Luxurious blue villa with an outdoor pool surrounded by sun loungers, plants, and seating areas under bright daylight.

La Maison Bleue El Gouna

Directly on Mangroovy Beach in El Gouna, where the desert meets the Red Sea, lies La Maison Bleue El Gouna – a powder-blue estate that looks as if it has emerged from a novel. The antique collector Amr Khalil and architect Olivier Sednaoui once created the house as a private guest villa for El Gouna founder Samih Sawiris, building a fantastical world between Venice, Istanbul, Damascus, and North Africa: Minoan wall paintings, Catalan mosaics, Syrian arches, and Venetian tiles all live under one roof. Only 13 suites are spread over the property furnished with antiques, hand-painted murals, and chandeliers, surrounded by gardens designed by French landscape architect Louis Benech. Adults Only and with direct access to a private lagoon, La Maison Bleue El Gouna is a place for all those seeking design, tranquility, and sophistication away from the hustle and bustle of El Gouna.

Rooms

Each of the 13 suites at La Maison Bleue El Gouna tells its own story with unique antiques, hand-painted murals by local artists, and parquet floors. Ranging up to 120 square meters, the suites feature marble bathrooms with freestanding bathtubs, a walk-in closet, and depending on the category, a balcony or terrace with views of the Red Sea, the private lagoon, or the desert mountains behind. Minibar, yoga mats, Bluetooth speakers, and upon request a UHD television are part of the amenities, along with high ceilings and artistic details reminiscent of a private collector's villa. Adults Only from 16 years ensures a particularly quiet, adult atmosphere.

Culinary

In Le Restaurant and the newer Botanica, Franco-Egyptian cuisine is served with seasonal ingredients and herbs from the hotel's own greenhouse, accompanied by carefully selected wines. At the pool bar, there are Mediterranean snacks and creative cocktails with herbs from the garden during the day, while breakfast is served anytime and practically anywhere on the property. Under intricately vaulted arcades or directly at the lagoon, each meal transforms into a small experience – stylish, yet never stiff.

Activities

The Roman-inspired spa area of La Maison Bleue El Gouna offers hammam, sauna, and massages in an ambiance of marble and warm light. The marble-edged pool and the private lagoon at Mangroovy Beach invite swimming, while water sports enthusiasts meet at the eponymous kitesurf spot right at the doorstep. From here, Abu Tig Marina and Fanadir Marina with their restaurants and boats are reachable in a few minutes, as well as boat trips to the offshore island Zeytouna Beach.

Location

La Maison Bleue El Gouna is located directly at the northern end of Mangroovy Beach in El Gouna, with the Red Sea on one side and the desert of the Eastern Mountain Range on the other. Secluded yet close to the heart of El Gouna, you can reach Abu Tig Marina with its restaurants and bars as well as Fanadir Marina in just a few minutes by car. Hurghada International Airport is about a 45-minute drive to the south, while the bustling center of El Gouna with its cafes and boutiques is also within a short distance. This blend of retreat and proximity makes The Blue House one of the most sought-after addresses on the Red Sea.
