Kempinski Soma Bay

Hurghada


Kempinski doesn’t do understated and this massive complex is no exception. From the palatial arabesque lobby to the immense beach and huge pool area, this is luxury firing on all five-star cylinders. Be aware that Soma Bay is a good 40km south of Hurghada, so this isn't a place for people who like popping into town.

The family-friendly Kempinski has a range of facilities and activities in the resort that will appeal to both kids and their parents. Assorted room sizes are available.
