Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt

Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh

1 / 10

The takeaway

Choose it for a Red Sea stay where reef access and a long private shore meet a hillside resort linked to the beach by funiculars.

About the hotel

Set on a hillside between the Red Sea and South Sinai’s desert mountain peaks, Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh spreads from elevated gardens down to the water. The resort lists 289 accommodations across guest rooms, chalets and villas, suites, and signature suites. Its defining geography is unusually tangible: a kilometre of private beachfront sits below the hilltop areas, connected by two funiculars that travel through palm-filled gardens.

Choose it if

You want Red Sea diving and snorkelling options based at the resort, including a diving centre and two jetties.
You like a hillside setting and appreciate the funicular connection between the upper resort and beachfront.
You are travelling with children ages 4–12 and value the supervised Kids for All Seasons program.

Skip it if

You prefer a flat, compact property: this resort is hillside-set, with funiculars linking its upper areas to the beach.

What real people are saying.

Reddit excerpts · separate from Rex’s editorial judgment

Guests describe memorable family stays and praise the staff; another visitor was struck by how easily the resort’s house reef could be reached. One commenter cautions that there is no sandy shore and finds the food expensive relative to Sharm, while another notes that conferences and major events can bring full-property buyouts.

“Last time I was there was 2019, just before covid. Such a great property with amazing staff, it made our holiday with our then toddlers very memorable.”

“2nd place is Four Seasons, its good but no sandy shore and its not really up to global four seasons standard, and food is quite expensive compared to Sharm”

r/Sharm_El_Sheikh ↗ · Oct 2, 2026

“FS Sharm is a beautiful resort with some of the best service we have seen. That said, it’s popular for MICE, and gets bought out for flagship events like climate conferences.”

Mövenpick Resort & Spa Dead Sea

Sweimeh, Jordan

Beach346 roomsSpa

On the northern shore of the Dead Sea in Sweimeh, this 346-room resort is laid out in a traditional village-style setting among gardens. The scale supports a substantial resort stay rather than a small, standalone spa retreat, with rooms and suites spread across the property. Its defining experience is Zara Spa, a 6,000-square-metre complex with hydrotherapy facilities and treatments drawing on Dead Sea traditions; direct shoreline access adds the option of experiencing the lake itself.
