Low-rise Red Sea luxury with space and privacy
The Oberoi Beach Resort, Sahl Hasheesh is set on the Red Sea coast south of Hurghada, with architecture and landscaping designed to feel more like a collection of private residences than a conventional resort block. Spacious suites, gardens and a long shoreline make it particularly well suited to travellers wanting a quiet beach stay after a more intensive journey through Egypt.
Suites
Accommodation is entirely suite-based, with generous interiors and private outdoor space. The upper categories add private pools and significantly more room for outdoor living.
Royal Suites provide around 90 sq m of interior space within a total private area of approximately 225 sq m, including a bedroom, living room, marble bathroom, pantry, private pool and canopied outdoor dining pavilion. Grand Suites with private pools provide another attractive option for couples wanting greater seclusion.
The Red Sea
The resort’s shoreline provides direct access to the clear waters for which the Red Sea is famous. Snorkelling and diving are natural priorities here, with excursions allowing guests to explore reefs and marine life farther offshore.
For those who prefer to stay on land, the gardens, pool and beach create an easy rhythm of long, unstructured days.
Spa and wellness
Oberoi’s spa programme combines individual treatments with longer wellness rituals, including massage, facials and traditional therapies. The tranquil resort layout makes wellness feel integrated into the stay rather than an isolated facility.
Dining
Dining follows the Oberoi emphasis on attentive service and carefully prepared international and regional cuisine. Private dining can also be arranged, particularly appealing for guests in pool suites or celebrating a special occasion.

Why we like it
This is a strong choice when the beach portion of an Egyptian itinerary needs to feel genuinely restful. The low-rise design and suite format create privacy without losing the facilities and service of a full resort.
Private Hideaway Escapes can advise on the most suitable suite category and combine Sahl Hasheesh with a wider tailor-made Egyptian journey.
