This low-key resort, on a sweep of bay along the main road to the Blue Hole, is the perfect getaway. Decorated in warm, earthy tones with accents of antique wood, the charming rooms have a touch of understated beach-chic elegance. If all the peace and serenity gets too much, the bright lights of Dahab are a 10-minute taxi ride away.
