Over the years I have stayed in countless hotels around the world. Most hotels were just a bed and a shower, while others were destinations in their own right. The all-inclusive hotels in Sharm El Sheikh fall into the latter category. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Red Sea, Sharm El Sheikh is a region that has built its vacation concept on ‘unlimited comfort’. However, the experiences under the ‘all-inclusive’ label are very different from each other. The hotels I am going to tell you about are the ones that do justice to this concept, that really add value to their guests and where you can make unforgettable memories in 2025.
Each hotel has its own unique character. Some stand out for their tranquillity and adult atmosphere, others are a favorite for families with their huge water parks, while others attract diving lovers with their impeccable access to the underwater world. This diversity is part of what makes Sharm El Sheikh so attractive for all-inclusive vacationers.
Stella Di Mare Beach Hotel & Spa: An Oasis of Elegance and Tranquility
In Egypt, the Stella Di Mare brand is often associated with quality and good service. This hotel in Sharm El Sheikh is, as the name suggests, beach-oriented with an emphasis on spa and relaxation facilities. Its sprawling grounds offer plenty of corners to get away from the crowds. The first thing I felt when I arrived was the calm and elegant atmosphere. Everything looked in its place, organized and aesthetically pleasing.
The all-inclusive concept really lets you breathe a sigh of relief here. There’s a choice of pools; the main pools can be a little more lively, but there are also calmer, more relaxing pools. The beach is wide and sandy, which is a great advantage for families with children (although the hotel also caters for adults) or for those who just want to take long walks on the beach. The clear waters of the Red Sea are easily accessible from here.
Pickalbatros Laguna Club Resort Sharm El Sheikh – Adults Only: Adults Only Getaway
The Pickalbatros chain is known for its large and extensive all-inclusive resorts in Egypt, and with its “Adults Only” concept, Laguna Club is ideal for couples or groups of friends looking for peace and tranquillity. You’re unlikely to hear the sound of children here, giving you the opportunity to spend quality time on your own or with your loved ones.
The lagoon pools are one of the most striking features of the hotel. The large, curved pools are surrounded by tropical plants and give the feeling of being on small islands. The sun loungers are generally more spaced out and comfortable. Lounging by the pool, reading a book or just soaking up the sun is a pleasure in itself. There is also beach access and again, the atmosphere is more relaxed.
Hilton Sharks Bay Resort: Diving and Snorkeling Classic
When Hilton quality is combined with the all-inclusive concept, you get an option like Sharks Bay Resort, which is both comfortable and location advantageous. Sharks Bay, as the name suggests, is one of Sharm El Sheikh’s bays with the best underwater life. Having direct access to the reefs from the hotel’s own jetty or beach makes it a great choice for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts.
The hotel is spread over a large area and consists of different sections. There are multiple pools, some of which are heated, which is great. There are areas for families and couples. It is also a pleasure to walk in the large gardens. Hilton quality is felt in the general service level. The staff is attentive and helpful.
Aqua Blu Sharm El Sheikh: Kingdom of Family Water Fun
When you think of an all-inclusive vacation in Sharm El Sheikh, one of the first things that comes to mind is the waterparks, and Aqua Blu is really ambitious in this regard. Part of the Pickalbatros chain, this hotel is designed especially for families with children. It has a huge water park and numerous pools. As soon as you step in you can feel how high the energy of the hotel is and that there is an activity around every corner.
The hotel grounds are quite large and the aquapark is located in the center of the hotel. There are slides, wave pools and children’s pools for different age groups. There are so many pools that you can try a different one every day. Rooms and suites designed for families are also comfortable and spacious.
Maritim Jolie Ville Golf & Resort: Large Spaces and Golf Lovers
This hotel in Sharm El Sheikh attracts not only those looking for an all-inclusive vacation, but also those interested in golf, especially with its “Golf & Resort” designation. Being spread over a huge area, different parts of the hotel offer different atmospheres. Rooms and villas overlooking the golf course can be more tranquil, while the main building and pools create a more lively atmosphere.
The hotel has multiple pools and large beach areas. The feeling of freshness brought by the golf course accompanies you throughout your vacation. Different activity areas such as walking paths and bicycle trails are also available at the hotel. The all-inclusive concept is also quite comprehensive here. Restaurant and bar options are wide and cater to different tastes.
Sunrise Arabian Beach Resort: Arabian Hospitality
The Sunrise chain has a large network of resorts in Egypt and they generally offer good standards. The designation “Arabian Beach Resort” indicates that the hotel has some Arabian or Middle Eastern inspiration in its architecture or theme. A private beach is available for hotel guests. Such a concept in Sharm El Sheikh, on the shores of the Red Sea, is very attractive for those who want to enjoy the sea and breathe a different atmosphere.
Verginia Sharm Resort: An Intimate and Cozy Option
Located in a quiet corner of Sharm El Sheikh, this hotel promises tranquillity. You can cool off in the large pool with waterfalls and fountains, and have fun for children and adults in the aqua park among the palm trees. In the mornings, a rich continental breakfast is offered free of charge to start the new day energized. The hotel has a diving center and this is the most important factor that brings this hotel to the top for diving enthusiasts. If you have a calm nature that does not like crowds, this hotel is for you.
Shores Amphoras Closest Point to the Reef
Shore Amphoras is named after Amphoras Bay, home to one of Sharm El Sheikh’s most famous and best-preserved reefs. If snorkeling or diving is the main focus of your vacation, this is the place for you. The moment you step off the hotel’s beach or jetty, you find yourself in an incredible underwater aquarium. For those like me who are fascinated by the underwater world, this is a paradise.
With the advantage of being so close to marine life, the hotel seems to encourage you to spend most of your vacation in or by the water. It has a large beach area and a beachfront location. The pools again offer opportunities for sunbathing and relaxation. The atmosphere is often active and energetic, as many guests spend time in the sea during the day.
