Hurghada Marriott Beach Resort

If you’re tantalised by the prospect of a palm-fringed beach, a lagoon-style outdoor pool and the crystal clear water of the Red Sea, then this smart beachfront stay on Egypt’s Red Sea coast is tailor-made for you. It’s only a 10-minute drive from Hurghada Airport, too, so before you know it, you’ll be chilling on a sun lounger and ready to get your holiday started. 

As well as offering direct beach access and an outdoor pool, you’ll find a fully-equipped fitness centre (complete with sauna and steam rooms) and tennis courts on-site. So, if you like to stay active as well as relaxing while you’re away, this is a great place to be. Travelling with little ones? The kids club and animation team are on-hand to provide all kinds of fun-packed activities throughout the day. 

The international buffet restaurant caters for all different tastes with a diverse selection of hot and cold dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, while the Ristorante Tuscany invites you to enjoy Italian classics, served à la carte. You can also grab a bite to eat at the cafes and snack bars dotted throughout the complex, including the Surf & Turf pool bar, which serves up fresh sandwiches, burgers, pizzas and more. Drinks are always close by as well, whether you fancy stopping by the poolside bar, The Patio Cafe, the Sunset Lounge or the lobby bar for a morning coffee, a pre-dinner glass of wine or a cocktail before bed.
