Sharm's most polished resort, built down a cliff in Sharks Bay with a funicular between the rooms and a small beach. Book it for the house reef off the jetties, the restaurant range and the service, not for the beach itself. Premier sea-view rooms are the ones to have.
Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh is built down a cliff in Sharks Bay, a 10-minute drive from the airport. Rooms and pools step down the hillside among the palms, a funicular links the upper resort to the beach, and the whole thing runs on buggies. The house reef is the reason to come: two jetties drop you onto coral that reviewers describe as the best snorkelling they found in Sharm, and the dive centre has its own boats.
The beach itself is the honest weak point. It is small, sand mixed with shingle, and coral at the waterline means you swim from the jetty. Pool days happen at the Waha pool or the quieter Luna pool beside the Latin restaurant. Dining is the other strength: Bullona for seafood, Yatai for Japanese, Zitouni for Levantine, Il Frantoio for Italian, with the Sails and Observatory lounges for the view across to Tiran Island at sunset.
Families are welcome — kids' club for 4–12, a teen centre, tennis and padel — which makes the main pool livelier than the brochure suggests. Prices are high across the board and everything is à la carte; meal plan varies by rate, so check what breakfast covers. Soho Square is the only walk, 10–15 minutes; Naama Bay is a taxi.

— Unprofessional Conduct and Shocking Management Response: I am writing this review to warn other divers about a serious breach of professionalism and personal boundaries by an instructor named Yaqoob at the Four Seasons Sharm El Sheikh during a dive at 1:00 PM on September 1st. My wife and I have experienced scuba diving many times and have gone on multiple dives around the world. We are well aware of standard underwater communication, safety protocols, and what constitutes acceptable physical contact. What occurred on our dive with Yaqoob was completely unacceptable, especially for a luxury resort of this standard.During the dive, Yaqoob crossed professional boundaries by locking his fingers with my wife’s fingers. This was not a standard safety hold, a reassurance gesture, or a necessary guiding technique. It was an intimate, intrusive, and entirely unwarranted physical advancement. This behavior left my wife feeling incredibly vulnerable, shocked, and unsafe in an environment where you must completely rely on your instructor for security. The normal limit of contact should be strictly professional and far less intrusive.Equally disturbing was the initial reaction from the resort's leadership. When we first complained to a member of the senior management, she actively defended Yaqoob's actions, dismissing our serious safety and boundary concerns by stating that he is a "happily married man." This deflection was entirely inappropriate and unprofessional. It was only when the top senior management was informed that the situation was taken seriously; he reassured me that this behavior is completely intolerable and promised that action would be taken.While we appreciate that the top management ultimately acknowledged the severity of this incident, the initial dismissal and Yaqoob’s behavior ruined our experience. For a five-star establishment like the Four Seasons, we expected immediate accountability and the highest level of vetting.
Everything really, the staff specially!
No. It welcomes families, with the Kids for All Seasons club for ages 4–12 and a teen centre, and reviewers note the main pool is family-heavy. Couples get quieter corners at the clifftop lounges and the spa, but this is not an adults-only resort.
Small and sand-and-shingle, with shallow coral at the shoreline, so you enter the sea from the jetties rather than wading in. The reward is the house reef: reviewers rate the snorkelling straight off the jetties as some of the best on the coast, and the resort runs its own dive centre.
About 10 minutes by car; it is one of the closest resorts to the airport. One reviewer notes taxis are not allowed up to reception, so a pre-arranged hotel car is the smoother option. Meal plan varies by rate.
Premier King Room with Sea View: newer section, balcony, sea outlook. Superior rooms face the palms and sit in the older part; the One Bedroom Suite With Plunge Pool is the honeymoon splurge. Rooms take two adults and two children under 12 on a sofabed, but check occupancy on your rate.
Soho Square is 10–15 minutes on foot for restaurants and shops. Naama Bay is 15–20 minutes by taxi, the Old Market about 30. Nothing else is walkable; it is a resort you stay in.

Rediscover luxury at Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh, where every detail is designed to elevate your stay.
The Premier rooms are the newer section that reviewers single out as the most spacious, and they come with a balcony facing the Red Sea rather than the palms. Superior rooms sit lower with palm views and no sea outlook, so this is the step worth paying for.
Value pick:Superior King Room with Palm View — the entry-level room: palm-garden views instead of sea, and in the older part of the resort according to reviewers.
The one place you can reach on foot: an open-air plaza of restaurants and shops. Go when you want a dinner that isn't a resort restaurant, or just to see other people.
Naama Bay's pedestrian strip is the contrast to the resort's calm. Use the Starbucks terrace as the anchor for an evening walk along the promenade and back.
The Old Market is the only part of Sharm that feels like an Egyptian town, and the mosque is its landmark. Go late afternoon, eat there, and come back for a nightcap at the Citadel Lounge.
