Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh is set on a hillside above the Red Sea, with terraces that step down from the desert to a private beach about a kilometre long. The hotel has 289 rooms, a private beach with free cabanas and sun loungers, four outdoor pools plus a children's pool, a spa and health club, four tennis courts and a dozen restaurants and bars. The hotel describes access to a protected marine reserve and an on-site dive centre, with dozens of dive sites close by. It is calm and polished, a place to settle in rather than to hop between hotels.
Location and getting around
The resort sits on its own hillside stretch of coast with a private beach, so most guests treat it as a base and arrange excursions through the hotel or operators with pickup. The Ras Mohammed and White Island boat trip, the Tiran Island snorkeling trip and the desert dinner all collect from Sharm hotels, though confirm your property when booking. Naama Bay is a taxi ride away for an evening out. A round-trip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge, and free self-parking is available.
Rooms and who it suits
The resort offers sea-view rooms and a collection of 52 suites across nine types, up to the Imperial Suite and The Palace, with a private chef available in the Imperial Suite. The pools, the long beach and the kids' extras, such as free infant beds and cribs on request, suit couples, honeymooners and families who want space. Guests give it a very high rating. It is not a budget stay, so if you only need a bed between excursions, a smaller hotel in Naama Bay will save you money.
Good to know
Breakfast is an extra charge on some rates, so check the board basis when you book. With a dozen restaurants and bars, you can eat well without leaving the grounds, but resort prices apply for extras. The house reef is not described by the hotel, so ask about snorkeling and diving access when you book. In high season, from October to April, reserve restaurants and any private Bedouin dinner early.
