02Overview
A first look
Water runs through El Gouna in narrow lagoons, and the resort town grows up around them in low blocks rather than towers. Mövenpick Resort & Spa El Gouna belongs to that quiet pattern. Arrive, settle into the room you have chosen and let the Red Sea set the tone.
Many guests treat the hotel as a place to rest between days out in the town and along the coast. What the room, the restaurants and the spa offer depends on your rate, so we ask the hotel to confirm each point for your dates before you pay. The booking is made through Egypt Discovery; the hotel team runs the property.
Background
The facts
Mövenpick Resort & Spa El Gouna is a five-star hotel in El Gouna, a resort town on the Red Sea coast of Egypt. Egypt Discovery books it on request, and the hotel’s own team runs the property.
The town is a web of lagoons and low resort districts. The resort gives a base here, with the wider coast within reach, and a different feel from the large city of Hurghada.
Room types, board bases and services vary by rate and date. Ask us to confirm the details for your stay before you pay.

Where you'll eat
No restaurant or bar names, cuisines or opening times are given in our information, and nor is the meal plan. Ask us which of the hotel’s venues will be open on your dates and whether the rate takes in breakfast or more. If rates are marked room only, bed and breakfast, half board or all-inclusive, look at what meals and drinks each one covers, because terms differ.

Tailor it
Make it yours
We book rooms and can request a preferred category, view or board basis where available. Ask about adding airport transfers or trips around El Gouna, and check the rate details for your dates.
Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
El Gouna works as a Red Sea stop before or after Cairo or Luxor, and feels quite unlike the bigger city of Hurghada.
Accessibility
Who can join this
Access inside the resort depends on the room and the route you take. We hold no confirmed details on step-free paths, lifts, adapted rooms or bathroom layouts, so ask the hotel about each before you reserve. Tell us what you need and we make the enquiry for the room you have in mind.
Before you go
What to pack & wear

Age limits, children’s rates and cots differ by room and date, so we check with the hotel on your behalf. Say how many children are travelling, and how old they are, when you ask for room options.
These fares are a guide, as prices and rooms move through the year. Do ask us and we will confirm the fare for the days you have in mind.

Asked & answered
Frequent questions
01For how many nights can I book?
As many as the hotel has rooms for. Give us your arrival and departure dates and we check what is free, along with check-in and check-out times. A longer stay can be worth it, since there is plenty of the town and coast to see.02What does the room rate include?
It depends on the rate and the board basis. Breakfast, spa use and the pool are not the same on every rate, so we ask the hotel and send you the answer before you book. The hotel runs its own rooms and facilities.03What is not covered by the room price?
Extras such as spa treatments, drinks outside your meal plan and transfers may cost more. We confirm what is and is not in the rate for your dates and flag any charge paid at the hotel.04Can the resort welcome a guest with limited mobility?
Details such as step-free paths, lift access and bathroom design are not in our information. Tell us what you need and we put the questions to the hotel and report back before you confirm.05Is this a good hotel for a family?
It could be, though we have no list of children’s facilities. The room descriptions give a limit of three or four people, depending on type. Let us know the number and ages in your party, and we check room layout, cots and children’s services for you.06What should I put in my suitcase?
Summer clothes, swimwear, a hat and sunscreen cover most of the year by the Red Sea, plus a light layer for the evenings and for air conditioning. Take something to cover your shoulders and knees if you plan to visit a mosque or a local community.07Is photography allowed?
Mostly, but the hotel sets its own rules for public areas and for pictures that show other guests or staff. Ask before pointing a camera at anyone. Check signs near the spa, pools and any private area.08Which months suit El Gouna best?
Winter and the shoulder seasons are gentler on the coast than high summer, when the heat is serious. School holidays and major festivals can push demand up, so ask us early if your dates are fixed.09How does El Gouna compare with staying in Hurghada?
El Gouna is built round lagoons, with low resort districts, so it feels calmer and more spread out. Hurghada is the larger city, with more traffic and more choice of things nearby. The two are close, so you can mix them.
