Cook's Club El Gouna - Adults Only

Get ready for a new kind of holiday at Cook's Club El Gouna in Hurghada, where good food and great music go hand in hand. Solely for adults, everything about this hotel has a relaxing vibe, from its private lagoon setting perched on the shores of Egypt’s Red Sea to its Bedouin features and cosy seating areas.

Hang out by the pool during the day and soak up the hotel’s unique atmosphere with a DJ providing daily chill-out mixes. And party animals looking to dance until the early hours of the morning can do just that at the Friday night pool party where the music doesn’t stop until 3am. Closeby find Captain Cook Bar, your go-to for all things refreshing. Watch in awe as the bartenders whip up the perfect poolside cocktail infused with fresh juices, premium spirits and handpicked herbs.

Feeling peckish? Mealtimes at Cantina are a culinary treat. With live cooking stations dishing up mouthwatering food, you’ll find a good mix of flavours with plates plucked from the streets of Saigon alongside international favourites including a pizza corner. Menus change nightly too, so there’s always something new to savour.

Indulgence and relaxation are the order of the day when you’re not partying. Set your alarm early so you can join the popular yoga class, which runs six days a week. But nothing is more mood-boosting than a weight lifting session at the outdoor gym. For fast-paced watersports, look no further than the hotel’s private lagoon and jetty. Here, you can take your pick from water skiing, wind/ kite surfing, or if you’re feeling brave, splash diving from a wooden plank. You can also enjoy free access to one of El Gouna’s best dive sites at Zeytouna Beach, where you can snorkel over a beautiful coral reef.

Looking for a daytrip? You can’t come all the way to Egypt without venturing into the desert. Whether you want to jump in a 4x4, hop on a camel or get your adrenaline pumping on a quad bike, there are plenty of ways to explore the golden dunes. Those hoping to see the area through the eyes of a local should book one of the many hiking tours. Partying late into the evening is also on the cards with two trendy marinas nearby - both perfect for a waterside sundowner.

After a jam-packed day, your stylish room will be on hand to offer a great night’s sleep. And you’ll feel right at home thanks to the minimalist style and soft furnishings. Opt for a snug classic or book a lagoon-facing room for something a little more luxurious. All stays come with a king or two twin beds, free Wi-Fi, hairdryer and bathroom with a shower as standard.
