Sindbad Aqua Resort makes a splash just outside the centre of Hurghada. It comes with its own waterpark and a pool scene that’s geared up for families.

This hotel’s one of three in a complex perched on the Red Sea coast. So you’ve got a big collection of restaurants, bars and pools to dip into, as well as a spa that keeps the do not disturb sign firmly in place.

Days at this place revolve around the water – it’s got its own slide-filled waterpark and a huge wave pool. And it’s only a five-minute stroll from a camel-coloured beach.
