Location and surroundings
Kafr El Gouna is the heart of the resort, with shops, cafés and restaurants. Depending on your room, the centre is a walk or a short ride away; for Abu Tig Marina take a tuk-tuk or shuttle. To get your bearings: where to stay in El Gouna and El Gouna restaurants and nightlife. Sources put the drive from Hurghada airport at roughly 25 to 40 minutes.
Kitesurfing: what the hotel is not
We found nothing saying the hotel runs a kite school. To learn, see the schools in El Gouna kitesurf school guide; a starter option is a 3-hour kitesurf introduction.
Who it suits, who it doesn't
- Suits: couples and quiet travellers who like a small lagoon-side house.
- Less suited: guests who want a sea beach at the door, or families expecting a big entertainment programme. Price and board depend on the rate: check Booking.
