Set on a 600-meter stretch of private beach in Sahl Hasheesh Bay, just south of Hurghada, Baron Palace is built around Arabian-palace architecture — domes, arches, and courtyards on a genuinely large scale, with roughly 650 rooms across the resort.
Seven a la carte restaurants span Egyptian, Italian, Mexican, Asian fusion, and Japanese teppanyaki cuisine, an unusually wide range for a single resort. Guests consistently single out the beach itself: unlike many nearby resorts that reach the house reef only via a jetty into open water, Baron Palace’s sandy beach offers a protected, easier entry — a genuine practical advantage on windier days.
The resort is noted for genuinely accessible design, including wheelchair-accessible rooms and facilities throughout the property — a real distinction on this stretch of coast. Adults-only zones (select pools, the spa area, a dedicated lounge) sit alongside family-friendly spaces including a mini-football pitch and tennis courts.

Bookable directly through Baron Hotels or standard resort platforms. Sahl Hasheesh sits roughly 30km from Hurghada’s city center, making this a resort-based stay rather than a base for exploring the town itself — a shuttle bus runs to central Hurghada for guests who want a change of scenery.
Six hundred metres of private beach in Sahl Hasheesh Bay, in full Arabian-palace style. Baron Palace suits travellers who want the drama of a big architectural statement and a quieter bay than central Hurghada, half an hour or so to the north.
The styling is emphatic. If you prefer understatement, the Oberoi in the same bay is the other way of spending similar money.
In the same bay, The Oberoi Beach Resort is the restrained luxury alternative. In Hurghada proper, Steigenberger Al Dau and Hilton Hurghada Plaza. Further south, Kempinski Soma Bay occupies its own peninsula.
Sahl Hasheesh is a purpose-built resort bay rather than a town, which means a good beach, calm water and very little to walk to. Travellers who want to eat outside the hotel should budget for taxis into Hurghada, or choose a base in town instead.
