Soma Bay sits on its own peninsula between Hurghada and Port Safaga — a purpose-built resort headland rather than a town, with the Kempinski as its flagship property overlooking one of the bay’s finest stretches of sand.
A 1km house reef runs directly off the 400-meter private beach, giving guests enough underwater variety to fill a full diving program without ever needing a boat. Beyond the water, the nearby Cascades Golf & Country Club — an 18-hole, par-72 course designed by Gary Player — anchors Soma Bay’s reputation as a genuine golf-and-dive combination destination, a rare pairing on this stretch of coast.
Four to six restaurants and bars cover the range: The View, the main restaurant, serves breakfast and dinner buffets blending Egyptian and international dishes with an interactive open kitchen; Al Mar sits poolside for à la carte Mediterranean lunches; Bamboo Shoot adds an oriental dinner menu. All rates typically include the full buffet breakfast, with half- and full-board options available.

325 rooms and suites, all with Arabian-style decor, balconies, and lagoon or Red Sea views. About 14 minutes south of Hurghada International Airport. Bookable directly through Kempinski or standard resort platforms — several reviewers note the shallow beach entry, worth knowing if strong swimming access matters more than the reef itself.
