Lahami Bay Beach Resort and Gardens

Lahami Bay is the pick for the very youngest, and it earns that by geography. It sits on a private bay with kilometres of sand and a reef running parallel a few hundred metres offshore, which acts as a natural breakwater. The result is exactly what parents of toddlers dream about: a wide, calm, sandy-bottomed lagoon that stays shallow a long way out, sloping so gently that a two-year-old can walk and splash without ever being out of their depth. The honest cost is the drive, this is the far south, a long transfer from the airport with nothing around it but desert and sea. Come for the bay, stay for the quiet.
Our verdict
The clearest choice on this list for babies and toddlers, thanks to a rare shallow sandy lagoon, if you can accept the long transfer and the remoteness. Older children get a huge house reef into the bargain.
The rooms
Low-rise rooms spread through big green gardens, most on the ground floor with a terrace opening onto lawn, which is genuinely handy with a crawling baby. Family rooms take two adults and two children, and the sprawling, single-storey layout means no lifts and easy pram access. It is a comfortable older resort rather than a designer one, kept up rather than reinvented.

Parents also ask
Is the water really shallow enough for a toddler?
Yes, and it is the reason to choose Lahami Bay. The reef sits offshore and shelters the bay, so the sandy seabed slopes very gently and stays shallow a long way out. It is about as close to a natural paddling pool as the Red Sea gets. Water shoes are still worth wearing, and small children always need an adult within arm's reach.
How long is the transfer from the airport?
Plan on two hours or more each way, as the resort is well south of Marsa Alam town on the Berenice road. It is the main downside, so it suits a longer stay rather than a short break, and families with a baby should organise the transfer, snacks and water before leaving the terminal.

Jaz Maraya Resort
Modern, spacious family rooms designed for two adults and two children, most with a balcony and a bathtub, which is a real plus with little ones. The layout is genuinely built for families rather than retrofitted, and the newer feel shows in the finishes. Cots are free but should be requested at booking, and a handful of rooms connect if you need more space.

Hilton Marsa Alam Nubian Resort
Large, Nubian-styled rooms in low terraced blocks stepping down towards the sea, most with a balcony or terrace and enough room for a cot without moving furniture. Family rooms and connecting options work for four, and the resort is big enough that it pays to ask for a room near the pools and the kids club rather than at the far end. Cots are free on request.

Concorde Moreen Beach Resort and Spa
Spacious rooms in low buildings set in lush gardens, most with a balcony or terrace, and a genuine sense of green and space around them. Family rooms take two adults and two children, and connecting doubles help larger groups. There are two children's pools among the four, one heated in winter, so the little ones are well served close to the rooms. Cots are free on request.
