A four-star Red Sea resort with its own beach access, set 17 km up the coast from the town of Marsa Alam.
The short answer
A hotel stay on the coast 17 km north of Marsa Alam town, booked through Egypt Discovery.
Snapshot
02Overview
North of Marsa Alam the coast opens out into long bays, with desert rising behind. Brayka Bay Resort sits 17 km from the town, so a day here is more about the beach, the pool and the garden than about strolling to the shops. When you do fancy a change, a drive into Marsa Alam is easy enough to organise.
Because the resort is out of town, we plan the practical side with you. Tell us your dates and we will check the room, the meal basis and how you will travel between the airport, the hotel and Marsa Alam.
Background
Brayka Bay Resort is a four-star hotel in the Marsa Alam region of Egypt's Red Sea coast, 17 km north of Marsa Alam town and outside the town centre.
Its facilities list includes beach access, a pool, a spa, a garden, a restaurant, a bar, a business centre and parking. The 17 km is a useful guide for anyone planning trips into Marsa Alam, so settle your transport before you travel.
Marsa Alam is a coastal settlement on the Red Sea shore. We know of no archaeological sites or World Heritage properties right beside the resort.
This is a hotel stay, not a sightseeing attraction. Room types, meal basis, check-in and check-out times and transport all vary, so we confirm them for your dates.

Highlights
Things to Consider

Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
Fits well as the beach part of a Marsa Alam holiday, combined with days in town or at nearby coastal sights. As it is 17 km north of town, arrange separate transport for trips in.
Accessibility
The resort stands on the Red Sea coast, about 17 km north of Marsa Alam town. We cannot tell you about step-free routes, adapted rooms, lifts or wheelchair facilities, so please ask the hotel before booking. Grounds like these often involve long walks outdoors, uneven paths, sand and steps between rooms, restaurants, pools and the beach, and sand can be hard going for wheelchairs and walkers. Ask about the route from reception to your room and to the places you will use. We will pass your questions on to the property.
Before you go
Check minimum ages, child room rates and any age-based meal charges with the resort for your dates. Ask whether your chosen room takes children, and whether a cot or extra bed can be added. Pushchairs can be hard to manage on sand, uneven paths and steps. High chairs may depend on the restaurant and the time of day, so request one before you arrive.
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 address is 17 km north of Marsa Alam town, in the Marsa Alam area. As it is outside the town, getting in for shopping or a meal means arranging a lift. Beach View rooms look onto the beach and sea, while the other room types listed face the garden. We do not hold verified details of landmarks close by or of the distance to the airport, so ask us to look into those and into transport before you book.

– Responsible travel

We hold no verified facts about its use of energy or water, its waste handling, any environmental certificates or community schemes, so we make no claims on them. Any transfer goes by road, and it is worth asking whether the vehicle is shared or private. Eating at local restaurants and hiring local guides and boat operators in the Marsa Alam area keeps money in the community. Ask the resort what it does to protect the reef.

Marsa AlamBlue Reef Marsa Alam is a four-star hotel in the Marsa Alam area of Egypt, 20 kilometres north of Marsa Alam City. That distance is the one fixed point we have, and it means you are staying outside the town and not in its centre. Before you book, find out which meal plan applies, what the rooms offer and how you will get to and from the hotel. Egypt Discovery, the UK brand of a licensed Egyptian tour operator, can help with travel on the ground.
Marsa AlamFive stars, a Pickalbatros name and an address simply given as Port Ghalib Marsa Alam: that is what we know about Pickalbatros Sands Port Ghalib. Port Ghalib is a resort town on the southern Red Sea coast of Egypt. Room type, board basis, facilities and transport are not described in the listing, so we check each one with you for your dates. Egypt Discovery books the hotel on request and can arrange extras on the ground if you ask, though a stay and a trip out are separate things.

Marsa AlamAmarina Jannah Resort & Aqua Park is a four-star-listed hotel on the Al Quseir–Marsa Alam road in the Red Sea Governorate. Its address puts it just 2 km from Marsa Alam Airport, which is handy if a short transfer matters to you. The hotel is linked with the Marsa Alam region, though the postal address is in El Quseir. The name mentions an aqua park, so ask whether it can be used and when it is open on your dates before you book. Room types, meal plans, airport transfers and other services depend on the reservation you choose, and Egypt Discovery can check them with you first.
