Hotel Royal Plaza  

If you're looking for a beach-rich holiday base that's right in the heart of the action, try this one for size. It's right in Naama Bay, Sharm El Sheikh's lively heart, so you're just an easy walk away from all the great shops, bars and restaurants that this resort's well known for. And on top of that, a sun-kissed curved beach is less than five minutes' walk away. So it's just a matter of popping on your flip flops, grabbing your towel and padding down to a seductive stretch of glittering sand. Pretty tempting, we think you'll agree. What's more, if you don't fancy sharing Naama Bay's horseshoe bay with all the other sun-hungry holidaymakers, you've got the option of the hotel's private beach as well. It's a few minutes' drive away but there's a free shuttle bus to ferry you back and forth so you don't have to worry about taxi fares. Sunbathing aside, the hotel's a luxurious affair that engulfs you in a cocoon of tranquillity the moment you step into the perfectly-polished lobby.

Rooms are really spacious and have got everything you might need for a comfortable stay, including air-conditioning, a minibar and satellite TV. There's a great health club where you can choose whether to work up a sweat in the gym or simply sit back and relax in the sauna. And, as you'd expect from a hotel of this standard, you've got a choice of places to eat, too. Pile your plate high at the mouthwatering buffets three times a day. Savour international flavours in the rooftop a la carte restaurant as you gaze out to sea. Or just grab a simple snack right by the inviting waters of the pool. Talking of the pool, there are two to tempt you here, one of which is up on the roof so you can soak up views of the Red Sea while you take a dip. When the sun makes way for the moon, head for the piano bar for a cocktail or two before venturing out to sample a few of Naama Bay's lively bars. With its great location and fabulous range of facilities, the Royal Plaza Hotel ticks all the right boxes. And then some.

Ras Mohammed National Park is the ideal spot for a bit of underwater exploration, and St Catherine's Monastery provides a sightseeing option that makes a change from the usual ancient sites of Egypt. There is a fish restaurant on the beach.
