Intercontinental Abu Soma Hotel


On the shores of the Red Sea, where dazzling blue waters lap pristine white sands, lies the five star Intercontinental Abu Soma hotel, just a 40 minute transfer from Hurghada airport. Offering a vast array of activities on, off and below water, it's a superb Egyptian holiday destination.

The 5-star hotel Intercontinental Abu Soma is in a prime beachfront location and is set amongst attractive gardens. All the luxury accommodation is air-conditioned, luxuriously appointed and has balconies with stunning sea views. See full accommodation break down below.

With 4 restaurants to choose from, there's plenty on the menu at Abu Soma. Dining is on a half board basis with breakfast and dinner served in the main restaurant (which is included in your holiday price). The resort also has 3 speciality restaurants - a Greek, Italian or Lebanese. A lunch buffet is served daily in the main restaurant. If you choose to dine in one of the speciality restaurants, a dinner allowance will be applied to your bill.

Watersports

Where to start? The consistent cross-shore breezes and flat water at Abu Soma make this beach resort world class for watersports. We offer windsurfing, sailing and kitesurfing tuition to all levels and provide a wide selection of dinghies and windsurfers. Waterskiing and wakeboarding are available on a pay as you ski basis, and there is a PADI scuba dive centre in the resort (courses pre-bookable in the UK).
