Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh Announces Major Expansion and Enhancement Project

Along a kilometre of private beachfront where the southern Sinai desert meets the Red Sea, Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt  has been a favourite of sunseekers since opening nearly 20 years ago.  Now, a major expansion and enhancement project will add 22 hectares (54 acres), doubling the size of the current property and making room for more guest accommodations, dining options and pools, plus an all-new fitness facility and a large conference centre for meetings and destination weddings.  A full service on-site PADI centre offers immediate access to one of the world’s top diving and snorkelling destinations.

“Since opening nearly 20 years ago, Four Seasons has been the leading luxury resort on the peninsula, a favourite holiday destination for families, friends and couples from across Europe and the Middle East,” says Simon Casson, President, Hotel Operations – Europe, Middle East and Africa. “Now as we embark, together with our visionary ownership partners, on one of the company’s most ambitious expansion and enhancement programs ever, Sharm El Sheikh is poised to become a truly world class destination for those who crave sun and sea in an authentic luxury setting that only Four Seasons can create.”

When the enhancements are complete in early 2022, Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt will offer a large collection of luxury suites including multi-bedroom residence-style accommodations with private pools; five new food and beverage concepts; renovated spa and all-new two-storey fitness centre; enhanced recreational facilities including a new PADI dive centre plus tennis and squash courts; and for its youngest guests, an all-new dedicated children’s club.  A new state-of-the-art convention centre will more than double the Resort’s event capacity with new indoor and outdoor spaces for up to 2,000 guests.

“We can’t wait to introduce this exciting destination to a new generation of travellers from around the world,” says General Manager Sam Ioannidis.  “For the many guests who come back again and again, we have so many surprises in store.  Over the years we’ve watched families grow, celebrated important milestones together, set the stage for the most romantic moments, explored the abundant natural world and immersed ourselves in desert culture.  Now we have the opportunity to offer our guests so much more, and our team is more dedicated than ever to ensuring that each and every stay with us is fully tailored and completely memorable.”

Blessed with year-round sunshine and an ideal location just 10 minutes from the international airport, guests of the newly expanded and significantly enhanced Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt will have their toes in the sand in no time as they settle in for a holiday to remember.

Families Love Four Seasons

Beginning with an expanded collection of accommodations ranging from connecting rooms to one and two bedroom pool suites, residential-style villas and chalets and the new beachfront Palace suite, multigenerational families of all sizes will feel at home at Four Seasons.  A total of five outdoor pools – plus the Resort’s private beach – means youngsters can splash about while adults lounge in the sun, and with 12 different restaurants to choose from, every palate will be pleased.

As part of the expansion program, Four Seasons will introduce an all-new, fully supervised kids club offering a daily schedule of games, arts and crafts, cultural immersion, active play and more.  The new facility will have several dedicated activity zones, including a space reserved just for teens.

As always at Four Seasons, younger guests are VIPs with surprise treats upon arrival, and when parents need a little adult time at the Spa or an evening alone, professional babysitting services are available in addition to the complimentary kids club.

Dive into One of the World’s Most Accessible Underwater Paradises

Just offshore of the Resort’s private beach are reefs teeming with colourful fish, and more than 70 world-class dive sites, many with intriguing shipwrecks, are just minutes away by boat.  An all-new PADI dive centre will debut, ready to guide swimmers, snorkellers and divers of all ages and experience levels, with lessons and tips from PADI Instructor Riham Hussein and her team.

Those who love looking at water as much as being in it will bask in long days of sunshine on the south-facing private beach, perhaps opting for a sunset yacht cruise, and certainly taking advantage of the Resort’s seaside location to enjoy fresh catch in the restaurants, including the popular Reef Grill and the new Asian fusion restaurant Yatai.

Just the Two of Us: Romantic Experiences

Whether marking a milestone anniversary or simply wanting to get away for the weekend, Four Seasons offers an array of rooms and suites couples may never want to leave, but when they do, 44 hectares (more than 100 acres) of lush gardens invite sunset strolls, terraces set the stage for moonlit dinners, and poolside cabanas offering full beverage service allow couples to relax and recharge.  Active couples will love exploring the undersea world together, while the renovated spa pavilion is the place to be pampered.
