Egypt on the Red Sea – Luxury Between Desert and Sea

There are places where the landscape itself defines luxury. Soma Bay in Egypt is one of them: golden desert meets the intense blue of the Red Sea, palm trees fringe pale sandy beaches and distant mountains frame the horizon. Set on a naturally preserved peninsula around 
45 kilometres south of Hurghada, Soma Bay feels wonderfully removed from the everyday – a destination made for long, sunlit days by the water.
At the heart of this setting, Kempinski Hotel Soma Bay rises like a contemporary Moorish palace. Graceful arches and oriental-inspired architectural details open onto expansive terraces, pools, lagoons and views across the Red Sea. Opened in 2009, the five-star resort combines Kempinski’s European heritage with the warmth of Egyptian hospitality, creating an atmosphere that feels refined yet refreshingly relaxed.

Beyond the hotel, the Red Sea becomes part of the experience. A 400-metre sandy beach, clear waters and extraordinary marine life invite days of snorkelling, diving and watersports, while golf, desert adventures and seaside walks offer a change of pace on land. For slower moments, Soma Bay is also known for its extensive spa and thalasso facilities – an appealing counterpoint to more adventurous days in and around the water.
For travellers searching for a luxury hotel in Egypt or an exceptional Red Sea resort, Kempinski Hotel Soma Bay captures a particularly seductive side of the country: space, sunshine and understated elegance, framed by desert landscapes and an endless blue horizon.
