Hilton Marsa Alam Nubian Resort

Nestled on Egypt’s idyllic West Coast, overlooking the Red Sea, this highly desired Hilton offers tranquil vibes and pure luxury. Although it’s only a 30-minute taxi ride from the airport, the resort feels beautifully secluded and it also promises year-round sunshine. With four outdoor pools on site, days here are all about swims, sunbathing, and relaxation.

For those who love a stay that’s surrounded by local influences, there’s Egyptian inspiration in everything from the hotel’s Nubian-style interiors to its Bedouin-themed café, which hosts belly dancing shows and live music. Cocktails and kebabs are served at the poolside bar, while the various eateries offer treats including seafood, mezze, and freshly baked pizza.

Families can take advantage of the kids’ club, while the hotel’s diving trips to the local reef are magical experiences not to be missed. When it’s time to put your feet up, the air-conditioned rooms have super-comfy beds and a balcony or terrace with garden or sea views. WiFi, a minibar, a flat-screen TV, and a coffee maker are included, too. 

Looking for a serene stay in Egypt? Go west, life is peaceful there.
