Have a Sweet Summer in El Gouna With These Special Staycation Packages

With the approach of summer, it’s time to embrace the sunshine with a fabulous staycation in one of Egypt's brightest seaside hotspots: El Gouna! The Red Sea town is inviting everyone to come on over for a sweet summer by their glittering shores and they're offering three special packages to make the notion all the more tantalising.

First off we have their Family Staycation package at the five-star Ancient Sands Golf Resort, offering a refuge from the concrete jungle that is Cairo with five swimming pools (including a picturesque infinity pool!) and two popular restaurants, Dune and Piazza. The Family Staycation package allows a family of four to book for four nights on a bed and breakfast basis, and includes full-day access to Club Paradiso Beach with F&B credit of EGP 500, and an additional EGP 500 credit for water rides. You'll also get your choice of either an intro golf course on El Gouna's world-class championship course, or a 30-minute massage for two at Club Paradisio Spa.

Don't have kids? The wild and young at heart have their space here as well with the Gen Z Party Haven package, allowing you to book a 2-night weekend at Cook's Club with free access to the weekly Thursday night party (two cocktails on the house!), a healthy morning drink the next day, and a 10% discount on Cook's Club Boat Party where their resident DJ is on deck to help you groove all along the Red Sea's crystal blue waters. Finally we have the Getaway Weekday package at several participating hotels, including the two aforementioned destinations as well as Turtle's Inn, Mosaique Hotel, Fanadir Hotel and Captain's Inn. With this package you can book for three or more nights between Saturday and Wednesday, and get a dining credit of EGP 750 at either Tandoor or Marina Steakhouse.

You can book these spots by calling 16444, which will also get you a myriad of benefits including payment through instalments with valU. And if you book directly through hotels.elgouna.com, you can enjoy discounts of up to 30%. Offers are valid through to September. As they say, "You'll never want to leave."
