Radisson Hotel Group has announced the launch of the Group’s newest brand, Radisson Individuals, in Egypt with the opening of Marina Resort Port Ghalib, a member of Radisson Individuals. This brings the Group’s portfolio in Egypt to eight hotels in operation and under development and the first Radisson Individuals in Africa.
Marina Resort Port Ghalib, a member of Radisson Individuals is set in an ideal location along the desert coastline of the Red Sea, next to Port Ghalib’s palm tree-lined promenade and popular yacht-docking harbor, with direct beach access and its own water park. Port Ghalib is located in Marsa Alam on the Southern Red Sea Coral Coast of Egypt, 67 km south of Quseir City. The resort is conveniently situated close to a range of attractions including the popular nearby dive site Marsa Mubarak where visitors can get up close to fish, sea turtles, and local marine mammals.
Each of the 159 spacious and stylish hotel rooms and suites has a balcony overlooking the pool or the marina.
The hotel’s two-bedroom duplex suite is a perfect home away from home that stretches across 160 square meters and features a kitchen, living room, dining room, and reception area as well as two master bedrooms, each with their own en-suite bathroom.
The hotel's food & beverages venues are set in stylish indoor and alfresco surroundings along the coastline. La Brasserie, the hotel’s restaurant, is located just above the lobby area and offers a buffet with live cooking stations. The hotel’s Lobby Bar is the perfect place to satisfy coffee cravings or grab a light bite at any time of the day, while the Marina Beach Bar, Splash Bar, and The Nest Bar are ideal venues for refreshments alongside the coast or poolside.
- Tim Cordon, Area Senior Vice President, Middle East and Africa at Radisson Hotel Group, says, “We are pleased to welcome our first Radisson Individuals hotel to Egypt and open the doors to our fourth hotel in the country. Marina Resort Port Ghalib, a member of Radisson Individuals perfectly complements our existing portfolio and is a great representation of the new Radisson Individuals brand in the market.”

When it comes to hotel development across Africa, Egypt and Marriott are the two phenomena to watch. This insight comes from this year’s African Hotel Chain Development Pipeline report, widely acknowledged as the industry’s most authoritative source, documenting and analysing the number of hotels being planned and built across the continent.
This November will mark the opening of SO/ Maldives, a sartorially-rooted retreat set on a pristine private island and surrounded by the Emboodhoo Lagoon. Located just a 15-minute speedboat ride from Malé’s Velana International Airport, the hotel harmoniously blends rare accessibility with exquisite privacy, with each of the 80 individually designed villas nestled directly on its own slice of white-sand beach or on stilts above the lagoon. Innovative restaurant and bar concepts are designed to offer a refreshing counterpart to the ubiquitous resort all-day dining buffet, while the cultural programming will bring together the best of music, fashion, design and art.
