Somabay is a private peninsula on Egypt's Red Sea coast, about 45 minutes south of Hurghada International Airport. It has been developed under a single master plan since 1991 by Abu Soma Development Company — a distinct company from El Gouna's Orascom Development, a common mix-up. The peninsula carries 11 km of shoreline, with residential releases published in phases and tracked individually by KÂMO.

Beyond the beach, Somabay holds two 18-hole golf courses — the original championship course by Gary Player and Hidden Coves by Tim Lobb, opening in phases — alongside a full-service marina expanded to 260 berths in 2026, the Cascades thalasso spa, and dedicated dive and kite-surfing centres. Five hotels operate on the peninsula — Kempinski, Sheraton, Cascades, Robinson and The Breakers Diving & Surfing Lodge — and the Red Sea stays above 20°C year-round, with golf, diving and kite-surfing peaking between October and April.

What is the difference between 'Somabay' and 'Soma Bay'?

'Soma Bay' — two words — is the place: the bay itself on Egypt's Red Sea coast. 'Somabay' — one word — is the destination built on that bay: Abu Soma Development Company's master-planned resort, and the brand its residential projects are released under. Something can be located in Soma Bay without belonging to Somabay; every project on this page is part of Somabay itself.
