Package price from, per person sharing

Staying in central Naama Bay makes it easy to combine resort time with evenings beyond the hotel. This Egypt holiday package brings together return flights from South Africa, airport transfers, accommodation and selected meals, while travellers can add snorkelling, diving, water sports, spa time and local excursions. Families have dedicated facilities, while the choice between Beach Wing and Palm Wing allows different priorities around beach access and room configuration.

Property Overview

Novotel Sharm El Sheikh is a 382-room resort in Naama Bay, divided between the beachfront Beach Wing and the Palm Wing across the road. Five outdoor pools, including an adults-only pool and children’s pool, combine with a private beach, three restaurants, kids club, spa and fitness centre. The split layout gives guests a choice between quicker sea access and greener Palm Wing surroundings. Its central Naama Bay position also keeps shops and evening entertainment within easy reach.

How far is the nearest beach?

The Beach Wing sits directly beside the hotel’s private Red Sea beach, so guests staying there can reach the sand without crossing a road. Palm Wing accommodation is on the opposite side of the road and requires crossing to reach the beach facilities. The shoreline supports swimming, snorkelling, diving and water sports, with reef life accessible close to the hotel. This makes room location important for travellers who want the simplest possible beach access.

Distance from Airport

Sharm El Sheikh International Airport (SSH) is less than 10 km from Novotel Sharm El Sheikh, with the road transfer normally taking around 10 to 15 minutes. No domestic flight, ferry or secondary connection is required after arrival. The resort is also in the heart of Naama Bay, around one kilometre from the main pedestrian and shopping area. This combination makes both airport arrival and evenings outside the resort particularly straightforward.

Rooms

The resort has 382 rooms, including 104 family rooms and 32 connecting rooms. Standard Palm Wing rooms are around 42 sqm and accommodate up to four guests, while Beach Wing Superior Rooms are approximately 34 sqm and sleep up to three. Family Suites in the Palm Wing reach about 54 sqm with a separate bunk-bed area, and Junior Suites are around 49 sqm. The room range is practical and spacious, but remains primarily conventional hotel accommodation.

Food & Drink

Dining is centred on three restaurants. Coral Restaurant provides international buffet service with themed dinner nights, Al Dente specialises in Italian cuisine, and La Palma adds another restaurant option within the resort. Three bars cover pool, beach and evening settings, while 24-hour room service extends the food-and-drink offer beyond restaurant hours. Current rates also include an All Inclusive option, giving guests flexibility between standard board choices and a more comprehensive resort plan.

Experiences & Activities

Activities combine beach time, water sports and family entertainment. Guests can arrange diving, sailing, windsurfing and boat excursions from the private beach, while the resort also offers volleyball, table tennis, games and organised entertainment. Children have dedicated clubs for different age groups, indoor and outdoor play areas and their own pool. Adults can use a separate adults-only pool, while Naama Bay’s shops and entertainment are close enough to explore independently.

SPA & Wellness

The on-site spa offers massage treatments and a hammam, supported by relaxation areas and a separate fitness centre. Wellness is therefore more substantial than a simple massage service, although the facilities are designed as one part of a broader beach resort stay rather than as a destination spa. Heated pools and the adults-only pool add further relaxation options. The combination works well for guests who want occasional wellness time between beach, family and sightseeing activities.
