About this hotel
General information
Chedi El Gouna is an 82-key resort on the Red Sea shore at El Gouna, set above its own natural cove with a sandy beach. Its low-key façades borrow from the region’s building traditions and settle into the landscape, while some wings climb a hillside that looks out to sea.
Inside, the look is the Asian minimalism the Chedi name is known for: bamboo sliding doors, dark ebony details, pearl marble and a quiet palette of earth tones. Around the buildings are tropical gardens with ponds and lanterns, two large pools, a spa with hammams, a rooftop Japanese restaurant and a beach bar at the water’s edge. The modest scale and an attentive concierge make it a good base for slow days by the sea as well as active ones on the water.
Location
The resort is in El Gouna, a resort town on the Red Sea coast north of Hurghada. Hurghada Airport is 26 km away; the hotel arranges private car transfers, and taxis are also available. Around town, shuttles link the hotels and tuk-tuks run to the kite beaches, Abu Tig Marina and the town centre.
Spa
The spa draws on Asian design. It has four single treatment suites with steam showers, two couples’ suites with whirlpool tubs, two traditional hammams and a relaxation area reserved for spa guests. The menu covers massages, hammam rituals, facials, body treatments and beauty therapies, using Saskia Spa products from Alsace in France and Norshek, a handmade label from El Gouna itself. Treatments are for guests aged 16 and over, and the Prima beauty salon sits within the spa. The fitness centre adds separate saunas and steam rooms for men and women.
Sports & leisure
The Technogym-equipped fitness centre is open around the clock; the yoga studio hosts group and private classes, and trainers lead free group classes, personal sessions and beach boot-camp circuits. Beyond that:
- stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking from the beach, plus kayak, paddleboard and bicycle tours with the recreation team
- snorkelling gear, beach volleyball and bocce, free for guests
- boat trips, snorkelling and diving over the coral reefs, booked through the diving representative or the concierge
- kitesurfing and parasailing at the schools and stations around El Gouna
- an 18-hole golf course a few steps away and two more in town – El Gouna Golf Club, Steigenberger Golf and Ancient Sands Golf Club
- 4×4 desert tours and day trips to Luxor
