Steigenberger Pure Lifestyle Adults Only is a beachfront hotel in Al Mamsha El Seyahi, on Yousef Afifi Road, and the hotel gives it five stars. It is a small resort by Hurghada standards, with 132 individually furnished rooms, and it is open to adults only, so there are no children's clubs or splash zones. Six restaurants serve international cuisine, with a poolside bar, a swim-up bar and a beach bar, and two outdoor pools, one of them heated, come with a lifeguard on site. The spa offers Thai massage and a steam room, and sky yoga overlooks the beach. The private beach has loungers, and activities such as scuba diving, rowing, canoeing and sailing are listed.
Location and getting around
The hotel is about twelve minutes by car from Hurghada International Airport, and a roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge. It lies in the stretch of coast known as Al Mamsha El Seyahi, closer to the town than the far-flung resorts, so the marina and restaurants are within easy reach by taxi. A golf course is listed among the amenities, and boat trips to Giftun, the dolphin reefs and the desert collect from the area. For a quiet holiday with the option of excursions, the location works well.
Rooms, dining and board
Rooms include free toiletries, hair dryers, safes and 49-inch flat-screen televisions, with air conditioning and 24-hour room service. Some rate plans are all-inclusive, covering buffet and a la carte meals, snacks, select beverages, premium soft drinks and minibar drinks, with gratuities included and some restrictions. Free Wi-Fi and free self-parking are listed, and the hotel has meeting rooms and a banquet hall. Pets are not allowed. Because the hotel is adults-only, it is a good fit for couples, honeymooners, friends and solo travellers who want a calm pool and beach.
Who it suits
Grown-up travellers who want a boutique-sized resort with plenty of dining choice, a spa and yoga, and who do not want to share the pool with children's games. It is not suitable for families with children, and it may feel quiet for guests who want nightlife or a big resort buzz. With only 132 rooms, availability can be tight in peak months, so book early.
Pair the stay with a few excursions, such as a catamaran day, a desert night or a diving course, and use the hotel's activities for easy days. Ask about the dining schedule and which restaurants require reservations, and check the transfer costs from the airport when you book. Confirm any dress code in the evening restaurants.
