A Hidden Mediterranean Escape in Egypt

 

There are places you don’t expect. Turquoise waters, powder-soft pale sand, almost Caribbean shades… yet we are in Marsa Matrouh, on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt.

Here, a refined and still under-the-radar address is attracting curious, design-minded travelers: Sakhra.

A Contemporary Retreat by the Sea

Sakhra was conceived with a clear vision: to enhance the natural beauty of this coastline without overpowering it. The architecture blends into the landscape through sandy tones, clean lines and a contemporary Mediterranean aesthetic that leaves space for light and sea views.

The result is an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere, where true luxury lies in space, privacy and a privileged beachfront setting.

A Bay with Caribbean Shades

The stretch of coast where the resort sits is among the most spectacular in the area: crystal-clear water, shallow sandy seabeds and colors ranging from bright turquoise to deep blue.

This is not about coral reefs and diving excursions, but about long swims, barefoot walks and the pleasure of experiencing a surprisingly pristine Mediterranean.

 
 

An Intimate, Slower Rhythm

Unlike more established destinations such as Sharm el-Sheikh or Hurghada, the experience here feels quieter and more exclusive.

Sakhra offers a more intimate stay, ideal for couples and travelers seeking a sophisticated yet understated escape. Rooms and suites privilege sea views, natural materials and contemporary comfort, in a setting that invites you to slow down.

Between History and Nature

Staying here also means discovering a lesser-known side of the country. Not far away lies the beach associated with Cleopatra, while to the east you can reach El Alamein, site of one of the decisive battles of World War II.

For those wishing to combine sea and culture, the stay can be paired with a few days in Cairo or Alexandria, creating a balanced itinerary between ancient history and coastal relaxation.

 
 
 
 
 

When to Go

The best period runs from May to October. June and September are particularly appealing, offering ideal temperatures and a more tranquil, exclusive atmosphere.

Marsa Matrouh is a revelation for travelers who think they already know Egypt. And Sakhra represents one of the most compelling ways to experience this unexpected Mediterranean: elegant, luminous and still refreshingly authentic.
