Property Overview

DoubleTree by Hilton Sharm El Sheikh - Sharm Bay is a large Red Sea resort split between Beachside and Mountainside areas in Sharks Bay. The current accommodation mix totals around 570 rooms across the two sections, with seven pools, a kids club, playground, fitness facilities and 11 food-and-drink outlets. Beachside focuses on sea access and Red Sea views, while Mountainside adds larger pool areas, slides and sports facilities. The scale makes the resort particularly suited to active family stays rather than an intimate escape.

How far is the nearest beach?

The resort has its own private beach in Sharks Bay, but access varies according to where guests are staying within the large two-section complex. Current Beachside information places the shore around a three-minute walk away, with an internal shuttle also operating, while Mountainside guests have farther to travel through the resort. The beach supports snorkelling, diving and water sports through the on-site dive centre. Reef conditions make marine activities an important part of the beachfront experience.

Distance from Airport

Sharm El Sheikh International Airport (SSH) is around 9 to 11 km from the resort, with a road transfer of approximately 10 to 15 minutes under normal conditions. No domestic flight, ferry or secondary connection is required after arrival. SOHO Square is less than one kilometre away, giving guests easy access to additional dining and evening entertainment outside the hotel. Naama Bay is considerably farther south, at roughly 17 km from the property.

Rooms

Accommodation is divided between Beachside and Mountainside categories. Beachside Premium Rooms measure 28 sqm, Grand Premium Rooms 41 sqm, Premium Suites 58 sqm and Romantic Suites 55 sqm, while family rooms combine two connecting 28 sqm rooms. Mountainside categories include larger Deluxe rooms and suites, with pool-facing options widely available. The inventory gives families and couples plenty of choice, but most accommodation remains conventional resort rooms rather than villas or highly private residential-style units.

Food & Drink

The resort currently promotes 11 food-and-drink outlets across Beachside and Mountainside. Open Bistro and El Mattam serve as the principal buffet restaurants, while CALA provides Mediterranean à la carte dining and Little Asia adds an Asian concept; bars operate by the beach, pools and lobby. Guests staying in either section can use dining facilities across the wider resort. Current bookable rates also include All Inclusive options, giving longer stays a straightforward meal-and-drink structure.

Experiences & Activities

Activities are spread across both sides of the resort and cover beach, pool and land-based entertainment. Seven swimming pools, water slides, tennis, padel, volleyball and organised daily activities provide plenty of on-site choice, while the dive centre supports snorkelling and scuba experiences in the Red Sea. Children have a dedicated kids club and playground with supervised activities. SOHO Square is also close enough for guests wanting additional shops, restaurants and evening entertainment beyond the property.

SPA & Wellness

Wellness is more functional than destination-led. A fully equipped gym and professional spa services are listed within the resort facilities, with massage treatments also available, while the wider programme includes swimming and active sports. The current Hilton amenity list places greater emphasis on fitness than on an extensive spa complex, so the property should not be sold as a specialist wellness resort. Its wellness offer works best as a complement to the beach, pools and activity programme.
