Fort Arabesque

Perched on Egypt’s sweeping Red Sea coast, Fort Arabesque is a haven for beach lovers. This luxury hotel sits on a caramel-coloured curve of sand in popular Makadi Bay and comes with facilities that could persuade even the keenest tanner from their sunbed. 

Here, you can count four outdoor swimming pools – plus one that's just for kids – edged by tropical gardens. Some even come with extras like water features or a swim up bar. There are plenty of activities to get involved with, too – think beach volleyball, table tennis and all manner of watersports down at the beach. There’s even a coral garden just offshore – you can snorkel to it without taking a boat trip. For little ones, there’s a kids’ club.
