It’s a fantastic family-friendly resort featuring spacious accommodation – including interconnecting rooms, an Olympic-size main pool, as well as kids’ and adult-only pools. The resort provides an excellent kids’ club with a playground and entertainment park and endless day and night activities to try. There’s an on-site spa and water sports and dive centre, as well as seven dining choices and six bars – all part of the all-inclusive plan.

Located on Egypt’s sunny southern coastline, this sensational sprawling resort is surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds and swaying palms, overlooking the Straits of Tiran. It occupies an enviable position in Sinai and the Red Sea, known to be one of the world’s top diving places. Ras Mohamed National Park is under 30 miles from the hotel and should be the top of your list for diving and snorkelling – although Nabq Nature Reserve is closer, only 13 miles away. Both areas offer a captivating view of the marine life and beautifully coloured coral reefs that thrive under the turquoise blue waters. Beyond the sea are the mountains and deserts of Mount Sinai and Saint Catherine's Monastery. This deeply mystical and ancient landmark is one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world and a must-see, especially at sunrise or sunset. Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture and traditions of Sharm El Sheikh at The Old Market, approximately 15 miles from the resort. Here, dazzling displays of spices, textiles, jewellery and ornaments are presented along the narrow alleyways of this bustling market. After which, savour regional delicacies or a glass of sweet mint tea from the numerous cafes and restaurants that surround the area. Sharm El Sheikh International Airport is only six and a half miles away.
