Soma Bay Holidays

With a peninsula all to itself, and the Red Sea lapping at its shores on three sides, Soma Bay takes sun holidays to the next level. And thanks to the miles of soft, sandy beaches that fringe the resort, there’s plenty of shoreline to go around.

Exclusivity is the name of the game here – from the private, gated entrance to the luxury hotels that have sprung up along the waterfront. Bars and restaurants are clustered around the marina, which is often home to a couple of bobbing yachts courtesy of the resort’s more affluent residents. And this place packs an offshore punch, too, with a smattering of world-class dive spots just off the coast.

When you’re not teeing off at the world-class golf course or skimming the waves on a kitesurf board, it’s hard to beat an afternoon spent kicking back on a prime patch of Red Sea sand.
