Casa Cook El Gouna

North of El Gouna, where the desert meets the turquoise waters of the Red Sea, lies Casa Cook El Gouna - an adults-only lifestyle hotel for guests aged 16 and over. The sculptural concrete buildings of the architectural firm Common Architecture draw on the simple design language of traditional Nubian villages and thus integrate organically into the dune landscape. Earthy tones, rattan, and untreated wood define the interior and create a relaxed, unobtrusively luxurious atmosphere. Each of the 100 rooms and villas opens onto a private terrace outside - a hallmark of Casa Cook that allows indoors and outdoors to merge. Directly at the hotel's own approximately 350-meter-long sandy beach, you can expect peace and openness, while the vibrant center of El Gouna with its Abu Tig Marina is only a few minutes' drive away. A retreat for all who want to enjoy design, wellness, and the Red Sea in their own unexcited way.

Rooms

The 100 rooms, junior suites, and villas of Casa Cook El Gouna impress with a restrained design featuring earthy tones, rattan elements, and handcrafted ceramics. Each accommodation has a private terrace with views of the garden, mountains, or the Red Sea - in line with the Casa Cook philosophy of connecting indoors and outdoors. The junior suites offer direct access to a sharing pool, while the spacious villas with private pool, second bath, and outdoor shower provide even more privacy. The minimum age for all guests is 16 years, which gives the house a particularly quiet and relaxed atmosphere.

Culinary

At the Kitchen Club, the main restaurant with a view of the lagoon, local and international dishes with a modern twist are served. The Beach Club directly on the sandy beach invites you to linger during the day with a lounge bar and relaxed live music, while occasional Bedouin barbecue evenings with folklore dances provide atmospheric highlights in the evening. Through the dine-around program, guests can also visit more restaurants in the vicinity of El Gouna and discover the culinary diversity of the destination.

Activities

The wellness area of Casa Cook El Gouna combines a pool, two saunas, steam baths, plunge pools, and a hammam into a small oasis of relaxation, complemented by yoga classes in the open yoga shala. Right by the beach, you will find an in-house kitesurf center in cooperation with Duotone – ideal for beginners and experienced water sports enthusiasts alike. Those who prefer to be active on land can rent a bicycle and explore the Abu Tig Marina with its restaurants and yachts or the vibrant center of El Gouna with the Tamr Henna Square.

Location

Casa Cook El Gouna is located in the north of El Gouna, directly on a hotel-owned sandy beach and away from the hustle and bustle of the city, surrounded by dunes and the gentle mountains of the eastern desert. The Abu Tig Marina with its restaurants, bars, and yachts is approximately three kilometers away, while the palm-lined center of El Gouna with its cafés can be reached in about five kilometers. The port city of Hurghada is about 40 kilometers south, and Hurghada International Airport can be reached in about 45 minutes by car. This location makes the hotel a quiet retreat that is still close enough to El Gouna's restaurants and nightlife when you feel like a change.
