The resort combines five freshwater pools, a 220-metre private sandy beach, multiple restaurants and bars, Elysium Spa, sports facilities and a dedicated children’s programme.

How far is the nearest beach?

The resort sits directly on approximately 220 metres of private sandy beach, so no road crossing or shuttle is required. One section is organised for activities, water sports and animation, while a separate relaxing side is designed for quieter beach time and also gives access to the main diving centre and fossil reef. Coral formations lie directly offshore, making snorkelling and diving a central part of the beach experience. Private cabanas are also available for guests wanting more seclusion.

Distance from Airport

Sharm El Sheikh International Airport (SSH) is approximately 6 km from Sultan Gardens Resort, with the road transfer normally taking around 10 minutes under typical conditions. No domestic flight, ferry or secondary connection is required after arrival. Naama Bay is around 7 km away, making its restaurants, shops and nightlife accessible without placing the resort in the busiest central area. The short airport journey is particularly practical for a straightforward Red Sea stay.

Rooms

The resort has 520 rooms, suites and villas, with entry-level Select Rooms measuring a generous 45 sqm in garden, pool or sea-view configurations. Standard suites and two-bedroom Family Suites measure around 69 sqm, while adults-only Premium Jacuzzi Rooms remain 45 sqm and Premium Jacuzzi Suites reach 69 sqm. At the top end, five 232 sqm sea-view villas each have three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private garden and private pool. Premium accommodation is substantial but represents only a small part of the inventory.

Food & Drink

Dining is spread across several distinct venues, with international buffet service supported by Italian, Indian and Cajun restaurants plus casual outlets such as the pizzeria and seaside snack venues. Multiple pool, beach and lobby bars operate throughout the day, and Al-Dar serves drinks around the clock. Twenty-four-hour room service adds further flexibility. Ultra All Inclusive guests receive selected à la carte dining benefits, while upgraded Sultan Class packages extend those privileges further.

Experiences & Activities

The activity programme combines Red Sea experiences with a broad land-based sports schedule. Guests can dive or snorkel on the house reef, use the water-sports centre, or join beach volleyball, football, basketball, aerobics, water polo, badminton and dance activities. The Magic Carpet Club provides an all-day supervised programme for children aged 4 to 12, with playground equipment, sports areas, crafts, games and video games. Five pools also divide the atmosphere between active and quieter zones.

SPA & Wellness

Elysium Spa provides massage therapy, hot-stone treatments, reflexology, body therapies, a Moroccan hammam, beauty services and couples packages. A complimentary fitness room within the spa adds resistance machines, free weights, cardiovascular equipment and stretching areas. The resort also has an adults-only North 38 pool with private cabanas and an open-air Jacuzzi, giving adults a quieter wellness-oriented space away from the main activity areas. Wellness is meaningful, although it remains part of a much broader resort programme.
