The Red Sea coastline offers some of the most coveted villa escapes in the world — places where glass-clear water meets refined stays that can completely reshape what you think a private getaway should feel like. Alongside Egypt’s long-loved resort towns, Saudi Arabia’s groundbreaking developments bring a fresh edge, yet both showcase that ideal mix of raw beauty and bold architecture.
Whether your dream leans toward an overwater retreat or a sandy-front estate with its infinity pool, the promise is the same: unmatched privacy and elegance. Below are 15 remarkable villas across the Red Sea that set the standard for luxury travel.
Tawila Island spacious villa
Just off El Gouna sits this five-bedroom haven, more in the spirit of a private estate than a simple holiday home. Positioned on Tawila Island, the property grants guests exclusive beach access yet keeps the lively marina and restaurants just minutes away.
Vast glass walls frame ever-changing shades of turquoise and deep blue, turning the Red Sea itself into a living mural throughout the day.
Gs 18 Villa elegance
In the South Golf district of El Gouna, this refined villa marries crisp, modern design with the calm sweep of Hurghada’s coastline. Indoors and outdoors melt into each other, with terraces that seem to pull you toward the greens of the golf course and the glittering sea beyond.
Guests get the peace of a secluded residence without losing the perks of El Gouna’s upscale attractions — a combination not every property can claim.

Royal Blue family sanctuary
Set in Hurghada, this villa comfortably hosts eight guests but keeps the ambiance personal rather than overwhelming. The pool anchors an outdoor setup complete with loungers, shaded corners, and open-air dining — perfect for both sun-drenched afternoons and quiet evenings.
Inside, the decor carries a subtle elegance, balancing comfort with a polished finish.
Four Seasons sea view residence
The villas and chalets at Four Seasons Resort Sharm el-Sheikh deliver beachfront indulgence with an effortless touch. Each residence opens directly to fine sand and colorful coral reefs, making the sea part of your daily rhythm.
Private terraces invite you to trade music for the sound of waves, while full resort services ensure no compromise between privacy and pampering.
Carlton luxury retreat
Carlton Luxury Villa in Sharm el-Sheikh speaks to those who value discretion as much as design. From its elevated perch, the Red Sea stretches out in full view, yet neighbors remain out of sight.
Here, luxury goes beyond high-end finishes — it’s about that rare feeling of having uncovered a private jewel along one of the planet’s most breathtaking shores.

Long Island beach house
This five-bedroom Tawila Beach House in El Gouna pairs direct sand access with a pool that could rival any hotel’s. Outdoor living comes naturally here, with terraces catching the day’s changing light and inviting you to linger outside.
Whether for a lively gathering or a solo recharge, the home flexes to fit the mood while keeping its refined seaside style intact.
Hurghada private pool villa
Minimalist lines meet high-end materials in this Hurghada retreat, producing a look that’s fresh yet enduring. The pool area is wrapped in greenery for privacy but open enough to welcome the evening breeze — one of the Red Sea’s quiet pleasures.
Sometimes luxury is less about excess and more about balance, and this property captures that perfectly.
Sahl Hasheesh sea view villa
Set high above the shoreline, this Sahl Hasheesh villa makes the most of its outlook — a sweep of water that catches the light at every hour. Guests can sip cocktails on the terrace as fishing boats drift home at dusk, or simply stay inside and enjoy the framed sea views from nearly every room.
Indoors or out, comfort and scenery go hand in hand.

Yasmin Villa, five bedrooms
In El Gouna, Yasmin Villa proves big spaces don’t have to feel imposing. Five bedrooms circle shared living areas designed for both connection and privacy.
Outside, the pool expands the living space into the open air, creating spots for yoga at sunrise or gatherings at night — a balance of Egyptian warmth and international style.
Soma Bay golf views
With just two bedrooms, this Soma Bay villa is tailored for couples or small families who still want the high-end touch. Views sweep over both the golf course and the sea, while access to nearby beach and pool facilities stretches the experience beyond the villa itself.
Clever use of space makes the interiors feel larger, while every fixture feels deliberately chosen.
Sheybara Resort oval villas
On Sheybarah Island, 73 mirror-like oval villas — 38 floating overwater — mark Sheybara Resort as something entirely new. Their curved steel shells shift color with the sky, while inside, privacy is absolute and the ocean is always within reach.
The design is more than striking; it’s a bridge between guests and the marine world below.

St. Regis Red Sea elegance
At the St. Regis Red Sea Resort, 90 villas from one to four bedrooms each feature their pool and sundeck. Reaching them means traveling by boat or seaplane, a detail that heightens the sense of retreat.
Set on the Ummahat Islands, the experience feels less like a hotel stay and more like temporarily owning a slice of paradise.
Nujuma Ritz-Carlton Reserve
On the Ummahat Islands, Nujuma’s 82 villas range from intimate one-bedroom escapes to spacious four-room hideaways. Every villa is a private bubble where the soundtrack is just waves and the occasional seabird.
True to the Ritz-Carlton Reserve ethos, luxury here is about rare experiences as much as about fine amenities.
Six Senses Desert Dunes
Instead of hugging the coast, Six Senses Southern Dunes sits among sweeping sand formations. Its 40 villas are ideal for stargazing nights and silent mornings — an entirely different Red Sea mood.
The desert’s golden drama replaces the ocean’s blue, offering a change of pace that appeals to seekers of solitude.

Desert Rock granite sanctuary
Built directly into rugged granite cliffs, Desert Rock’s 64 villas feel both primal and indulgent. The rock itself shapes the living spaces, merging raw nature with modern comforts.
Here, the drama comes not from endless water views but from the power of stone rising around you.
Where luxury meets the Red Sea
These 15 villas aren’t just overnight stops — they’re entry points into Red Sea experiences hotels can’t quite match. Egypt’s established hubs mix with Saudi Arabia’s ambitious new projects, each property offering its spin on the good life by the water (or sand).
Whether it’s an overwater suite above coral gardens or a desert perch under the stars, this coastline now defines a new level of luxury travel.
