Tawila Island Resort

Hurghada, Egypt
$500-1200/ noć

Rezervirajte ovaj smeštaj ako You want the Maldives experience without the 12-hour flight—complete with overwater bungalows and total isolation.

Zašto Ljudima Sviđa

  • Legitimate overwater bungalows with private pools
  • Insane Red Sea water clarity right off your deck
  • Zero crowds—it's a private island with only ~30 units

Brzi pregled: The closest thing to the Maldives in Egypt, but bring your wallet because the 'soft all-inclusive' leaves plenty of room for upcharges.

Pregledano od @Tifany: I came here needing a reset and wow, did this place deliver. My villa felt like a private island. Waking up to that endless turquoise water and having my own massive pool was exactly the healing energy I needed. It’s not just a hotel; it’s a total escape.

The hype

Reviewers are universally blown away by the location and water color, often calling it 'heaven on earth' or 'better than the Maldives'.

Reality check

Guests hate the rigid boat schedule and feel nickel-and-dimed by extra charges for things like the seafood display or premium mini-bar items.

  • You are on a honeymoon or romantic escape
  • You want to wake up and jump directly into the sea
  • You value silence and privacy over activities

Čistoća i održavanje

9.7
  • Housekeeping: Immaculate. Twice-daily service including turndown is standard.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Spotless. Grout is white, glass is streak-free. No mold reports found.
  • Maintenance: Brand new condition. Everything works, though sea air takes a toll on outdoor wood over time.
  • Linens & towels: High thread count, crisp white, and plentiful.
  • Odors & scents: Smells like fresh sea air and expensive spa products.

Pre nego što rezervirate

Korisno znati

  • The boat transfer takes 60-90 minutes depending on sea conditions.
  • There are no shops on the island besides the hotel boutique—bring everything you need.
  • WiFi is surprisingly good (25+ Mbps) for a remote island.

Šta pakovati

  • Reef-safe sunscreen (you will be in the water all day)
  • Snorkel gear (the house reef is decent, though the best spots require a boat trip)
  • Duty-free alcohol if you want to avoid high bar tabs (check current corkage policy)

Genie za sobe

Najbolji izbor

  • Water Bungalow: For the full 'Maldives' experience with direct ladder access to the sea.
  • Beach Bungalow: Better if you prefer walking out onto white sand rather than jumping into deep water.

Sobe koje treba izbegavati

  • Bungalows near the main restaurant/jetty if you want absolute privacy from passing buggies.

Česta pitanja i skriveni saveti

Sve što zaista trebate da znate pre nego što rezervirate.

Is alcohol included?

No. The standard package is 'Soft All-Inclusive' (meals + soft drinks). Alcohol is available at the Reeds rooftop and Beach Bar but is charged separately.

How do I get there?

You must take the hotel's boat from Marina Abydos in El Gouna. It leaves once daily at 11:00 AM. Return boat is at 1:30 PM.

Is there a house reef?

Yes, there is a small coral reef accessible from the beach, but the main appeal is the shallow, crystal-clear swimming water.

Can I bring my kids?

Yes, there is a Kids' Club and children's pool, but the vibe is heavily skewed toward couples and quiet relaxation.

Is the pool heated?

Yes, the private pools in the bungalows are generally temperature-controlled, a huge plus in winter months.

Are there mosquitoes?

Surprisingly few complaints, but being an island, it's wise to bring repellent for the evenings just in case.

Insajderski saveti

  • ✨

    Book the 'Water Bungalow Suite' if you want a separate living room; standard Water Bungalows are studio-style.

  • ✨

    The 'Seafood Night' display often incurs an extra charge not mentioned in the main brochure—ask the price first.

  • ✨

    If you miss the 11 AM boat, do not panic—call the hotel immediately, but be prepared to pay the $300 private transfer fee.

5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što krenete

  • 💡The 'Maldives' comparison is real visually, but service can sometimes be 'island slow'.

  • 💡You are captive to the hotel's food pricing if you want anything outside the buffet hours.

  • 💡The water under the bungalows can be shallow at low tide—check the tide charts if you plan to dive in.

  • 💡The playlist in the restaurant loops the same songs every day.

  • 💡It is technically an eco-resort, so expect some limitations on single-use plastics.
