El Gouna Holidays

Find your perfect holiday

Lagoon paradise on the red sea

Head north from Hurghada along the east coast of Egypt and you’ll find El Gouna – a collection of small islands connected by a network of canals and lagoons. Between the miles of soft, sandy beaches and the quiet coves there’s plenty to love about holidays to this modern, cosmopolitan town. As a private, gated resort it's got an exclusive feel to it, too, as well as an abundance of luxury hotels and a pretty marina that's usually home to at least a couple of yachts.

You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to how you spend your days here. Grab a patch of sand on the pristine beach and work on your tan or make a splash with some water sports – from snorkelling to kitesurfing, there’s plenty on offer to keep water babies happy. See if you can sink a hole-in-one on the championship golf course or explore what the town has to offer. Meander through the cobbled streets of the town and you’ll find designer shopping, fine dining, and picture-perfect views around every lagoon.
