Lagoon View 1BR Apartment in Waterside El Gouna

Lagoon View 1BR Apartment in Waterside El Gouna Overview

First Impressions

The Lagoon View 1BR Apartment in Waterside El Gouna sits right at the entrance to one of Egypt’s most thoughtfully planned resort towns, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better for getting your bearings. This three-star property gives you that perfect sweet spot — close enough to everything but far enough from the main tourist chaos. I mean, you’re literally at the gateway to El Gouna, which means you can explore the entire resort community without feeling like you’re stuck in the thick of it all.

The Space Itself

What really struck me about this apartment is how it actually feels like a proper home base rather than just another hotel room. The lagoon views are genuinely spectacular — and I’m not just saying that because it’s in the name. You wake up to these calm, turquoise waters that change color throughout the day, which is something you don’t really appreciate until you’re sipping your morning coffee there. The space is well-designed for couples (no surprise it gets such high marks from them), with enough room to spread out but cozy enough that it doesn’t feel empty.

Location & Getting Around

Being at the El Gouna entrance is actually genius if you think about it. You’ve got immediate access to the whole resort complex, but you’re also perfectly positioned if you want to venture into Hurghada proper — it’s about a 20-minute drive. The parking situation is refreshingly stress-free, which anyone who’s dealt with Egyptian resort logistics will tell you is worth its weight in gold. You know what I really appreciated? You can walk to the main marina area in about 15 minutes, or just grab one of the shuttle buses that run regularly.

What Makes It Special

The thing about El Gouna is that it’s this carefully planned community with Venetian-style canals and lagoons, and this apartment puts you right in the middle of that whole vibe. You’re not just staying somewhere — you’re actually living in this unique little ecosystem for a while. The waterside setting means you can watch the boats come and go, and there’s something really peaceful about falling asleep to the gentle lapping of water. Plus, the fact that it consistently gets perfect ratings tells you something about how well they maintain the place.

Why Guests Love It

Couples keep coming back here because it strikes that perfect balance between privacy and accessibility. You’re not isolated, but you’re not dealing with crowded hotel lobbies either. The lagoon views create this natural romantic backdrop without trying too hard, and the apartment setup means you can actually relax like normal people — make some coffee, sit on the balcony, plan your day without rushing. It’s the kind of place where you end up staying longer than planned because leaving feels like abandoning a little slice of paradise you’ve temporarily called home.
