The Ultimate Golfing Resort on the Red Sea.

Soma Bay is an exclusive resort on Egypt’s Red Sea Riviera just a four/five hour flight from London with year round sunshine and mild temperatures.  Soma Bay offers an ideal Red Sea holiday with some of the most beautiful sandy beaches, magnificent views of desert mountains and blue skies, one of Egypt’s most stunning desert links-style golf courses and superior scuba diving and snorkelling with some of the best dive sites in the Red Sea as well as world-class wind surfing, sailing, kite surfing and more….

Luxury Accommodation available through Tropical Sky consists of the Sheraton, Soma bay, situated on 700 metresof beachfront property flanked by the serene backdrop of desert mountains.  Tranquil and secluded, the Resort is a sharp contrast to the more crowded tourist towns further north.   Unique features include special use of The Cascades, a championship golf course designed by Gary Player.  Not only was it the first golf course open for play on the Western Red Sea coast, it is the first Championship Course in the Middle East designed by one of the “Big Three”  - Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.

The 18 hole, par 72 course, offers breathtaking views of lush green fairways that contrast dramatically with the rugged desert and the clear blue sea waters.  Adjacent to the Championship course, is the 9 hole, Par 3 Challenge Course, also designed by Gary Player that offers the beginner and the more advanced golfer the opportunity to practice a variety of shots with the emphasis on the short game. The Par 3 Challenge Course serves the Golf Academy where individual and group tuition by PGA Golf Professionals is available. There are also extensive practice facilities, including a 60 bay driving range, and several putting and pitching practice greens.
