Arabella Azur Beach Resort Hotel

Arabella Azur Resort is on the seafront on Egypt's eastern coast in Sakala. It's a short drive away from the airport and the resort town of Hurghada. The hotel has 3 beaches, a rocky beach, one for families and a Reef Beach. You can also enjoy the heated outdoor pool for all seasons as well as a gym and spa facilities, where a range of treatments are available. There are seven bars, where you can try a range of local beers, wines and spirits. These can be found in the lobby, by the pool and down on the beach. The restaurant opens for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and here you can try a range of dishes and cuisines, while snacks are available throughout the day. If you are travelling with children, they can enjoy the activities organised by the hotel-run kids' club, as well as the games room inside the main building. Hurghada is renowned around the world for its Red Sea coral reefs, which are popular with divers. If you're keen to try your hand at it, you can explore the nearby World War II shipwrecks. There's a number of beaches to enjoy too, and you can head into town to try the restaurants in Sakala Square or explore the shops and bazaars on Sheraton Road.

The beach is steps away from Arabella Azur Resort, and the resort centre of Hurghada is 5km away. Hurghada Marina Boulevard is 2km away, and here you will find a collection of shops, restaurants and bars by the waterfront. You can shop until you drop or relax with a drink, and watch the yachts being moored at the harbour. For a taste of traditional Egyptian culture, you can head 5km north to El Dahar, which is Hurghada's Old Town. This is home to authentic food and spice markets where you can practice your haggling skills. You can also see some traditional North African architecture here.
