Sea View Apartments for Sale in Hurghada — Your Guide to Red Sea Views
A Red Sea view from your own apartment — watching the sunrise over the water and the changing colours of the sea throughout the day — is one of Hurghada's great lifestyle promises. Here is your complete guide to finding and buying sea view property.
What Constitutes a 'Sea View' in Hurghada?
Sea views in Hurghada exist on a spectrum. Full sea view: the Red Sea is directly in front of you with no obstruction — the premium. Partial sea view: the sea is visible from part of the apartment or terrace but not the full frontage. Sea glimpse: a sliver of sea visible between buildings. Side sea view: the sea is visible from the side rather than straight ahead. Always confirm exactly what 'sea view' means for any specific property and ask for photos from the actual unit.
Sea View Properties by Area
Sahl Hasheesh: genuinely beachfront sea views, the most premium. Most units above ground floor have sea views. Makadi Bay: beachfront compounds with direct sea views. Al Ahyaa: sea views available from upper floors of seafront compounds. El Gouna: lagoon views rather than open sea — equally beautiful, different aesthetic.
Price Premium for Sea Views
A sea view typically adds 20–40% to the price of an identical apartment without the view. On a £50,000 base price, the sea view premium is £10,000–£20,000. Whether this is worth it depends on your priorities: rental income (sea view commands higher weekly rates), personal enjoyment, and capital appreciation (sea view protects values).
Rental Premium for Sea Views
Sea view apartments achieve 30–50% more per week in tourist rentals compared to equivalent non-sea-view apartments. The rental premium more than justifies the purchase premium over the lifetime of the investment.
Protecting Your View
Confirm there are no planning permissions for construction between your compound and the sea. Ask what is directly in front of the compound. Check the compound's height restriction policy. In established resorts like Sahl Hasheesh, views are generally well-protected.
