GORGONIA BEACH RESORT

This is an independent review. I don’t receive any commission or other financial benefit if you book this hotel. While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, I can’t guarantee the information is completely error-free. Please check any details given on this page with the resort before booking or making any decision.

Gorgonia Beach is a highly impressive five star resort located some 48 km to the south of Marsa Alam town near to the entrance  of the Wadi El Gemal National Park and is one of only a few hotels in this fascinating area with its stunning mangrove and coral reef fringed coastline, surprising diversity of animals, birds and vegetation, as well as its little known ancient history of emerald mining.  

The staff are friendly, the food excellent and the local reef wonderful for snorkellers. Judging solely by the language used by Tripadvisor reviewers (admittedly not the most precise methodology), as of 12 May 2026, nearly half of all customers so far seem to have been Italian (41%), but with the resort attracting a significant number of English (14%), German (10%), French (7%), Dutch (4%), Czech (3%) and Swedish (2%) speaking guests.

ENVIRONMENT

Gorgonia Beach Resort is the only hotel we know of which has organized two “clean up” days a week where guest volunteers and staff work together to clean up a local beach.  Well done to the management in having such a green outlook.
