Four of the Most Fabulous Hotels on Egypt’s North Coast

This summer there’s definitely something about Marassi. The community resort - nestled on the shores of Egypt’s North Coast (known lovingly by the locals as ‘Sahel’) - is shaping up to be one of the hottest destinations of the season. 

As well as laying claim to six of the most stunning beaches on this stretch of the South Mediterranean, Marassi has launched a world-class Marina brimming with dining destinations cooked up by some of the hottest names on the regional culinary scene. They’ve also served up shopping experiences crafted by the hottest of sartorial innovators, and laid on an after-dark entertainment line-up that would make even the coolest of the Balearic Islands envious. All of which has ensured that when the day’s sea, sand and sun are done, Marassi is the hautest-hub for apres-beach fun. 

If you’re yet to discover this picture-perfect part of the world - perhaps because you’ve been hiding under a rock somewhere in Sardinia all month - there’s still time to save your summer. Marassi has decided to break with Sahel tradition and keep its proverbial doors open all the way through to October 6th. 

And so fresh off the back of this exciting extension announcement here are our recommendations for the four most beautiful stays in Marassi… 

VIDA HOTEL

The Dubai-born boutique brand makes its Egypt debut with a sleek and sophisticated hotel that hugs the Marina. Think yacht views, sea views and most importantly - see and be seen views! 

ADDRESS BEACH RESORT MARASSI 

Lush, lavish and luxurious this beachside property is for those who like their summer days as glamorous as they are glorious, with blue skies, white sands, azure waters and every whim catered for.

ADDRESS MARASSI GOLF RESORT 

Beyond the beach, this discreet property tantalises with its Tuscan style architecture, world-class spa and championship golf course. Ideal for those who prefer the quieter things in life. 

AL ALAMEIN HOTEL

If you know, you know. If you don’t, maybe it’s about time you found out. For decades, this hotel - nestled right on the waters of the Mediterranean - was a secret Egyptians were reluctant to share. A ravishing renovation in recent years has ensured that the hotel has kept its nostalgic beach charm but now comes with luxury as standard. A forever favourite for good reason.
