Whether scuba-diving into the depths of the sea, windsurfing on top of it, or simply walking hand-in-hand barefoot along the shallows, your days in Hurghada are likely to revolve around the warm aquamarine waters of Makadi Bay. Fortunately, the staff at Fort Arabesque Resort, Spa & Villas are accustomed to this and can arrange any water sports you’re inclined to try, as well as housing their own PADI-accredited dive centre for serious enthusiasts. If you prefer your water salt-free, there are five outdoor hotel pools to choose from, each overlooking the sea.
Eventually, though, you’ll need to return to solid land, and the golden sands of the 900 m-long private beach will be there to greet you. It’s only a scant few steps from here to the hotel doors, but you can still stop here for a cocktail before resuming your journey.
When you need to refuel, there are plenty of options, including a nightly BBQ at the beach bar, romantic à la carte dining with live jazz at Club 159, and shisha, music, and dancing across the other resort restaurants.
Round off your stay with a trip to the tranquil Vareena spa, where refreshing body wraps, hot stone massages, and soothing facials will completely rejuvenate you, from head to toe. The Pharaohs of Egypt themselves couldn’t have been more pampered and cared for than you will be in the expert hands of the Fort Arabesque Resort, Spa & Villas.
