Jaz Aquamarine Resort
The ancient Egyptians are known for their natural healing remedies, so what better way to celebrate them than by experiencing some of their treatments in their own lands. With Mividaspa offering the opportunity to do just that, you can experience signature treatments, Pharaonic massage techniques, and local natural products, such as black seed oil and Egyptian loofahs.
It doesn’t stop there; enjoy mud wraps and detoxifying masks, Egyptian body scrubs, relaxation massages, and you can even start your treatment with one of their jet-lag recovery treatments.
With the resort itself boasting an outdoor terrace area, jacuzzi, sauna, and perfectly decorated rooms, it offers the best place to relax after a busy day of enjoying everything the Red Sea has to offer.

That’s not all
If you’re not looking to stay in a spa or wellness resort, that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the relaxing goodness. With yoga and meditation classes taking place with panoramic Red Sea views, many resorts offer this within their own territory, or you can take private classes which are available across Hurghada.
Desert wellness retreats are becoming popular, and with the natural beauty on offer, it is silly to think that it is not being taken advantage of. The Ancient Egyptians believed in natural power, and this is abundant in the desert plains amongst the stars and the mountains.
Another new trend is floating spa boats. Take peace and serenity to a whole new level by getting a massage whilst floating on the waves of the Red Sea.
Of course, this is weather-dependent and also for those who love the sea as much as being pampered.
Egyptian Medicine
Ancient Egyptians believed in all kinds of natural medicine, and this is infused within the spa resorts throughout Hurghada. The programmes designed with relaxation and rest in mind are also focused on rejuvenation and rebuilding – if you are suffering with any medical conditions or pains, it is recommended to mention this to the therapists on hand, as there is probably a natural remedy available to help you achieve maximum comfort.
Hurghada may be famous for diving and sunbathing, but it's quickly gaining a reputation as one of Egypt’s top wellness destinations. With a mix of traditional therapies, modern spa treatments, and stunning natural surroundings, it’s the ideal place to disconnect from the chaos and reconnect with yourself.
