Casa Cook El Gouna

Secluded yet with an open terrace that overlooks Casa Cook’s gardens and the Eastern Desert, the 39 sqm Deluxe Room is home to a king-size bed, a sitting area with a Bluetooth speaker, and a bathroom with a shower. The interior design is minimalist, with polished concrete surfaces, hard lines, and geometric shapes creating a canvas for light and shadow to embellish in various ways throughout the day. 

With a private rooftop terrace, this room is an ideal perch from which to admire the changing sky over El Gouna, as well as the ochres and purples of the Red Sea Hills. Inside, a sitting area is an ideal spot for sheltering from the high noon sun, with a design that’s laid back and minimalist. Throughout the 48 sqm space, one finds furniture made from mango, teak and sarso woods, elegant linens, and understated rattan — all bathed in natural light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows— as well as a bathroom in polished concrete.

From the sunbeds on the private terrace area by a pool shared with a couple of other Junior Suites, guests enjoy excellent views of the mountains and Casa Cook’s gardens. The design is uniquely understated: smooth concrete surfaces and furnishings made from mango, teak, or sarso woods, as well as elegant linens and understated rattan create a subdued palette that puts the golden Egyptian sunlight centre stage. Each Junior Suite, spanning up to 48 sqm, is also home to a spacious seating area and a second outdoor shower, which is a rarity even for boutique hotels in El Gouna.

Spanning 83 sqm and offering ample space for up to four guests with two bedrooms and bathrooms and an additional outdoor shower, the Casa Cook villa is ideal for hiding away with loved ones. Yet its location close to the beach keeps adventure at arm’s reach. A large living room blends with a private outdoor terrace and pool, while neutral linens, rich tones from mango, sarso and teak wood, and geometric slabs of polished concrete contribute to an aesthetic that doesn’t distract from the spectacular views of the Red Sea.
