El Gouna isn’t just pretty—it’s dreamy in that Pinterest-board-meets-Red-Sea kind of way. Whether you’re into adventure, aesthetics, or just really good food, this beach town delivers. Here’s how to make your one-day escape unforgettable.
Start Strong With Breakfast at Pachamama
Kick off the day at Pachamama, where the breakfast hits every spot—hearty plates, plant-based goodies, and the kind of coffee that sets the tone.
Take a Private Boat to Mahmya Island for That Crystal Water Fix
Book a private boat for a quick 2–3 hour escape to Mahmya Island. It’s close, peaceful, and the water is ridiculously clear—like tropical postcard levels of clear. Swim, chill, and reset.
Explore the Picturesque Town
Take your time walking along the city, calm, breezy, and full of yacht-core energy. Take in the white villas, each one looking like it was built for a fashion campaign. There are a lot of picturesque spots around El Gouna that will simply stop you in your tracks.
Kitesurf With Kitepower or Go Full-On Water Sports Mode at El Gouna Sailing Club
Feeling adventurous? Book a kitesurfing session with Kitepower El Gouna—total beginners welcome. Prefer to chill? El Gouna Sailing Club has you covered with boat trips, water sports, beach lounging, sailing school, and, honestly, great food.
Fuel Up on Pasta and Pizza at Zia Amelia
For lunch, head to Zia Amelia, an authentic Italian spot serving up wood-fired pizza and homemade pasta . It’s a Gouna favorite for a reason.
Soak in the Vibes and Coffee at La Maison Bleue
Even if you’re not staying there, swing by La Maison Bleue for a coffee. This hotel is hands-down the most picturesque in town—Mediterranean elegance, peaceful courtyards, and interior goals everywhere you look.
Head to the Marina and Eat Dinner at Luma
Wrap up the day with a golden hour stroll along the marina, then head to Luma. The dinner vibe is warm, intimate, and just elevated enough to feel like a main character moment.
Private islands, luxury escapes, dreamy food, and all the lagoon energy—El Gouna really knows how to do a lot without trying too hard.
