About Kempinski Hotel Soma Bay
Kempinski Hotel Soma Bay is a luxury beach resort on the Soma Bay peninsula, south of Hurghada and close to Safaga. It has 325 rooms and suites set around lagoon-style pools and gardens, facing a 400-meter private sandy beach.
What sets it apart is its setting for active guests: a house reef reached by a jetty, a kite house on the beach and the Cascades championship golf course a few minutes away. It suits couples, golfers, kitesurfers and divers who want a quieter base away from the city.
