Things to do
The list of activities is quite simply endless, and the efficiency of this upscale resort means your every whim can be catered for. A private concierge will help you make the most of your time. Your day might start with a sunrise yoga session followed by a healthy breakfast and a tennis lesson before a therapeutic few hours in the spa. Or you may prefer to head out on a morning dive trip to the magnificent coral gardens and World War II wrecks followed by an afternoon of paddleboarding the calm waters of the Red Sea.
Those looking for off-site experiences can enjoy a thrilling desert jeep safari in the Sinai or even visit the ancient city of Thebes (Luxor) by plane with a private Egyptologist to explore the awe-inspiring Valley of the Kings including the tomb of Tutankhamun.
Sleeping
Rooms and suites are decorated in a tasteful blend of contemporary features and pared-back colour schemes. Some come with ornate Arabian detailing such as carved screens and decorative arches; others stick to a more modern aesthetic. All are very spacious and include a living area, replete with deep-pile sofas, opening out onto shaded terraces or gardens, some with sea views. Families will enjoy the two-bedroom Residential Suites, just steps away from the beach, family pool and kids’ club; the lavish standalone villas sleeping up to eight are privacy personified.

The Red Sea is not generally known for culinary excellence yet at Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh, you’ll be absolutely spoilt for choice with a fabulous array of cuisine over its astonishing 12 restaurants. Enjoy a Lebanese feast at Zitouni and pan-Asian Japanese fare at Yatai or sample refined Italian, Mediterranean seafood or Middle Eastern specialities among others at restaurants scattered within the hotel grounds. This means there really is truly something for everyone from the fussiest of toddlers to the more discerning gourmand.
