Holiday in Soma Bay

About Soma Bay

Soma Bay is the most exclusive address on the Egyptian Red Sea – a peninsula about 45 kilometers south of Hurghada, offering only a handful of selected luxury resorts, a top-notch diving area, and a championship golf course, providing a level of quality unmatched in Egypt. Those seeking tranquility, quality, and underwater adventures will find the ideal refuge in Soma Bay. The peninsula juts out like a finger into the Red Sea, offering beaches on both sides – the west side with calm, shallow waters and the east side with direct access to the open sea and the best reefs. The house reef of Soma Bay is among the best-preserved along the entire Egyptian coast. Divers and snorkelers rave about intact coral walls that drop vertically, Napoleon fish, turtles, and with a bit of luck, even dolphins. The PADI-certified dive centers on-site offer courses for all levels. On land, the Cascades Championship Golf Course, an 18-hole course right on the coast designed by Gary Player, impresses with breathtaking views over the Red Sea. The spa at The Breakers Resort is one of the most renowned wellness centers in Egypt, utilizing natural seawater and local minerals for its thalasso therapies. Unlike Hurghada and Makadi Bay, there is no hustle and bustle or mass tourism in Soma Bay. The few hotels – including Kempinski, The Breakers, and Robinson Club – focus on quality rather than quantity. The atmosphere is calm, well-maintained, and international. For German vacationers looking to soak up the sun even in winter, Soma Bay, with its 365 sunny days and winter temperatures around 24 degrees, guarantees relaxation. Hurghada Airport is reachable in 45 minutes.
