Lovely 1 Bedroom at Sholan El Gouna

Lovely 1 Bedroom at Sholan El Gouna Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Lovely 1 Bedroom at Sholan El Gouna, I’ll be honest — the name pretty much says it all. This three-star property doesn’t try to be something it’s not, and that’s actually refreshing. It’s tucked away in the Sholan area of El Gouna, which feels more residential and peaceful compared to the busier marina district. The building itself has that modern Egyptian resort architecture you see throughout El Gouna, with clean lines and earthy tones that blend nicely with the desert landscape.

The Space and Setup

The apartment layout works really well for couples — which makes sense since that’s exactly who tends to love this place most. You’ve got a proper bedroom that’s separate from the living area, plus a functional kitchen with everything you need for simple meals. I mean, you’re not going to be hosting dinner parties, but making breakfast or keeping drinks cold? Absolutely. The living space opens up nicely and doesn’t feel cramped, even though it’s clearly designed to maximize the square footage efficiently.

Location and Getting Around

Being on El Gouna 1 Road puts you in a sweet spot, honestly. You’re close enough to walk to the main attractions — the marina, beaches, and restaurant scene — but far enough away that you’re not dealing with the crowds and noise every minute. The free private parking on site is actually a bigger deal than you might think, especially if you’re planning to rent a car and explore beyond El Gouna. Hurghada is about 25 minutes away, and having guaranteed parking when you get back is one less thing to worry about.

The El Gouna Experience

What I really appreciate about staying here is how it puts you right in the middle of El Gouna’s unique vibe. This isn’t your typical Red Sea resort town — it’s more like someone took Venice and dropped it in the Egyptian desert, with all these lagoons and bridges connecting different neighborhoods. From the apartment, you can easily walk to Abu Tig Marina for dinner, or catch one of the shuttle buses that run around town. The beach clubs are all within reach, and you know what? Sometimes it’s nice to come back to a quiet room instead of a hotel lobby full of tour groups.

Why Guests Love It

The 7.2 rating tells the real story here — this place delivers exactly what it promises without any surprises. Couples keep coming back because it gives them space to actually relax together, whether that’s cooking a simple meal, lounging in the living area, or just having somewhere peaceful to retreat after a day of diving or exploring. It’s not fancy, but it’s comfortable and well-located, which honestly matters more than marble bathrooms when you’re spending most of your time enjoying everything El Gouna has to offer. The fact that you can park right there and treat it like your own little base camp? That’s the kind of practical comfort that makes a vacation actually feel like a vacation.

Exploring Hurghada blends coral gardens, Bedouin desert banquets, and palm-lined promenades glowing with Red Sea sunsets.
