Novotel Sharm El Sheikh

Dealing in five-star sunshine stays, Novotel Sharm el Sheikh is a great choice for a Red Sea getaway – due in no small part to its setting right on the sandy shores of Naama Bay. And thanks to a private section of the beach complete with loungers and parasols, days here can be spent doing not very much of anything except soaking up the sun.

If you’ve got itchy feet on the other hand, there’re plenty of ways to keep busy, too. Check out the water sports offering down at the beach or get stuck into the daily activity programme laid on by the hotel’s animations team. There are five pools dotted around the grounds, too, including a fun activity pool, lazy pool, and a heated number. When you're not making a splash, be sure to check out the gym and spa, which has a menu of massages and therapies that're the perfect way to treat yourself.
