THE V Luxury Resort Sahl Hasheesh

THE V Luxury Resort Sahl Hasheesh Overview

First Impressions

Walking into THE V Luxury Resort Sahl Hasheesh, you immediately understand why this five-star property has earned such high marks from guests. The lobby feels genuinely opulent without being stuffy — think modern Egyptian elegance with soaring ceilings and marble that actually stays cool underfoot, which you’ll appreciate after stepping in from the desert heat. I mean, the attention to detail here is something else, from the handcrafted lighting fixtures to the way staff remember your name after just one interaction.

Location & Setting

Sahl Hasheesh itself is honestly one of the Red Sea’s best-kept secrets, and this resort sits right in the sweet spot of the development. You’re about 20 minutes south of Hurghada proper, which means you get the luxury of space and pristine beaches without feeling completely cut off from civilization. The resort’s beachfront stretches for what feels like forever, and the coral reefs here are actually healthier than what you’ll find closer to the main tourist strips — something the dive instructors will tell you with genuine pride.

Accommodations & Amenities

Each room feels more like a private retreat than a hotel accommodation, with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame either the Red Sea or the resort’s meticulously maintained gardens. The marble bathrooms are ridiculously spacious (you could practically do yoga in there), and the balconies come with daybeds that I found myself using way more than expected. The spa complex deserves special mention — it’s built into terraced levels that cascade toward the water, creating this almost amphitheater-like setting for relaxation. Many suites also feature a kitchenette for guests who prefer preparing light meals or snacks in their private space.

Dining & Social Spaces

The main restaurant operates with an open-kitchen concept that lets you watch the chefs work their magic, and honestly, the seafood here rivals anything you’ll find in Cairo’s top establishments. What surprised me was how well they’ve balanced international cuisine with authentic Egyptian flavors — the mezze selection alone could keep you busy for days. The poolside bar becomes the social heart of the resort around sunset, when the mountains behind Hurghada turn this incredible shade of purple and everyone seems to naturally gather with drinks in hand.

Why Guests Love It

There’s something about this place that just works, especially for couples looking for that perfect balance of activity and relaxation. The staff genuinely seems to enjoy working here, which creates this infectious positive energy throughout the property. You can spend your morning diving the house reef, grab lunch by the infinity pool, then end up at the beach bar watching traditional Nubian dancers perform as the stars come out. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself extending your stay if you can swing it — and trust me, plenty of guests do exactly that.
