The new Rixos in Sharm

Introducing a New Rixos in Sharm El Sheikh – and yes, it’s right by the sea!

Opened in December 2023, this resort primarily spans the second line, but there’s a convenient shuttle running frequently to the beach.

Accommodation

Modern rooms with bathrobes, a stocked minibar, exceptionally comfortable beds and pillows (personally tested!), high-quality linens, and lovely toiletries.

Most rooms feature a marine theme, with undersea-inspired wall art. Some might find it a bit whimsical, but the idea aligns with a new amusement park—similar to Turkey’s Land of Legends—set to open nearby in 2025.

In the buildings farther from reception, rooms have a classic Rixos design, rather than the marine décor.

Ideal for anyone who: 

Wants a Rixos Experience at a slightly lower rate than Rixos Sharm or Rixos Premium Seagate.

Prefers Fresh, Modern Hotels with a new feel.

Enjoys plenty of space and privacy (despite near 100% occupancy, it never feels crowded).

Facilities

Spacious, Modern Grounds – very clean, with heated pools.

Fantastic Kids’ Club – open until midnight. Alongside an outdoor playground and sports area, there are 21 professional “workshops” where kids can pretend to be police officers, firefighters, chefs, or even try their hand at various beauty-industry roles. There’s also a dedicated children’s restaurant.

A large amphitheater for evening shows, shared by both Rixos Radamis Tirana 5* and Rixos Radamis Blue Planet 5*.

Dining & Bars

Nine à la carte restaurants plus multiple bars serving high-quality imported alcohol.

Beach Bar & Restaurant – serves lunch by day, transforms into an à la carte venue by night.

A new mangal (grill) restaurant right on the beach is a standout.

In the main restaurant, food is good yet still evolving to reach the traditional Rixos standard.

Fewer seafood options (no dedicated seafood selection over three days).

Red fish (salmon) was available at breakfast, but you had to look for it.

Fresh juices, including mango, were consistently on offer.

Despite the more limited seafood, the variety of à la carte restaurants adds plenty of dining options.

Beach

Among all Rixos resorts in Sharm El Sheikh, this one arguably has the best beach.

Short pontoon and a lovely sandy lagoon if you prefer entering from the shore. Even on windy days when the pontoon is closed (red flag), swimming from the shore is still comfortable and safe.

Good water depth and soft sand underfoot—no corals to worry about.

A luxurious first-line villa complex is also available, with:

3-bedroom villas for up to 6 guests

4-bedroom villas for up to 8 guests

High-end equipment, elegant tableware, and stylish, comfortable furnishings. Each villa comes with its own pool and complimentary beach cabana service.

Extra Perks

Guests can enjoy the water park at Rixos Premium Seagate free of charge, with a complimentary shuttle provided between the two hotels.

Overall, this new Rixos property is a great option for those seeking a modern resort experience, a fantastic beach, and abundant entertainment — all at a slightly more budget-friendly price point than other Rixos options in Sharm.
