Tropicana Tivoli

If you’re looking for somewhere that shines from every angle, the good-looking Tropicana Tivoli is right up your holiday street. Set in gorgeous lush gardens, this sophisticated hotel is centred on a sprawling courtyard, which shuts you off from your surroundings and creates an oasis of tranquillity.

Not that there’s much around to disturb you. Away from Sharm El Sheikh’s bustling centre – here, it’s just you, the hills and the honey-coloured coral on the hotel’s private beach. The ultimate Egyptian escape you could say.

The glamorous centrepiece of the courtyard is the enticing lagoon-style pool. Laced by immaculate emerald-green lawns, inviting sunbeds and an elegant bar, it’s the perfect spot for lazy days under the bone-dry sunshine.

And when you’re not working on your tan, there’s plenty to keep you busy. Grab some quiet time in the library and get stuck into that bestseller you’ve not managed to start yet. Browse the hotel shops and treat yourself to a unique piece of jewellery to show off back home.

Or head down to the dive centre and take the plunge with some scuba diving lessons. However you spend your time in Egypt, there’s nowhere better to spend it than this chic and oh-so sleek hotel.
