Steigenberger Aldau Beach Hotel
Hurghada, Egypt

Why this position
Among the three highest guest scores of the 20 hotels we rank here: 9.6 from 1,726 reviews. Leads the ranking: a higher guest score than #2 (9.6 to 9.5).

Pickalbatros Blu Spa Resort
Hurghada, Egypt
Adults onlyPickalbatros Blu Spa Resort is an adults-only hotel for guests aged 16 and over, built for couples who want the whole holiday taken care of… It stands on the Red Sea shore along Hurghada's Village Road, with a private beach, four pools, a spa and four restaurants close together, all on an ultra all-inclusive basis. Guests keep returning to the same points: rooms and grounds kept spotless, staff who are quick to help, a beach with soft sand and warm, clear water, and a calm mood without children. The trade-offs are smaller ones. Smoking is allowed in the lobby bar, which bothers some non-smokers, and spa treatments come with a sales pitch and prices that are negotiated. On a longer stay a few guests wished the menus changed more often. Couples who want sun, sea and spa without planning anything will find a well-run base; anyone after a small, secluded hideaway should look elsewhere.
Why this position
Rests on more guest reviews than #1 (3,584 to 1,726), at a slightly lower score (9.5 to 9.6).
Featured in our guide: 12 luxury adults-only hotels in Hurghada: the best in 2026
JAZ Makadi Star & Spa
Hurghada, Egypt
BeachJAZ Makadi Star & Spa is an adults-only hotel in Makadi Bay, built for travellers who want a calm resort with a spa rather than a town base… The hotel's private beach is a short walk away inside the Makadi compound, there are two pools, a diving centre and the Mividaspa, and Souk Makadi is close enough to stroll to in the evening. Guests praise the staff above all, often by name, and come back again and again to the variety and quality of the food and the spotless, modern rooms. The weak points are practical. The wifi lags well behind the rest of the hotel, and Makadi Bay is far enough from Hurghada that trips into town or to the airport add up. Mosquitoes can be a nuisance in the evening. Couples and friends who plan to spend their days between the beach, the pools and the spa will find an attentive, peaceful base.
Why this position
Among the three highest guest scores of the 20 hotels we rank here: 9.6 from 312 reviews. Scores higher than #2 (9.6 to 9.5), on a smaller body of reviews (312 to 3,584).

Steigenberger Pure Lifestyle
Hurghada, Egypt
Steigenberger Pure Lifestyle is an adults-only hotel where children are not allowed, and it is designed for couples and adult travellers who want a modern, calm base on the Red Sea… It stands on the beach in Hurghada's El Mamsha El Seyahi area, with a private beach, a pool open all year, a spa and several restaurants. Guests talk above all about the service, which many describe as exceptional, followed by spotless rooms, a stylish design and food that is both good and varied. Some guests come back year after year. The main drawback is planning dinner, as the à la carte restaurants can be hard to book at a sensible time. Evenings are quiet, which suits most guests but disappoints anyone hoping for parties and shows. Travellers who want good service, good food and peace by the sea will feel at home; those looking for nightlife should stay elsewhere.
Why this position
Guests on Booking rate it above #6 (9.4 to 9.0), but it has no Google rating yet, which the ranking weighs equally; #6 has 4.8.

Premier Le Reve Hotel & Spa Sahl Hasheesh
Hurghada, Egypt
All inclusivePremier Le Reve Hotel & Spa Sahl Hasheesh is an adults-only hotel for guests aged 16 and over, and it is built for couples who want calm and attentive service… It lies on Sahl Hasheesh Bay, south of Hurghada, with a private beach, five pools including a glass-domed sky pool, a spa with a sauna and several speciality restaurants, all on an all-inclusive basis. Guests talk most about the hospitality, especially at the front office, and about a resort that is spotless and carefully run, with spacious, comfortable rooms. The drawbacks are minor. Smoking is allowed in outdoor areas, including around the main pool, the Wi-Fi could be stronger and the room TVs are basic. Shopping on site is limited too. Couples looking for a peaceful, well-kept resort by the Red Sea will find little to fault; travellers who want shops and town life on the doorstep may feel the bay is too self-contained.
Why this position
The same guest score as #7 (9.4), on a smaller body of reviews (603 to 774).

