Property Overview

SUNRISE Arabian Beach Resort -Grand Select- is a 421-room beachfront property in Sharks Bay, arranged across six terraced levels overlooking the Red Sea and Tiran Island. The resort combines seven pools, nine restaurants, multiple bars, a private beach, kids club, spa and broad sports facilities. Accommodation ranges from spacious standard rooms to swim-up categories, Posh Club suites and a Royal Villa. The scale and facilities create a polished, activity-rich resort experience rather than a highly intimate one.

How far is the nearest beach?

The resort has direct access to a 250-metre private beach, so no shuttle or road crossing is required to reach the shoreline. A long jetty extends across the reef and provides access to deeper Red Sea water for swimming, snorkelling and diving. The beach setting is therefore particularly relevant for guests interested in marine life as well as sunbathing. Sea conditions and reef protection can affect entry points, but the beach remains fully integrated into the resort grounds.

Distance from Airport

Sharm El Sheikh International Airport (SSH) is approximately 8 km from the resort, with the road transfer taking around 10 minutes under normal conditions. No domestic flight, ferry or secondary connection is required after arrival. Sharm El Sheikh centre is roughly 12 km away, giving guests access to additional dining and entertainment beyond the hotel when wanted. The short transfer is a practical advantage for travellers arriving from South Africa and heading straight into a resort stay.

Rooms

The 421-room inventory starts with Superior Rooms at 43 sqm, while Deluxe and Deluxe Swim-Up Rooms measure 51 sqm and Family Suites 53 sqm. Posh Club categories include Junior, Executive and swim-up suites, with the Presidential Suite reaching 141 sqm and the Royal Villa 450 sqm. Standard accommodation is therefore notably spacious, while the most personalised privileges are concentrated in selected suite categories. Connecting rooms are also available for families.

Food & Drink

Dining depth is one of the resort’s stronger features, with nine restaurants covering international, Arabian, Greek, Indian, Thai, Mongolian, Italian, seafood and French cuisine. Nine bars and lounges add beach, pool, pub, shisha and lobby settings, while 24-hour room service is also available. The Premium All Inclusive programme covers meals, snacks and selected drinks around the clock. Several à la carte venues are included, giving longer stays more variety than a buffet-led format alone.

Experiences & Activities

The activity programme combines Red Sea experiences with sport and daily entertainment. Guests can arrange diving, snorkelling and boat trips, while on-site options include tennis, multi-purpose courts, aqua aerobics, fitness activities, live music and themed evening shows. Kids Club activities cover drawing, colouring and cooking for children aged 3 to 12, and one pool is reserved for adults. The combination gives families and couples enough choice to spend substantial time within the resort.

SPA & Wellness

The Spa and Wellness Center has dedicated treatment rooms, a relaxation area, sauna, steam room, Arabian hammam, hydro pool and massage rooms. Its treatment menu includes classic, Thai, hot-stone, couples and hammam rituals, while a separate gym provides modern fitness equipment, classes and personal-trainer assistance. Both spa and gym facilities are reserved for guests aged 16 and above. This is a substantial wellness offer, although it remains one component of a much broader beach resort experience.
