Romantic Shift

Forget Paris, forget Rome, and for a second, even forget the classic Greek islands. If you and your other half are looking for that perfect spot that combines an exclusive vibe, Instagrammable backdrops, and absolute relaxation, there is only one answer: El Alamein.

Nicknamed the "Maldives of the Mediterranean," this paradise corner hidden on Egypt's Riviera comes packed with powder-white sand, unreal turquoise waters, and luxury resorts that look straight out of a design magazine. It is the definition of the new luxury: intimate, spectacular, and completely carefree.

If you are ready to surprise your partner with a memorable escape, here is where you need to book your next story for two.

Where to stay for a memorable vibe?

Rixos Montaza Alexandria (Adults Only +16) 5*

Your secret sanctuary 

If your definition of romance means no kids, just pure relaxation, this is the place. It is an ultra-exclusive resort designed specifically for adults who want to escape the everyday routine.

• Why you’ll love it: Think lazy mornings with no alarm, fine cocktails sipped at sunset by a sensual pool, and deep house music in the background. The service is so discreet and attentive it will anticipate your wishes before you even speak them out loud. It’s the ideal setting for a honeymoon or a getaway where you want to completely reconnect.

Ghazala Alamein 5*

Bohemian chill & beachside intimacy 

If you prefer a more low-key luxury, focused on peace, nature, and intimate moments, Ghazala is the answer. Tucked away in a quiet bay, this hotel keeps a select "boutique" feel.

• Why you’ll love it: The vibe is relaxed, bohemian, and extremely elegant. You can stay in rooms that let you step almost directly onto the fine sand, and your evenings will find you enjoying memorable gourmet dinners under the starry sky, listening only to the sound of the sea. It is the definition of low-key luxury, perfect for couples looking to escape the crowds.

Rixos Premium Alamein 5*

Glamour, design & modern energy 

Are you the type of couple that loves modern architecture, premium design, and always wants to be at the center of the action? Then the most spectacular hotspot on the coast is waiting for you.

• Why you’ll love it: This hotel completely redefines the concept of glamour. It features absolutely brilliant infinity pools that seem to spill right into the Mediterranean Sea—the perfect backdrop for your holiday photos. Add à la carte restaurants led by award-winning chefs and a vibrant atmosphere, and you have the recipe for a premium vacation where every single day has a celebratory feel.

What does a perfect day for two look like in El Alamein?

You wake up to a view of the turquoise sea, enjoy a long and late breakfast, and then spend your day on a private cabana on the beach. The afternoon is dedicated to a relaxing couple's massage at a world-class spa, while the evening starts with a glass of champagne at sunset and ends with a romantic dinner where your only care is to enjoy each other's company.
