Club Reef Sharm El Sheikh

Set out on a jetty above Sodfa Coral Reef, the resort's private beach opens straight onto one of Sharm El Sheikh's dive and snorkel sites. An in-house diving and excursions centre runs from here, sending guests out over reef that starts just off the shore. The resort sits on a cliff above Tower Bay, about 20 km from Sharm El Sheikh International Airport and 7 km from Naama Bay. It holds 126 rooms and suites across four categories, from superior rooms to junior suites, each with a balcony or terrace facing the sea, garden or pool. Four pools cover the grounds, three for adults and one for children, with two heated through winter. La Siesta Spa adds Turkish bath, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi alongside body massage. It is compact by resort standards. Three restaurants cover an open buffet, a grill house and a seafood room at Tiran, and four bars run from a lobby bar to a shisha tent with an Arabian theme at night. A football field, beach volleyball court and clubhouse with a reading room round out the grounds, and a children's club runs separate programming for younger guests. A conference room seats up to 250, useful for events held by the sea rather than in a city hall.
