Jolie Ville Kings Island

Getting active is a cinch around here, too. Serve and volley on the two floodlit tennis courts, work up a sweat in the state-of-the art gym or enjoy a jog to remember around the hotel’s custom-built walkway. It’s two-and-a-half kilometres long and has sweeping views of the Nile to keep you company. If that all sounds like too much hard work, however, you can always grab a bit of me-time at the luxurious spa.

Foodies, meanwhile, will be more than satisfied at this hotel. Take your pick from a huge international buffet open at breakfast, lunch, and dinner and three à la carte restaurants – ranging from Asian and Teppanyaki to Italian classics. Plus, 65% of the fruit and veg here is from the hotel's own garden, so you know you're getting the best ingredients. There are four bars dotted around the premises, too, including two pool bars and one with an outdoor terrace so you can enjoy a chilled cocktail in the Egyptian sunshine.

You may be living it up on an island but that doesn’t mean you’re cut off from everywhere else. Stay here and you’re just a 10-minute drive from downtown Luxor, with easy access to Karnak Temple, Luxor Museum, and more. Just think…. location, setting, and five-star facilities all wrapped up in one irresistible package.
