Bianchi Illios: A Stunning Seaside Sanctuary on Egypt's North Coast

Step outside of commercial beach culture and ride the waves of the simply serene Sahel summers your aunties keep preaching about.

A community for like-minded individuals, Bianchi Ilios as well as Ilios Beach by Developer X is your gateway into another universe. A portal back into the land of Alexandrian summers and sesame Frescas by the beach as the hideout serves as the ancestral teta’s fino sandwiches nostalgia we all know and love.

This is not the Sahel dipped in glitz and glamour that can perhaps feel overwhelming to some. Bianchi Ilios is built on simplicity and the promise of a social escape where you can wholeheartedly be yourself. Their hassle-free brand philosophy means that no time is being wasted planning decadent evenings, and in turn, leaves you with more time - amidst your fleeting Eid getaway - to ‘balbat’ your woes away.

Hidden deep within Sidi Abdel Rahman’s crystalline beaches, Bianchi Ilios serves as host to many ongoing activities including, but not limited to, Surf Camp Egypt for that baywatch moment and West Wings, when the baywatch moment proves to be a little rough, as well as Johnny’s Catering services that are open from ten in the morning to eleven-thirty at night.

If gym lads and basketball shorts have been deterring you from finally plunging into wellness’s open waters then a sandy run or two by Ilios beach might actually enable you to unwind and come into your own. The cocoon-like infrastructure ensures there’s only family-friendly fun and a dose of mama and baba’s insistence on beach selfies with the cotton candy you guys just bought, but in all honesty, the instagrammable setting will eventually make you cave into the incessant selfie-taking (sticky hands and all).
