Location

Perfectly located.

Somabay occupies its own peninsula on Egypt's Red Sea coast — a gated resort community of roughly ten million square metres, with more than eleven kilometres of private shoreline.

Getting here

Close enough to use, far enough to matter

The water

Reef, not just beach

The Red Sea off Somabay is unusually calm and unusually clear. The reef is the reason the project is called Coral Coves, and it is close enough to swim to.

The Shoreline

Reef, not just beach

The Red Sea off Somabay is unusually calm and unusually clear, with living coral close enough to the shore to reach without a boat. It is the reason the reef runs through every part of the Coral Coves identity — the name, the colour, the architecture.
