The Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh

The Oberoi Beach Resort Sahl Hasheesh is a five-star luxury resort situated within the planned coastal bay of Sahl Hasheesh, approximately 18 kilometres south of Hurghada International Airport on Egypt's Red Sea Riviera. The resort occupies a prime beachfront position within the gated Sahl Hasheesh development, a private bay renowned for exceptionally calm, clear water and an accessible barrier coral reef beginning just metres from the shoreline. The absence of heavy resort construction immediately adjacent to the bay preserves an unusually uncrowded stretch of Red Sea coast by Egyptian standards.

The architecture draws on Moorish and Ottoman design traditions, combining domed pavilions, arched colonnades, and ornamental tilework with contemporary luxury interiors. Buildings are spread across landscaped grounds descending to the private beach, creating a sequence of intimate outdoor spaces defined by water features, tropical plantings, and stone pathways. Every suite and villa features a private terrace or balcony overlooking either the Red Sea or the resort gardens, with consistent attention to spatial privacy between units.

Accommodation consists entirely of suites and villas, with categories ranging from Premier Suites through Beach Villas to Pool Villas with private plunge pools and butler service. All room types feature high ceilings, locally inspired décor, walk-in closets, and luxury bathroom fittings. Higher villa categories include dedicated butler service and priority access to the resort's exclusive beach sections.

Dining options include two main restaurants: Saffron, serving contemporary pan-Asian cuisine with a focus on Indian and Southeast Asian preparations, and The Caves, offering Mediterranean and international dishes in a more relaxed setting. Both venues emphasise fresh Red Sea seafood. The Lighthouse bar provides cocktails and light bites in an elevated position overlooking the bay.

The spa features treatment rooms offering Ayurvedic therapies, traditional Egyptian hammam rituals, and contemporary wellness programmes. Three outdoor swimming pools, including an adults-only infinity pool aligned with the sea horizon, complement the private beach. The resort's PADI dive centre provides guided reef dives and certification courses. Water sports including kayaking, windsurfing, and stand-up paddleboarding are available from the beach. A dedicated kids club offers supervised activities for children aged four to twelve, supporting families with young children alongside couples seeking a quieter luxury experience.
