Soma Bay property
Soma Bay, often written Somabay, is a self-contained resort peninsula on Egypt's Red Sea coast, developed by Somabay (Abu Soma Development Company). Golf, a marina, diving, branded hotels, and a growing set of residential districts sit on a single gated landmass aimed at upscale second-home and rental-income buyers.
KÂMO Property Group advises clients across the Somabay real estate market - primarily off-plan, with off-market resale on request - with a clear view of how the peninsula and each individual project compare to El Gouna, Sahl Hasheesh, and the wider Red Sea corridor: on price, format, delivery, and rental potential rather than the brochure.
The destination
The Somabay master plan spans roughly 10 million m² (about 2,400 acres) with 11 km of peninsula coastline and seafront promenade, around 5.5 km of sandy beaches and 5.5 km of reef. It sits about 45 km from Hurghada International Airport, with Makadi roughly 20 km and El Gouna around 60 km away.
Amenities are resort-grade: a 45-hole golf offer billed as the largest in the Middle East (the 18-hole Gary Player championship course, the 9-hole Hidden Coves course, a Tim Lobb extension and a par-3 short course, plus a golf academy); the longest jetty and house reef in the Red Sea at about 420 m; a roughly 7,500 m² Cascades Thalasso spa; 8 operating hotels with 2 more (Marriott Autograph Collection and a Mazeej boutique) announced; and 3 international schools. Figures per the Somabay developer factsheet and destination overview, April 2026; speak with us for current detail.
Off-plan projects at Soma Bay
Somabay is building out 14+ communities across bayside, reefside, and golf-town districts. KÂMO currently represents buyers across ten launched off-plan projects: Nautilus (signature villas), Blanca, Blanca Gardens and Blanca Gardens II (chalets and twin chalets), Mesca Heights and Mesca Golf Edition (sea- and golf-view apartments), Greens Baywest Valley (villas and apartments), Arc of Soma Lagoon Edition (lagoon suites and duplexes), Wadi Soma (sea-front cliff villas and lodges), and Golftown Marina Edition (golf-and-marina chalets).
Further Somabay communities - Mazeej Residences, Blanca Collection, Reef Town, Coves, Wadi Jebal and its extension, Somabreeze, and the original Arc of Soma - are available on request as they release. Across the destination, starting prices run from about EGP 11M to EGP 130M on 7-8 year payment plans (developer factsheet, April 2026); we confirm current pricing, availability, and terms per project on enquiry.
Buying off-plan in Soma Bay
Soma Bay tends toward larger formats and resort-style amenities rather than a dense marina town - buyers often prioritise privacy, sea access, golf frontage, and branded-hospitality adjacency. Browse current Soma Bay listings on the map, read the Somabay developer profile, then enquire for specific availability, floor plans, and payment terms - including off-market resale.

Common questions
Is it Soma Bay or Somabay?
Both spellings appear in search and marketing: Soma Bay and Somabay refer to the same Red Sea peninsula in Egypt, developed by Abu Soma Development Company. We use "Soma Bay" as the primary form.
How do I find Somabay real estate for sale?
Somabay real estate is sold through the developer's launched off-plan projects and a smaller resale market. KÂMO Property Group represents buyers across ten launched projects on the peninsula - including Nautilus, Blanca, and Mesca - and confirms current availability, pricing, and payment terms on enquiry, including off-market resale.
What does property at Soma Bay cost?
Across the launched off-plan projects, the developer factsheet (April 2026) quotes starting prices from about EGP 11M to EGP 130M, typically on 7-8 year payment plans. Entry chalets and apartments sit at the lower end; signature and sea-front villas at the top. We confirm the current price and terms for a specific unit type before recommending.
Which Soma Bay projects can KÂMO sell?
We represent buyers across ten launched off-plan projects - including Nautilus, Blanca and the Blanca Gardens collection, Mesca Heights and Mesca Golf Edition, Greens Baywest Valley, Arc of Soma Lagoon Edition, Wadi Soma, and Golftown Marina Edition - with more Somabay communities available on request as they release.
How does Soma Bay compare to El Gouna?
El Gouna is an established lagoon town with marina life and broad resale depth. Soma Bay is a more peninsula-focused, golf-and-dive resort with a large share of new off-plan stock. We advise clients based on lifestyle and investment goals.
