@SceneTraveller : There are two kinds of Red Sea trips: those that revolve around early wake-up calls for buffets and beach chairs, and those that unfold slowly, effortlessly, and exactly how you want them to.
@gooddays.stays in Somabay—the newest hospitality concept from
@gettowander , the creative force behind Ras ElHekma’s Matcha and Ritsa—is firmly in the second category, arriving on the coast with a promise baked right into its name.
Tucked into the laid-back energy of
@somabayredsea , the 24-key hotel offers thoughtfully curated stays ranging from lakefront and golf-view rooms to cosy lodge-style hideaways. And no matter which you choose, each is dreamed up in collaboration with The Design Avenue to feel like the kind of place you’d happily disappear into for a long weekend.
But Good Days isn’t just about where you sleep, it’s about how you spend your time. Mornings begin with breakfast by Boulevard, which offers all-day dining, before the day drifts naturally toward the Red Sea’s endless blue, where you can swim, snorkel, or speed away on a bike to discover the rest of Somabay.
After a long tanning session that somehow turns into a nap, it’s time to wander into Habitat, Good Days’ own commercial hub. Here, the line between hotel and hangout blurs: you can sip your morning coffee at Fix by Social before rolling out a yoga mat at The Good Studio. Then, you can grab a burger at Secret Society, follow it up with a scoop at Sno Ice Cream, and explore all the shops and quirky spots like Upfuse, Jessie’s Boutique, Kai, Kiliim, and Noon by Fagnoon.
And somewhere between your first and second latte, you’ll probably bump into someone you just met at the hotel reception—dubbed The Open House—where you can work, relax, or just chat to someone who was brave enough to say “Hi.”
Finally, for those already planning their next coastal getaway, there’s great news: Good Days is officially open for bookings. All you have to do is go to gooddaysto.com or call them up on +201117772168, and trade in crowded resorts for a stay that’s equal parts serene and social. And just in time for Eid, too.
