Sheraton Miramar

El Gouna


Designed by architect Michael Graves, this mammoth pastel-toned five-star resort is one of the original signature properties of El Gouna. The entire complex is strung along a series of beach-fringed private islands just offshore from town and it's a lovely place to stay if you just want to flop out on the beach.

Both the beach and the pool are child-friendly and the large buffet meals will appeal to parents and kids.