The Makadi Spa Hotel
Hurghada, Egypt
ViewsThe Makadi Spa Hotel is an adults-only hotel for guests aged 18 and over, and it is made for couples who want calm above all… It stands on the beach at Makadi Bay, south of Hurghada, with an infinity pool facing the Red Sea, a spa and a reef right off the beach that keeps snorkellers happy. Guests talk most about the peaceful, romantic mood and the staff, who are described as warm and attentive in every part of the hotel, and many come back year after year. The weak points are in the fabric of the building. Guests say the pool floors need retiling and some rooms feel dated, and non-smokers find there is a lot of smoking outdoors around the pools. Couples on a honeymoon, an anniversary or simply a quiet week by the sea will find a friendly, restful base; travellers who want everything brand new should look elsewhere.
Why this position
Guests on Booking rate it above #9 (9.3 to 9.1), but it has no Google rating yet, which the ranking weighs equally; #9 has 4.7.

Casa Cook El Gouna
Hurghada, Egypt
Private poolCasa Cook El Gouna is an adults-only hotel for travellers who want a slower pace and a strong sense of design… It sits by the Red Sea in El Gouna, with a private beach area, a kite centre and an outdoor pool, and the rooms range from junior suites around shared pools to villas with their own pool. Guests talk most about the staff, often by name, about the relaxed mood and about a breakfast that sets the tone for the day. The trade-offs are modest. The à la carte meals do not always match the breakfast, so many guests try El Gouna's restaurants in the evening. Abu Tig Marina is about 3 km away, which means a bike, car or taxi rather than a stroll, and only the villas have a private pool. Couples looking for a quiet, stylish base by the sea will feel at home; children cannot stay.
Why this position
Scores higher than #11 (9.3 to 9.1), on a smaller body of reviews (872 to 1,787).
Featured in our guide: 12 luxury adults-only hotels in Hurghada: the best in 2026
Sunrise Holidays Resort
Hurghada, Egypt
Sunrise Holidays Resort is an adults-only hotel for couples and friends who want a sociable beach holiday without children around… It sits on Sheraton Road in Hurghada, close to the town centre, with a private beach around a lagoon and a small island, a pool overlooking the Red Sea, several restaurants and a dive centre. Guests speak most warmly about the staff, often by name, and about the beach, the variety of food and an entertainment team that keeps the evenings lively. The drawbacks are practical rather than fundamental. A few rooms have had small faults that needed fixing, Wi-Fi is mainly a lobby affair, and the lagoon beach is sheltered rather than open coastline. The shows and parties are a plus for most guests but will not suit anyone after a hushed retreat. If you want a lively, well-run resort with the town within reach, this is a strong fit; children cannot stay.
Why this position
The largest body of guest feedback on this page: 3,696 reviews, averaging 9.2. Rests on more guest reviews than #12 (3,696 to 872), at a slightly lower score (9.2 to 9.3).
Featured in our guide: 12 luxury adults-only hotels in Hurghada: the best in 2026
La Maison Bleue El Gouna
Hurghada, Egypt
DesignLa Maison Bleue El Gouna is an adults-only hotel for couples who want a private house rather than a resort… Thirteen individually designed suites sit in a mansion on the Red Sea shore, filled with antiques and furniture from three centuries and shaped by Italian, Turkish, Syrian and North African architecture. Guests talk most about the service, which they describe as warm, discreet and quick to anticipate every wish, and about suites that are spacious, spotless and full of character. A swimming lagoon, a pool and a hammam keep the days unhurried. The drawbacks are mostly outside the walls. Construction around the property has disturbed some stays, and mosquitoes can appear in the evening. With one restaurant, the menu is short, so a longer stay may call for dinners elsewhere in El Gouna. Honeymooners and couples who value calm and craftsmanship will be very well looked after; children cannot stay.
Why this position
Scores higher than #13 (9.4 to 9.2), on a smaller body of reviews (113 to 3,696).
Featured in our guide: 12 luxury adults-only hotels in Hurghada: the best in 2026
Steigenberger Makadi
Hurghada, Egypt
Steigenberger Makadi is an adults-only hotel for guests aged 16 and over, and it works best for couples and golfers who want peace rather than a big resort… It sits within the 18-hole Makadi Golf Course at Makadi Bay, with rooms in earthy tones that open onto terraces overlooking the course, a spa with sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi, and an outdoor pool. Guests talk above all about the staff, often by name, and about clean, spacious rooms and a breakfast they look forward to. The main trade-off is the beach. It is about 1 km away and reached by shuttle bus, which several guests found less convenient than expected, and there is only one pool on site. Some rooms are due a refresh, and Wi-Fi is the weakest point. Golfers and couples who value calm and service will feel well looked after; children under 16 cannot stay.
Why this position
Rests on more guest reviews than #14 (414 to 113), at a slightly lower score (9.2 to 9.4).

