Rixos Hotels has opened its first hotel in Egypt in the region's premier beach destination, Sharm El Sheikh. Rixos Sharm El Sheikh comprises 695 rooms and suites, 10 of which have private plunge pools offering views of the Red Sea.
Covering a floor space of 1,100sq m (11,840sq ft) Rixos Royal Spa is spread over two levels.
The upper floor has 10 treatment rooms providing a range of massages and beauty sessions. The lower floor offers Turkish baths, a streamroom, two saunas, a resting area and a vitamin bar.
The resort also offers a fully equipped fitness centre along with two tennis courts, beach volleyball, football and basketball courts.
Other facilities include a large conference hall as well as two dining rooms, six a la carte restaurants and five bars.
The resort is located in the heart of Sharm El Sheikh with a view of the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba and the Tiran Island, on the beach in Nabq Bay, 22 km from Naama Bay.
Rixos Sharm El Sheikh is the 15th hotel in the company's portfolio.
Rixos Hotels, the Turkish hospitality group, was established in 2000 and currently owns and operates 15 premium resorts and villas including five city hotels in Turkey, south east Europe, CIS Countries, North Africa and now the Middle East.
The group is planning to continue its expansion with particular focus on eastern and central Europe, the Mediterranean coasts, north Africa and the Arabian Gulf region.
