Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh

Traditional Middle Eastern Hillside Towns Inspired Luxury Resort Design Sharm El Sheikh is a five-star luxury resort in the vernacular of traditional hillside towns of the Mediterranean and Middle East with dramatic views of the Red Sea. Forms and details reminiscent of the hillside towns of Northern Africa inspired the design. The hotel villas are integrated into the steep slopes of the Sinai Peninsula to evoke an ancient hillside village. Courtyards cooled by fountains and shaded by canopies of tall palms provide gateways to the guestrooms, all of which have alluring sea views. Designers planned each building’s orientation, location, size and openings to increase natural light and cross ventilation. As one of the first luxury resorts built on Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, the Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh set the tone for resorts that followed.
