“Some hotels don’t feel like hotels. For 100 years, Chateau Marmont in L.A. and Colombe d’Or in the south of France have served as club houses for a certain clique... They are about privacy and intimacy as well as high luxury. It is these elements that have shaped the recently refurbished La Maison Bleue in El Gouna, Egypt, over the last couple of decades.”

-Architectural Digest

“La Maison Bleue feels, truly, like a holiday home, albeit a really lavish one. ‘Folly’ isn’t too far off the mark as descriptors go.”

— The Financial Times

“It was dreamed up by Franco-Egyptian architect Olivier Sednaoui and Egyptian antiques aficionado Amr Khalil, and is fabulous and surprising in all the right ways... But it isn’t all about the wow factor—although that is considerable—smaller details have been carefully considered, too.”

— The Telegraph

“Why book? For superior, year-round seaside fun in extraordinary surroundings accompanied by excellent food and a bespoke wellness offering. One of the highlights of staying here is the ability of the 60-strong team to craft completely personalised packages, from fitness and wellness to food and activities.”

— Condé Nast Traveller

“À la lisière du lagon, presque cachée derrière ses volets clos, La Maison Bleue apparaît, tel un décor échappé d’un rêve. On entre comme on franchit un portail vers un autre monde.”

— Voyage Voyage

“La Maison Bleue se dévoile comme un refuge intime et paisible. Entre suites élégantes, saveurs méditerranéennes et escapades marines, cet écrin invite à ralentir le temps et à savourer une parenthèse d’exception.”
