1BR with private Heated Jacuzzi at Sholan Elgouna

1BR with private Heated Jacuzzi at Sholan Elgouna Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to 1BR with private Heated Jacuzzi at Sholan Elgouna, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name alone. But you know what? Sometimes the best places are the ones that surprise you. This three-star property sits right at the El Gouna entrance, which means you’re literally the first stop into this stunning Red Sea resort town. The building itself has that relaxed Egyptian coastal vibe — nothing too flashy, but clean and welcoming in a way that immediately puts you at ease.

Location & Getting Around

El Gouna is basically Egypt’s answer to a purpose-built resort town, and being positioned right at the entrance is actually pretty smart. You’re close enough to Hurghada (about 25 minutes) for day trips or airport runs, but far enough into El Gouna to feel like you’re somewhere special. The free parking on site is a real bonus — I mean, you don’t always get that guarantee in resort areas. From here, you can easily explore the lagoons, hit the marina, or just wander the colorful streets without feeling like you’re stuck in the middle of nowhere.

The Accommodation

The one-bedroom setup works really well for couples — and honestly, the feedback about this being perfect for romantic getaways makes total sense once you see the space. The room itself is comfortable without being over-the-top, but let’s be real, the star of the show is that private heated jacuzzi. Having your own little oasis where you can soak under the stars after a day of exploring the Red Sea? That’s the kind of detail that turns a good trip into a memorable one. The heating element means you can actually enjoy it year-round, which is thoughtful since desert nights can get surprisingly cool.

The El Gouna Experience

What I love about staying here is how it puts you right in the heart of El Gouna’s unique atmosphere. This isn’t your typical Egyptian resort experience — El Gouna has this almost Mediterranean feel with its lagoons and colorful architecture. You’re walking distance from the town center, where there’s a decent selection of restaurants and cafes, plus the marina area is perfect for evening strolls. The whole town is designed to be pedestrian-friendly, so you can actually leave the car parked and just explore on foot or by golf cart.

Why Guests Love It

The 10-rating speaks for itself, but I think what really works here is the combination of privacy and accessibility. You get that intimate, couples-focused experience with the jacuzzi and well-designed space, but you’re not isolated from everything El Gouna has to offer. It’s the kind of place where you can have a quiet morning coffee, spend the day exploring or diving in the Red Sea, then come back for a private evening soak. The fact that couples consistently rate this place so highly tells you everything — it hits that sweet spot between romantic retreat and practical base for exploring the area.
