Aurora Oriental Resort

Looking for a Sharm el Sheikh stay? The Aurora Oriental Resort could be the perfect pick. It's perched on a long strip of sand, which makes up the hotel's lounger-lined private beach. This vast resort extends almost a kilometre backwards from the shore, but you needn't worry about trekking down to the coast, as there's a handy shuttle that can whizz you from reception to the beach – and back – in no time. Here, the Red Sea is clear and calm and you’ll have views across the water to Tiran Island, which looks stunning at sunset.

Prefer chilling out poolside?  You’re in luck – there are three pools dotted around the hotel’s grounds, one is reserved for relaxation, and there are separate swimming spots for little ones, too.
