Few resort developments on Egypt’s Red Sea coast can match the scale, heritage, and vision of Almaza bay Ras soma Residences. Developed by Travco Properties, the real estate arm of one of the MENA region’s most established hospitality groups, this landmark project delivers an extraordinary combination of standalone villas, quad chalets, and apartments within an internationally planned resort destination — just 35 minutes from Hurghada Airport.
About Almaza bay Ras soma
Almaza bay Ras soma is Travco Group’s latest and most ambitious Red Sea destination, nestled on the bay of Ras Abu Soma along the Egyptian Red Sea coast. The overall destination spans a total land area of 2,656,562 square meters (approximately 633 feddans) with 1,300 meters of beach frontage — making it one of the largest privately planned resort destinations in the region.
Designed by internationally acclaimed architecture and planning firm WATG, the masterplan brings together residential communities, world-class hotels, a marina, entertainment zones, and nature-integrated open spaces into a single cohesive destination. Already operational within the broader Almaza bay Ras soma destination are two flagship hotels — the Steigenberger Almaza bay Ras soma and the Jaz Ras Soma — along with a Beach Club, Kite Surfing and Dive Center, Sports Club, Marina, and a range of dining and retail outlets.

Location
Almaza bay Ras soma Residences is located on the Red Sea coast, just 35 minutes from Hurghada International Airport and 60 km from Downtown Hurghada. For those driving from Cairo, it’s a scenic 4.5-hour road trip south along the Red Sea coast. The site’s position within the broader Almaza bay Ras soma destination means residents are immediately surrounded by an operational resort community with hotels, restaurants, beach access, and entertainment — without waiting for infrastructure to develop.
Almaza bay Ras soma Residences — The Project
Within the larger Almaza bay Ras soma destination, Almaza bay Ras soma Residences is the dedicated residential component, spanning 200,000 square meters (approximately 48 feddans) with 280 meters of direct beach frontage and a site depth of 600–700 meters. With only 15% of the land built upon, the vast majority of the project is dedicated to open spaces, gardens, pools, and natural landscaping.
The project comprises a total of 386 units across three distinct product types: 82 stand-alone villas, 112 quad chalets, and 192 apartments.
