /or technical divers. For new divers, the heated pools and calm local reefs provide a safe environment to start to your diving experience. For more experienced divers there is a range of walls and reefs but the main attraction is the huge amount of wrecks that litter the seabed. The lack of boats in the area means the dive sites are also much quieter than neighbouring Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh.
