The hype
Guests love the modern design and friendly staff (especially Ebrahim at reception), but food quality is inconsistent.
White Hills Resort
$160-300/ night
Book this if You want a futuristic, Instagram-ready resort that's walking distance to Soho Square and has excellent snorkeling right off the pier.
Why People Love It
- Striking 'all-white' futuristic architecture that looks amazing in photos
- Walking distance (10-15 mins) to Soho Square's nightlife and shopping
- Ras Nasrani location offers some of the best accessible house reef snorkeling in Sharm
Quick Take: It looks like a spaceship landed in Egypt, but the 'luxury' finishing is sometimes skin-deep and current pool renovations are a noise hazard.
Reviewed by @bleetary_travels: I stayed at White Hills and it was a visual dream. The stark white design against the blue sea is stunning, and the Posh Club service made me feel like royalty. Waking up to that modern suite and heading straight to the infinity pool was the perfect reset.

- You prioritize modern, bright aesthetics over traditional Egyptian resort decor
- You want to snorkel daily without taking a boat trip
- You like being close to the airport (10-minute transfer)

- Download the hotel app immediately upon arrival to book a la carte restaurants—they fill up fast.
What to pack
- Snorkel gear (the house reef is the highlight)
- Aqua shoes (rocky entry if not using the jetty)
- Mosquito repellent (recent reports of mosquitos in rooms)

FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the main pools are heated in winter, but the Insula pool is currently closed for renovation.
Is it adults-only?
No, it is family-friendly, but there are specific adults-only zones (pool and bar) and the 'Posh Club' offers a more secluded vibe.
How is the Wifi?
Generally reliable and free throughout the resort, though speed can drop during peak evening hours.
Can I walk to Soho Square?
Yes, it's a safe 10-15 minute walk. Great for an evening stroll to escape the hotel bubble.
What is the 'Posh Club'?
It's Sunrise's VIP concept with a private lounge, pool, butler service, and separate check-in. Reviews are mixed on whether it justifies the cost.
Is the food good?
Hit or miss. The 6 a la carte options (especially Asian and Indian) are better than the main buffet, which can feel repetitive.
