Egypt – A royal escape in Sharm el-Sheikh

Situated on idyllic Nabq Bay, in the north of Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, you’ll find an oasis of luxury where the Red Sea sparkles as far as the eye can see. Steigenberger Alcazar is just ten minutes from the airport, meaning your holiday begins almost immediately. No long transfers or waiting times. Just palm trees, azure water, and the promise of pure pampering. Thanks to its tranquil location, you can enjoy privacy and expansive beaches without the mass tourism. At the same time, you’re close enough to the city center to easily plan excursions and trips.

An entrance that impresses

From the moment you enter the imposing driveway, you’ll feel it: Steigenberger Alcazar is no ordinary resort. The architecture combines modern elegance with Arabic influences. The impressive entrance leads you to two separate reception areas, ensuring a smooth and personalized check-in. The spacious lobby exudes grandeur with high ceilings, marble accents, and refined details. The use of natural materials and warm tones immediately creates a sense of exclusivity. Everything here exudes class, from the lighting to the subtle fragrance that fills the lobby.

In the lobby, you’ll find the stylish Marha Lobby Bar and Cazar Lobby Bar, where you can enjoy cocktails, fresh coffee, or a glass of bubbly. It’s the perfect place to kick off your evening in style or cool off during the day in an elegant setting. The bartenders work and serve your drinks with an eye for detail. Whether you choose a classic mocktail or a creative signature cocktail, the presentation is always refined.

Pure grandeur in the Royal Suite

For those who demand only the very best, there’s the Royal Suite.

The suite is perfect for honeymooners dreaming of a romantic setting with maximum exclusivity. It’s also the perfect spot for a stylish photoshoot, where the natural light and elegant interior complement each other. The combination of space, design, and comfort makes this stay unforgettable.

Ultimate privacy in the villas

The villas elevate exclusivity to a new level. With multiple bedrooms, a private pool, and spacious living areas, they are perfect for families who want to combine luxury and privacy. The architecture creates a harmonious transition between indoors and outdoors, ensuring that constant holiday feeling. A photoshoot is highly recommended here, especially around the private pool at sunset. These villas are ideal for larger families or groups of friends traveling together without sacrificing comfort.

The combination of luxury and functionality makes this hotel suitable for every traveler. Good to know: Steigenberger Alcazar has no fewer than 584 guest rooms.

Late Risers Breakfast and extensive buffet

Unique and definitely worth mentioning: the Late Risers Breakfast in the Almaza Bar. For those who like to sleep in, an à la carte menu is available from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Imagine a luxurious experience with refined dishes instead of a classic buffet. This concept perfectly suits the relaxed holiday rhythm and emphasizes the hotel’s fine dining philosophy. The Belgian waffles are highly recommended, of course, but the cheese and charcuterie board is also a delight. Naturally, you can also order a tea, coffee, or fruit juice of your choice. Of course, there’s also an extensive breakfast buffet in the main restaurant with live cooking stations, fresh juices, pastries, and international specialties. The quality of the ingredients and the presentation elevate the classic breakfast to a higher level.

Global flavors in the Main Restaurant

The Zohreya buffet restaurant serves both lunch and dinner in a stylish setting. Here you can sample international cuisine, themed evenings, and live cooking. The open kitchens create interaction and a dynamic atmosphere during dinner. Despite the buffet concept, the entire experience feels refined and luxurious. The variety makes it ideal for families, as there truly is something for every taste.

Refined fish dishes at Sanafir

The Sanafir fish restaurant is open for lunch and dinner. Dinner is especially recommended, offering a la carte dining. The beachfront setting creates a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. The focus is on quality, fresh, regional fish products. The salmon tartare as a starter and the Sanafir trio of grilled fish as a main course are highly recommended. Sanafir is the perfect location for a romantic dinner overlooking the sea. The combination of culinary finesse and location makes every meal here special.

Lebanese finesse at Amoura

Restaurant Amoura transports you to the Middle East with authentic Lebanese dishes. Think refined mezze, hummus, babaghanoush, kibbeh, cheese, and aromatic herbs to start. The warm decor and ambient lighting by the pool create an intimate setting. Ideal for those who enjoy sharing and dining together in a cozy atmosphere. As a main course, the mixed grill is highly recommended. Shish tawook, kebab, kofta, lamb chops, Syrian spices, Antakly bread, and grilled vegetables on the barbecue create a truly delicious feast. The rich flavors beautifully complement the resort’s international offerings.

Even more culinary indulgence

In addition, the resort offers several other à la carte restaurants, each with its own specialty. The variety and premium quality make this hotel a foodie’s paradise. From international classics to modern interpretations, every evening can be different. For example, there’s the Mediterranean restaurant La Maison, the Italian restaurant Limoni, and the Japanese restaurant Hama. This makes staying here culinary-inspired, even for longer holidays. Fine dining is no exception here, but the standard.

Swimming pools, entertainment and family fun

With several spacious swimming pools, including an adults-only pool, there’s room for everyone. Families enjoy separate children’s pools and two kids’ clubs with activities for different ages. During the day, there’s premium entertainment for all ages, from sports activities to creative workshops. The pools are spacious, so it never feels crowded. This makes the hotel particularly suitable as a family hotel with luxurious facilities. There are also various sports facilities, including a gym, beach volleyball, soccer, tennis courts, table tennis, and billiards.

An added bonus: buggies will take you anywhere you want in the resort, the hotel staff will drive around with drink carts by the pool, and there are even staff members who will spontaneously polish your sunglasses. These small touches add to the luxurious feeling. The service is proactive and always friendly, without being intrusive. It’s that combination of comfort and attention that makes all the difference.

A true snorkeling paradise

The private jetty extends over the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea. Here you can snorkel among colorful fish and coral reefs. The reef right in front of the hotel is surprisingly vibrant. The best part? All snorkeling equipment is provided free of charge. This allows you to jump in spontaneously without extra costs or having to worry about luggage space.

Complete relaxation at the Mivida Spa

At the Mivida Spa, you’ll find complete tranquility. Enjoy the sauna, steam bath, and traditional hammam. The stylishly decorated spa environment exudes serenity from the very first moment. Book a massage at reception and let all your stress melt away in a luxurious treatment room. A spa visit isn’t just an extra, but an essential part of the experience.

Exclusive enjoyment in the Beach Cabanas

For extra privacy, book a Beach Cabana on the 30,000m² private beach. Here, you’ll be pampered with fresh fruit, refreshing cocktails, and a cool box filled with chilled drinks. The cabanas are especially popular with couples and honeymooners. Romantic dinners on the beach and even beach weddings are also possible. It’s the perfect setting for special moments in an exclusive setting.

Families and couples alike will find entertainment tailored to their needs. Day and night, there’s always something to do for every age group.
