02Overview
A first look
El Gouna was built around water: lagoons, channels and marinas, with the Red Sea beyond. The Golf Area is the part of town where this hotel sits, and it feels quite different from the busier streets of central Hurghada. Days here can be as slow or as active as you like, with a pool, garden and rooftop terrace on the property and a golf course close by.
Once you ask us to book, our team checks which room category, meal basis and golf terms apply to your dates, so you know what the rate covers before you pay. We can also look into the hotel's airport shuttle and any other transfer you would like.
Background
The facts
Steigenberger Golf Resort El Gouna is a five-star hotel in the Golf Area of El Gouna, a purpose-built resort town on Egypt's Red Sea coast. An 18-hole golf course lies beside it, though playing is arranged separately from the room.
El Gouna sits north of Hurghada and is known for its lagoons and marinas. The hotel's listed facilities include a pool, spa, gym, garden, rooftop terrace, restaurant, bar, room service and beach access, along with an airport shuttle to ask about.
This is a modern resort town rather than an ancient site, and it has no World Heritage status.
Room category, meal basis, check-in and check-out times and golf terms all depend on your rate and dates. We confirm them for you before booking, so please do not assume that breakfast or golf is part of every price.

Field notes
From our Egyptologists
- 01
Ask if your rate includes golf; a course next door does not mean it is free to play.
- 02
Check what meals your dates include rather than assuming breakfast or dinner is covered.
- 03
Say if you want a garden outlook or a balcony and we will ask which rooms offer them.
- 04
Ask us to confirm check-in and check-out times as part of your reservation.

Tailor it
Make it yours
We handle the room booking, and meals or golf may depend on the rate. Tell us what you want and we will check the room, board and course arrangements for your dates.
Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
Works well as the seaside leg of a longer Egypt holiday, either before or after Cairo and the Nile. Compared with a hotel in central Hurghada, you are among the lagoons and marinas of El Gouna.
Accessibility
Who can join this
The resort has gardens, a golf course and lagoons nearby, so getting from the room to the restaurant, pool or spa can mean outdoor walking. Paths may have steps, slopes or uneven paving. Before booking, ask the hotel about lifts, ground-floor rooms, bathroom layout and the distances between facilities. Access around the golf course and lagoons may differ from the hotel itself, so do not assume every area is step-free. Tell us what you need and we will put your questions to the property.
Before you go
What to pack & wear
Children & families
Family rooms are listed, but age limits, rates for children and extra beds vary by room and rate. Give us the children's ages and your dates and we will ask the hotel. Check too what child-friendly services the resort offers. A pushchair works on smooth paths, but steps and long distances across the grounds can make it awkward, and cots or high chairs should be requested ahead.
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.
Location
The setting
The hotel's address is Golf Area, El Gouna, which puts it in the golf district of this Red Sea resort town. We have no verified distances from the property to the marina, the beach or the airport, so please ask before you book if any of these matter. Our team can find out the travel times for your dates and suggest how to get around.

Asked & answered
Frequent questions
01How many nights can I book at Steigenberger Golf Resort El Gouna?
The listing itself does not fix a length of stay. Tell us your arrival and departure dates and we will ask the hotel what is available, since the number of nights and the rate plan both depend on what is free on those days.02What is the best way to reach the resort from the airport?
The hotel is in El Gouna's Golf Area, north of Hurghada on the Red Sea coast. An airport shuttle appears among its listed facilities, but whether it runs for your flight, and on what terms, needs checking. Ask us and we will confirm it, or arrange a private transfer instead.03What does the room rate cover?
That depends on the rate you pick. Breakfast, other meals, Wi-Fi and use of the spa or gym may or may not be part of it. Egypt Discovery books hotels on request, and we will check the meal basis and facilities against your chosen rate before you pay.04What might cost extra during my stay?
Golf is the main one to ask about, as being beside the course does not mean it is included. Spa treatments, transfers and some meals may also be charged separately, depending on the rate. The final booking terms list exactly what is and is not covered.05Can I get around easily if I have limited mobility?
It depends on the room and the route. The resort spreads across gardens and outdoor walkways, so ask about ground-floor rooms, lifts, bathroom layout and the distances between your room, the restaurant and the pool. Send us your needs and we will put them to the hotel.06Is this a good hotel for a family holiday?
Family rooms appear on the facilities list, so it is worth asking. Room occupancy, extra beds and any rates for children depend on the room and the dates, so give us the children's ages and we will check for you.07What should I pack for El Gouna?
Sun cream, a hat, sunglasses and light clothes, plus swimwear for the pool and beach. A wrap or shirt is handy for indoor areas such as the restaurant. Nothing special is needed for the hotel itself, but cover up more when you head into the wider community.08May I take photographs around the hotel?
Photos for your own memories are normally fine, but be mindful of other guests and staff. Ask at reception before photographing people or any area that looks restricted. If you are bringing professional equipment, agree it with the hotel first.09When is the most comfortable time to visit?
El Gouna sits on Egypt's Red Sea coast, where the sun is strong for much of the year, so pick your dates with that in mind. Check the forecast shortly before you travel, and note that rates and availability change by season.10Does staying next to the golf course mean I can play?
Not automatically. Access, tee times and charges are separate from the room, so tell us if golf matters and we will check the terms for your dates before the booking is made.
