Paradise Island — Giftun Island — is the jewel of the Red Sea’s island landscape. Part of the Hurghada Marine Park and a protected natural reserve, its reefs are among the healthiest and most spectacular in the region, teeming with life that simply cannot be found closer to shore. The journey out by boat is spectacular in its own right, crossing open water of extraordinary clarity. Once arrived, the day unfolds in perfect leisure: snorkel over coral bommies hosting schools of hundreds of fish, laze on a beach of near-blinding white sand, or simply float face-down watching the reef theatre playing out beneath you. A day at Paradise Island restores something fundamental.
