One of my favourite places on earth
I have been coming to this hotel for the past 10 years, and every single time it feels like returning to paradise. In fact, I often say to my husband that if paradise truly exists, it must look exactly like this place.
The hotel is set on its own island on the Nile, and the entire island belongs to the property. It is unlike anywhere else I have stayed. The accommodation consists of beautiful bungalows perfectly integrated into nature, scattered throughout an immense and magnificent garden. Walking through the island feels like walking through a botanical sanctuary: frangipani trees, mango trees, palm trees, colourful flowers, and countless species of birds everywhere.
What I love most is the sense of peace. It feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of Luxor centre, yet it is still very easy to reach. Every morning, I wake up early just to enjoy the freshness of the garden air, listen to the birds singing, and take long walks alongside the Nile and across the island paths. It is the perfect place to relax, breathe, recharge, and reconnect with nature.
The hotel facilities are excellent, with two huge swimming pools, a very well-equipped gym, and everything one could need for a comfortable stay. But what truly makes this place special is the people. The staff are consistently attentive, warm, and genuinely kind.
Over the years, I have brought many family members and friends here because I wanted them to experience this magical place too.
During my current stay, I was upgraded to a beautiful Junior Suite with stunning Nile views, and I am truly delighted and grateful. A special thank you to Lorna from Guest Relations, who was incredibly diligent and kind in organising this lovely upgrade.
This place holds a very special place in my heart, and I already look forward to returning again.
