The five-star Savoy Sharm El Sheikh Resort, which opened its doors on December 2000, is located on the renowned White Knight Beach, a preserved area of Ras Mohamed National Park.

The property combines a variety of architectural styles and includes 408 well-appointed rooms and suites and 17 villas.

Facilities include a large three-level swimming pool, diving centre, water sports centre, tennis courts, beach volleyball, fitness centre with sauna an massage services, billiards in addition to eight restaurants and bars.
