Steigenberger Alcazar - Egypt

Package price from, per person sharing

A polished Red Sea stay can still work well for families when beach time, dining and organised activities are all easy to combine. This Egypt holiday package brings together return flights from South Africa, airport transfers, accommodation and selected meals, while guests can add snorkelling, diving, spa time and evening entertainment. Spacious rooms and strong family facilities make longer stays practical without turning the experience into an aqua-park-led holiday.

Property Overview

Steigenberger Alcazar is a 584-room beachfront resort in Nabq Bay, combining extensive landscaped grounds with a large private beachfront and contemporary low-rise accommodation. Three heated pools, two children’s pools, seven restaurants, several bars, Mividaspa, sports facilities and a diving centre support the stay. The room inventory includes a notably high number of swim-up categories alongside family rooms, suites and two private-pool villas. Its overall feel is polished and upscale, although the scale remains substantial.

How far is the nearest beach?

The resort has direct access to its own private Red Sea beachfront, so no road crossing or shuttle is required to reach the shore. Swimming and snorkelling are supported by a long jetty that extends over the shallow reef to deeper water, while the beach itself is used for sunbathing and relaxation. Coral conditions mean the jetty is important for safer deep-water access. A diving centre on the beach adds a more structured way to explore the surrounding marine environment.

Distance from Airport

Sharm El Sheikh International Airport (SSH) is around 13 km from Steigenberger Alcazar, with the road transfer typically taking about 15 minutes. No domestic flight, ferry or secondary connection is required after arrival. The resort sits in Nabq Bay, while SOHO Square is roughly 9 km away and Naama Bay is farther south. The relatively short airport journey is useful for travellers wanting a large full-service Red Sea resort without a long onward transfer.

Rooms

The resort has 584 rooms, suites and villas. Superior Rooms measure 46 sqm, Deluxe Family Rooms 58 sqm, suites range from 92 to 141 sqm, and the two villas reach 216 sqm with private pools and sea views. Ninety-nine rooms across the Superior and Family inventories have swim-up access, while five suites also feature private pools. The base accommodation is generous for Sharm El Sheikh, although the most exclusive features remain concentrated in a relatively small share of the inventory.

Food & Drink

Dining depth is a major strength, with two main buffet restaurants and five specialist à la carte venues covering Lebanese, Japanese, Mediterranean, Italian and seafood cuisine. Several lobby, pool and beach bars extend food-and-drink service throughout the day, while 24-hour room service adds further flexibility. The current All Inclusive programme includes the main restaurants, selected bars and a limited number of à la carte visits according to length of stay. This gives longer stays meaningful variety beyond a single buffet format.

Experiences & Activities

The leisure programme combines Red Sea activities with sport, family facilities and evening entertainment. Guests can use the diving centre, water sports, tennis, yoga, beach volleyball, mini football, archery and aqua activities, while the multilingual animation team organises daily programmes. Two kids clubs and two children’s pools cater to younger guests, and evening entertainment includes live music and traditional Egyptian folklore shows. The mix works particularly well for families who want a structured resort programme without an aqua-park focus.

SPA & Wellness

Mividaspa provides a genuine wellness component with massage and beauty treatments, sauna and steam facilities, while separate areas are available for men and women. The wider wellness offer also includes yoga and other active sessions, giving guests options beyond treatment-based relaxation. Spa rituals include hammam-style experiences and couples treatments, while the resort’s quieter pool and beach areas add further places to unwind. The spa is substantial, although it remains one part of a much broader leisure resort.
