Family Adventures are for the Making at Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh

Little brother only has eyes for blue swimming pools. Big sister is keen for wind-sculpted desert sands. Parents are primed to share tales of family adventures with friends back home, but they’d also like culture and good times with their kids at the table. Fortunately, they booked their family vacation at Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh, where enjoyment for every generation waits just beyond their guest room door.

Sculpted across a picturesque hillside that cascades to a kilometre-long (0.6 mile) private beachfront on the Red Sea, Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh has a wealth of activities and amenities for every generation to create memories beneath sunny and starry skies. A destination all its own for peak season travel, the Resort specializes in building itineraries for families, with experiences for all ages onsite or nearby.

The Water is Waiting

Possibilities for everything from quick dips to deep dives are everywhere at Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh, with four swimming pools surrounded by comfortable lounges, serviced cabanas, and thousands of Royal Palm trees. Youngsters just dipping their toes into aquatics will love the Aladdin play-pool, with a puddle-jumper depth of just 0.6 meters (2 feet). Children who have already taken to water are invited to polish their strokes with swimming lessons led by professional teachers.

Top-of-the-line equipment and instruction for snorkelling and scuba diving are available from the Resort Dive Centre, Sinai Blues which can arrange everything from chartered yacht cruises and excursions to 76 recognized dive sights across the clear Red Sea. The Dive Centre also stocks an array of personal watercraft, from transparent kayaks and banana boats to stand-up paddleboards, and more. A resort reef located just offshore and camel rides on the beach are kids favourites – though parents and their Instagram followers won’t want to miss these memories.

Desert by Sun or Starlight

From the inland edge of the Resort, the Sinai Desert sets quite a scene, with rugged mountains, geological formations, and panoramas of rocks and sand. Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh invites family travellers to head out and explore with experiences including jeep tours through the picturesque Red Canyon and Wady Gunai, where natural springs quench palms, plants, and trees. A personalised Desert Stargazing Adventure offers wide-eyed wonder for progeny and parents alike, with dazzling skies viewed through powerful telescope at a traditional Bedouin camp that welcomes guests with tea and flatbread. Four Seasons also arranges desert tours via horseback and camelback, quad and buggie, and specialized 4x4 vehicles for dune bashing, that’s just as fun as it sounds.

Time for Parents

Though nothing rewards like togetherness on family travel, parents who want time on their own to relax and rejuvenate can enjoy at Resort’s Luxury Spa, take a cultural tour of Sharm El-Sheikh, or unwind in the sun by a pool. Resort services to create such time include babysitting; the complimentary Kids for All Seasons program, with everything from arts and crafts to tennis and treasure hunts for children ages 4 to 12; and experiences including food decorating, kids yoga, nature walks, and storytelling. The Resort ensures every young guest feels right at home with special welcome amenities, plus cribs, rollaway beds, and WII rentals for guest rooms are available.

Satisfying Appetites of All Ages

Whatever the hour, nothing brings families together like sharing a meal. Four Seasons invites families to break bread at a dozen restaurants and lounges, plus in-room dining, serving a world of cuisine between them. The resort offers kid-friendly menus, hot spots for family dining include Zitouni serving traditional Levantine fare straight from the oven for breakfast and dinner; Arabesque offering Middle Eastern specialties before sun-drenched views of the Red Sea; laid-back, and seafront Reef Grill with proteins and seafood prepared to perfection over charcoal.

Sun-splashed Luna next to the serene Luna Pool, is a must-do through the day, with the Red Sea on the horizon and delicious Latin American dishes on the menu. For really special family occasions, the eco-conscious Beachfront Bedouin Breakfast is an ideal option or the Intimate Dining on a Private Beach is perfect for a romantic dinner for two.

Taken together, Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh offers a feast of experience for family travellers, with something for everyone to indulge and enjoy.