The Grand Palace
Hurghada, Egypt
The Grand Palace is an adults-only hotel for guests aged 18 and over, aimed squarely at couples who want a beach resort without leaving Hurghada behind… It sits on Corniche Road with a private beach area on the Red Sea, an all-year pool and ten restaurants, and the airport is only 2 km away. Guests talk most about the staff, who are described as warm and attentive, and about the food, the cleanliness and the well-kept gardens; honeymooners in particular describe the stay as romantic and relaxed. The trade-offs are small but worth knowing. Smoking is common in the outdoor areas, a few guests noticed broken tiles and fittings that fall short of the resort's polish, and there is little in the way of sports or a full gym. Couples who plan to spend their days between the beach, the pool and the restaurants will find a well-run, sociable base; travellers after an active holiday may want more.
Why this position
Rests on more guest reviews than #15 (2,226 to 414), at a slightly lower score (9.0 to 9.2).

Cook's Club El Gouna
Hurghada, Egypt
Cook's Club El Gouna is an adults-only hotel for travellers who want a laid-back, sociable stay rather than a large resort… It sits on a saltwater lagoon in El Gouna, with a private beach area, a jetty and a pool that is effectively the hotel's living room, complete with DJs by day and pool parties on Friday nights. Guests speak most warmly about the staff, who are kind, attentive and often thanked by name, and about the central location, the clean, cosy rooms and the breakfast. The concept will not suit everyone. The beach area is on the lagoon rather than the open sea, and the music and parties make this a poor choice for anyone after real peace and quiet. A few guests also mention housekeeping that took a little time to get right. Couples and friends who like good company, a lively pool and El Gouna's centre within reach will feel at home.
Why this position
Sits behind #18 on both the score (9.3 to 9.6) and the sample it rests on (1,924 to 2,941 reviews).

Sahl Hasheesh
Best for Luxury beach holidaysLocated 20 kilometres south of Hurghada, this gated resort enclave is known for its sandy bay and paved promenade. It offers a quieter, more upscale atmosphere than the central town.
Makadi Bay
Best for Families and diversSituated further south, this tranquil bay is renowned for its coral reefs and self-contained resort complexes. It is a popular base for snorkelling and watersports away from the city centre.
Hurghada Promenade & North
Best for Shopping and diningThis coastal corridor includes the lively Al Mamsha promenade and the northern district of Al Ahyaa. It provides convenient access to local shops, restaurants, and central attractions.
Areas to consider
Visitors seeking a peaceful retreat may want to avoid central resort strips close to the airport, where noise levels and local traffic are considerably higher.

How we chose these hotels
At our latest review (August 2026) the properties listed above were measured against the same standard: sustained guest scores on both Booking.com and Google (weighted by how many reviews sit behind them), five-star class or an equivalent premium level, a genuinely first-rate location, and facilities that set the hotel apart.
As a guideline we look for around 8.5 or higher on Booking.com, but no single number decides on its own. When the sources disagree, the broader evidence wins. Guest scores on this page update continuously, and the selection is re-reviewed at regular intervals. The full standard is described in how we choose hotels.
