Soma Bay Holidays - secluded spot for snorkelling and windsurfing
Soma Bay is a quiet, relaxed resort, 60 km south of the large holiday centre of Hurghada on Egypt’s Red Sea coast. The hotels and restaurants at Soma Bay are situated on a picturesque peninsula, looking out on sandy beaches and the sparkling sea below. In the warm waters surrounding Soma Bay, and its resort neighbour Abu Soma, there are many top quality Red Sea dive sites, rich with colourful and rare marine species. Many holiday visitors to Soma Bay embark on deep sea fishing trips, or excursions in glass bottomed boats, in the hope of spotting the sharks, giant eels, manta rays and tuna that inhabit the Red Sea. Soma Bay is about 45 minutes away from Hurghada by car, and an hour from Hurghada Airport.
Soma Bay luxury holidays
Some of the world’s leading hotel chains have built luxury hotels at Soma Bay to accommodate European holiday-makers in search of relaxation and pristine diving sites. Winter holidays are popular as the Egyptian sun shines virtually all year round. For a family or couple hoping to take the plunge - diving, snorkelling or windsurfing - Soma Bay is an ideal base. Boat trips to the many local reefs and islands can be organised from the hotels here. There are several wrecks and more challenging reef dives to suit more experienced divers. Windsurfing is particularly popular at Soma Bay as the shallow waters of the beach in front of the main hotels are perfect for beginners to practice in. Soma Bay is a small, quiet resort, so for those looking for night-life the close proximity of party-town Hurghada is a real bonus. From Soma Bay, Hurghada also makes a good day trip, to avail of the towns many restaurants, shops, Red Sea museum and aquarium.
