The Mövenpick Resort Abu Soma is located directly on the shore of the Red Sea and has 424 spaciously laid out rooms and suites. Several swimming pools and water landscapes enrich the vast gardens leading directly to the sandy seaside beach.
With its main restaurant, a specialties restaurant, a fish restaurant and several bars, guests can select from a wide range of culinary offerings. Leisure facilities include a diving center, miniature golf course, tennis courts, and a wellness complex. The younger guests can gather in the Kids Club while conferences and banquets take place in a multi-purpose hall (500 sqm) or five seminar rooms.
“The Mövenpick Resort Abu Soma will enrich our portfolio of upscale holiday resorts. We look forward to soon being present at Abu Soma along with El Gouna, El Quseir, Taba, El Sokhna and Sharm El Sheikh. This new property will offer our guests an additional exciting option on the Red Sea,” explained Josef Kufer, Senior Vice President Africa Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts.
