Sharm El Sheikh is one of the most attractive cities to visit in Egypt, offering a wide range of water-based activities and ways to disconnect from the stresses of daily life. The spa at the Barceló Tiran Sharm hotel is one of the best places to soothe your body and soul while harnessing the peace and quiet of the sea.
An introduction to the Barceló Tiran Sharm hotel
The Barceló Tiran Sharm is a luxury hotel located 20 kilometres north of Sharm El Sheikh, offering stunning views of the Gulf of Aqaba and Tiran Island, from which its name derives.
The complex is located within the Nabq Nature Reserve, a protected area known for its diverse flora and fauna. In fact, it is home to several ecosystems, including mountainous terrain with vast sand dunes and a fascinating mangrove area.
This 80,000-square meter hotel is located in front of a vast private beach that stretches over a kilometre in length. Here, the hotel’s guests can swim in crystal-clear waters that are teeming with marine life and vibrant coral reefs.
The Barceló Tiran Sharm hotel features 345 rooms, including double rooms, suites and family-sized rooms. All rooms come with a balcony, allowing guests to enjoy views of the sea or the hotel’s gardens.
By opting for the ‘All Inclusive’ option, guests can make the most of the delicious food served at the hotel’s seven bars and restaurants.
The hotel’s facilities
The Barceló Tiran Sharm boasts some of the finest facilities in the area, giving guests the opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable holiday on the Red Sea. Its diverse culinary offering is particularly impressive, with everything from international dishes to traditional Egyptian cuisine. The hotel’s guests are able to choose between two themed restaurants: one which serves typical Mediterranean cuisine, while the other specialises in locally-caught seafood. The hotel also boasts a buffet-style restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as four bars scattered at strategic points around the hotel. Two of these bars are by the beach and the pool, allowing guests to enjoy a refreshing drink and tasty snack between meals.
In addition to its spa and beauty salon, the hotel boasts several sports facilities—including tennis courts—as well as a diving centre that organises excursions in the nearby bay.
The hotel’s Kiddy’s Club and children’s pool will also allow younger guests to have a memorable holiday.
