An introduction to Sofitel Sharm El Sheikh

A gem in Sharm El Sheikh's glittering crown, this hotel takes traditional north Africa and gives it a contemporary kick. Step inside the lobby and it's all Moorish arches, Arabesque copper lanterns and intricately-carved ceilings. But check out the pool, restaurants and facilities and it's every bit the contemporary five-star luxury you'd expect from a prestigious chain like Sofitel. Stand at the very top of the complex and soak up spine-tingling views of Naama Bay. Then make your way down a series of steps taking in the hotel's many temptations along the way. Browse charming little shops packed with everything from souvenirs and spices to jewellery and beachwear. Take your pick from a great selection of bars and enjoy a refreshing drink in the sun. Or refuel in one of several world-class restaurants serving up international buffets as well as fresh seafood and authentic Indian cuisine. The pool is huge and surrounded by a terrace studded with sunloungers – the ideal place to laze away the day. Of course, the hotel has its own private beach where you can discover the Red Sea's delights. There are plenty of other water-based activities available besides diving and snorkelling, including parasailing and canoeing. Plus you can take to the water in a catamaran, pedalo, kayak or glass-bottom boat. Away from the Red Sea, there's archery, tennis and horse-riding to keep you entertained. Plus there's a fully-equipped fitness centre whose impressive features include a Turkish bath, sauna, gym and four massage cabins. Come sundown, one of the nicest spots in the resort is the sunset bar, which looks like an old-fashioned bird cage perched on the seafront. Order your favourite tipple then sit back, relax and reflect on another great day as you gaze on a sky splashed with colour. Bliss.
