Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh

One of our favourite hotels on the Egyptian mainland Red Sea, the Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh offers style, location and luxury.

Despite its opulence, the Oberoi Sahl Hasheesh is relatively small and intimate for an international five-star hotel. Situated just outside the busy main drag of Hurghada, in Sahl Hasheesh itself, this is undoubtedly the place to come if you’re looking for a little peace and tranquillity in the area. Beautifully set amidst 48 acres of private gardens tumbling serenely down to the beach, there is a soothing style and ambience to everything here. All of the 102 accommodation options are suites, with neutral colour tones, large comfortable beds and stylish bathrooms, making them feel permanently light and airy. There is a lovely swimming pool, a luxurious spa and a well-stocked gym in the central hotel area, while golf cart transfers can be taken to get around the extensive site and back to your room. Fresh seafood is particularly enticing in this area, as you might expect, but there is also the choice of top-class Indian cuisine at the Zaafran Restaurant. There's a long stretch of soft sand beach, and while the Red Sea waters can often be somewhat choppy, there is some excellent snorkelling to be enjoyed straight from the hotel’s private jetty.
