It’s all about the wow factor at this Kempinski property in Soma Bay, a naturally-preserved peninsula on Egypt’s eastern shores. Even the sprawling pool complex goes the extra mile with family areas, a meandering lazy river, a lap pool and romantic bridges, while the dazzling white 400m (1,312ft) beach is another tempting option. The food here will impress too – try breakfast on a private boat at sunrise, formal Egyptian afternoon tea, lavish seafood barbecues and cocktails on the beach, where staff set up beanbags by the water’s edge every evening.

The party never stops at the Meraki – the Middle East’s first clubbing resort. Located in Hurghada, on one of the longest beaches in the Red Sea, this four-star adults-only resort doesn’t do quiet nights in. Instead, party into the early hours at the day-to-night beach club with guest DJs, sports bar, poolside nightclub and industrial-style live music venue. There’s plenty to get you out of bed the next day, too, including beach volleyball contests, water slides, running tracks, kayaking, parasailing and even DJ classes.
