The Sheraton Soma Bay Resort is a stunning beachfront hotel inspired by Luxor's Karnak Temple Complex. The resort’s secluded location on a small peninsula close to Safaga, just 18.6 miles from Hurghada is the ideal gathering place for friends and family where you are just steps away from a family-friendly aqua park, pristine sand and numerous water sports.

Although the hotel’s design reflects Egypt’s ancient history with themes of pharaohs and pyramids, modern facilities and design are featured across the whole building including a large outdoor swimming pool, 18-hole golf course designed by Gary Player, an aqua park and a modern health club and spa services.

At the Sheraton Soma Bay Resort, you can recharge in your spacious room offering a tranquil oasis from your balcony overlooking the pool, the gardens, or the crystal-clear Red Sea waters.

Delicious dining is always on offer! You can choose to dine outdoors on the sprawling terrace of the International Restaurant, overlooking the sea or try the cosy Italian restaurant and watch the chefs prepare authentic Italian fare. Copper Crescent is a popular lunch spot with cool breezes and exotic aromas in the open air. L'Abydos Brasserie is a smart-casual restaurant open for breakfast and dinner, serving delectable cuisine in its dining room and outside on the terrace overlooking the Red Sea. You also have the option to visit the Sea View and the Sea Food restaurant or grab a snack from the Soma Splash Bar at the end of your dive.

The Orca Dive Club Soma Bay is located at the Breakers Soma Bay, a 5-minute walk from the resort over the bridge to the drop-off reef at Ras Abu Soma. Orca Divers will cater to all diver levels and ship you to the reefs of Tobia, Panorama, Abo Khafan or even to the wreck of “Salem Express” where you will have the opportunity to come up close and personal with fish of all kind and sometimes even bigger inhabitants: turtles, barracudas or rays are regular visitors.

ORCA Dive Club Soma Bay is based at The Breakers, a modern lifestyle hotel of superlatives, specially designed for enthusiastic divers, snorkelers, and kite surfers. From the dive centre, it is only a short walk across the 420 metres long jetty that takes you to one of the most beautiful house reefs in the Red Sea and access to the drop-off reef of Ras Abu Soma.

The dive centre has a large open-air area with check-in counter, training rooms, diving bar with a wonderful view over the beach, several drying rooms for guest equipment and a shop with the most important diving equipment, T-shirts and souvenirs.

They have a dedicated compressor including a nitrox system only for house reef dives and additional compressors and a nitrox membrane system in the Soma Bay Marina for boat dives.

Diving training according to SSI, PADI and CMAS as well as all possible special courses of the associations are also on offer.

The house reef Soma Bay promises spectacular dives. Unlimited diving from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The diving equipment is driven to the end of the jetty with environmentally friendly electric vehicles, so that everyone can start their house reef dive with fresh vigor. In the marina, a 5-minute drive away, the day boats are waiting for the full-day and half-day trips, the speed boats for early morning trips to the panoramic reef, for trips to the nearby reefs such as Tobia Arbaa or for drift dives along the house reef Abu Soma.
