Guide to Soma Bay

"Unashamed luxury on a stunning Red Sea peninsula, this is the place to come for some seriously stylish beach relaxation."

Soma Bay captures the essence of Egypt's Red Sea Riviera. Located on the dreamy Ras Abou Soma peninsula, this self-contained complex of luxury hotels will please you no end if you're hot on sun, sea and sand. The only dilemma of the day will be whether to lounge on the flawless beaches or expend your energies on the myriad of watersports on offer. Diving-wise, this is endorphin-racing territory. The nearby exotic reefs are an aquatic wonderland of soft coral pillars swirling with shoals of barracuda and the occasional cruising turtle. If you prefer your pleasures above water, the adrenalin-rush of catamaran sailing and windsurfing will tempt you into the calm waters of the bay, letting you get your fill of the jaw-dropping views around you. When you're not indulging your sporting whims at the beach, there's always the new golf complex, designed by Gary Player himself. If you're a keen golfer, teeing off at this sun-soaked 18-hole course while being gently cooled by soft Red Sea breezes is a fairway to heaven. And just in case you're still in need of luxury, head for the health and spa centre at your hotel for a pampering massage or whirlpool session. Should you ever tire of the pleasures here, take an excursion to Luxor to marvel at its awe-inspiring tableau of ancient treasures and temples. Or rummage around the shops of nearby Hurghada for bargains to take back home. What more could a holiday offer?
