Umbi Sharks Bay Diving Village in Sharm el Sheikh

I stayed at Umbi Sharks Bay Diving Village for a night of rest before my morning flight from Sharm El Sheikh, and it was a great choice.
The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained.
The staff were welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. The village has a wonderful, laid-back atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and unwind.
The breakfast was delicious and offered a great variety of options.
the Wi-Fi was stable and fast.
One of the best perks is the complimentary shuttle to the airport. It made my departure completely stress-free and smooth.
Bottom line: This place offers great value, excellent service, and a peaceful environment. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in Sharm, especially if you need easy access to the airport.

This was my first visit to Sharm ElSheikh and we chose Umbi Sharks Bay
The place is in the middle of Sharm where you can easily get a car and go anywhere in 15-20 minutes. It’s on a cliff overlooking the sea, offering breathtaking views. We booked a triple room which was on the higher levels of the hotel where you can see most of the place from the top. The only issue was that the room did not have Wifi and inconsistency in getting hot water in the bathroom to shower.
The walk to the beach was a minute away offering food and drinks from their inclusive restaurant. The service and the team there are amazing, kind and super friendly. We also booked parasailing and a snorkelling trip through them and they were really organised and punctual.

I would recommend this place to anyone seeking privacy, relaxation, and delicious food. My room had a very large balcony and a stunning sea view. The interior was made of natural stone and wood, and antique Egyptian artifacts hung on the walls. The wide bed had a very comfortable mattress, just right for those with back problems. The pillows were also comfortable. The room had a hot shower and air conditioning, a refrigerator, and a TV. Cleaning was regular and thorough. I'd also like to mention the restaurant: I had breakfast and dinner included. Breakfast was very good. There was always fresh fruit salad, omelette, yogurt, pastries, different types of cheese, feta, coffee, and tea. The waiter personally served a glass of fresh water every morning. Dinner was restaurant-style. They bring a menu from which you can choose two dishes plus dessert, which they prepare fresh on the spot and serve beautifully. The hotel staff is very polite and attentive. The work is well organized and coordinated between the staff. They're clean and treat every visitor with the utmost respect. They allow you to swim from jetty to jetty and even further.

We had a pleasant and relaxing stay at Umbi Sharks Bay Diving Village. We had a quiet room with a great view of the sea. The food at the restaurant was varied and quite good and drinks were very reasonably priced. The staff were also very polite and helpful. We did five days of diving from the boat and throughly enjoyed both the dives and the atmosphere on the boats. Again the dive guides were mostly friendly and helpful and the dive equipment was in relatively good condition. If you book an airport transfer be sure to remind them because they didn't show up for us and another few guests.

Perfect spot for snorkeling & diving – everything right on your doorstep!
I stayed at Umbi Sharks Bay Diving Village in Sharm El Sheikh and absolutely loved it!
The coral reef is right in front of the beach, full of colorful fish — ideal for snorkeling directly from the shore, without any extra fees or transfers.

The resort has its own diving center (PADI certified) and private jetty, so you can easily go diving straight from the hotel. The beach area is comfortable, with umbrellas, sunbeds, and soft mattresses.

There’s also a water sports center (banana rides, parasailing, etc.), massage area (highly recommended!), and various excursions around Sinai.
The food was tasty and varied, the accommodation clean and cozy, and the staff exceptionally kind and helpful.

If you want to enjoy snorkeling or scuba diving without leaving your hotel — this is the perfect place.
Highly recommended!

Umbi scuba review - 6 on 5

Sites - Phenomenal. Dense forests of multi courled corals, teeming with varied vibrant marine life. A white-tip, multitudes of rays, baraccudas, and shoals of dazzling lights! Great visibility and cool waters.

Dives - True pros. Mohammed leads his dive team and the dive with ease and calm control. He was really good to dive with. It was also fun to dive in a group of experienced divers helmed cooly by Mohammed.

Team - The onboard team are stars. The captain must have steered on different waters 🏄🏼! The crew cheerfully ever-helpful, thank you 🙏🏼! The lunches were yum 👌🏼! The hotel and dive center managed the reservation and check-ins seamlessly. The equipment is also in very good shape.

Thank you for a couple of very memorable days!!

Took 4 day trips out on their boat Freedom hubby went diving and I snorkelled. Hubby said Diving was brilliant. Great guides and lovely locations., he had a lovely time with Sharkey and Mohammed. I loved my snorkelling. They looked after me really well as I was alone. Had the rib next to me and captain watching. Samir cooked us gorgeous lunches everyday. The boats really well set up for diving but it’s also really comfortable for lounging around. Definitely coming back to stay with them next time. Thanks Mina for the birthday gift ❤️😊

I stayed at the Umbi Sharks Bay Diving Village Hotel from May 10th to 17th 2025. I had an excellent time there. The food was very good, and the rooms were also perfectly fine. The staff were warm and welcoming. They went above and beyond by kindly sending my dive logbook back to France and even took photos of each page for me. I highly recommend this hotel.

We went diving in the Red Sea with Mohammad and our son still raves about how much fun he had diving with him. He really went above and beyond. I went diving once with him in the crystal clear water and saw an eagle ray and he completed the dive with our son who is an advanced diver and they went diving the following day as well. I stayed on the yacht, no complaints here! No experience here in Florida has compared to the time and friendly service provided by Mohammad; we really felt the camaraderie. The yacht and the lunch made on board was wonderful and the Umbi resort is beautiful on its own. Bedouin owned and run, with the Sinai mountains as a surreal backdrop. The only way to enter Sharm el-Sheikh is by plane and it is definitely worth the extra flight from Cairo.
