How Red Sea packages work

Sportextreme pairs accommodation with curated activities rather than selling either on its own, focusing on diving alongside coastal and desert adventures. The resorts serve as functional bases where accessibility to house reefs and marina moorings matters as much as the room itself.

Nightly rates are quoted per person, keeping costs transparent across different properties. The price spread runs from 842 SEK at the entry level up to 2,466 SEK for boutique suites.

Hurghada and Makadi Bay

Hurghada provides the widest selection of properties and the lowest starting price. Tropitel Sahl Hasheesh sits at 842 SEK per person per night, set along the bay south of the city. JAZ Aquamarine costs 1,087 SEK per person per night with 20 outdoor pools, while SUNRISE Royal Makadi costs 1,145 SEK per person per night on Makadi Bay. Steigenberger ALDAU Beach Hotel represents the high-end resort in Hurghada at 1,678 SEK per person per night, featuring a lazy river and a private golf course.

Fort Arabesque Resort in Makadi Bay costs 1,305 SEK per person per night and prioritises direct reef access off the sand. Hurghada also features shorter airport journeys than the southern bays, so transfers take minimal time away from water sessions.

El Gouna architecture and calm water

El Gouna sits north of Hurghada and attracts travellers who value architectural character, quiet lagoons, and active watersports like kitesurfing. Sheraton Miramar Resort El Gouna costs 1,321 SEK per person per night, spread across nine separate islands linked by wooden bridges.

Casa Cook El Gouna is the top-priced resort at 2,466 SEK per person per night. The property operates as an adults-only retreat with minimalist villas, opening onto a private lagoon beach with dedicated kitesurfing and yoga facilities.

Marsa Alam and Coraya Bay

Marsa Alam is the southern base chosen for marine life encounters and quieter house reefs. Hilton Marsa Alam Nubian Resort costs 1,148 SEK per person per night, built with traditional domed roofs beside the turtle grounds of Abu Dabbab Bay. Steigenberger Coraya Beach costs 1,375 SEK per person per night and operates as an adults-only sanctuary on the sheltered waters of Coraya Bay.

Reaching these southern bays requires longer road travel from major transit hubs, which rewards longer itineraries. The trade is simple: you spend extra time in transit to secure uncrowded drop-offs and healthier corals.

Sharm El Sheikh and the Sinai

Sharm El Sheikh sits at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula across the Gulf of Suez. Reef Blue Bay costs 1,000 SEK per person per night, perched on the cliffs of Naama Bay with multiple infinity pools facing the Gulf of Aqaba.

Staying on the Sinai coast puts day boats within easy striking distance of the protected reefs at Ras Mohammed National Park and the Strait of Tiran. The desert interior rises immediately behind the town, making it easy to pair offshore diving with inland quad or camel treks.

Deciding on a Red Sea base

If nightly spend decides the trip, Tropitel Sahl Hasheesh at 842 SEK per person per night and Reef Blue Bay at 1,000 SEK per person per night provide the lowest entry points. Snorkellers wanting vivid reefs straight off the beach should prioritize Fort Arabesque Resort in Makadi Bay, while divers focused on sea turtles belong in Marsa Alam at Hilton Marsa Alam Nubian Resort.

When hotel styling and a child-free atmosphere take precedence, Casa Cook El Gouna and Steigenberger Coraya Beach offer distinct adults-only settings. If the Red Sea is only one of several destinations under consideration, Sportextreme also arranges comparable dive and resort packages in Thailand and the Maldives.
