Sharm Inn Amarein

Best described as boutique, this attractive property has incorporated traditional architecture and designs and placed them around attractively landscaped gardens with a large pool deck to create a relaxed ambience.

Modern style upstairs bar contrasts vividly with the outdoor a la carte restaurant adorned with various fishing and farming implements – there’s even an incorporated waterwheel. Suited particularly to adults although families will appreciate its quiet location.

Exterior

A neat lawned garden with shrubbery and palms separates the property from the generally quiet main road from which a cobbled u-shaped set down area leads to the bright white facaded double-height main building. On the lower-level, there are arched windows adding to the Moorish design. Wide, granite marble effect stairs lead up to the triple width wooden-doored entrance.

Interior

Unique double tier design lobby with light-coloured tile flooring, pink walls and a curved mosaic glass ceiling. Gold-coloured columns support the upper-levels beyond which is an attractive rock formation with trickling water surrounded by an integral internal shrubbery.

The long terracotta effect reception counter stands to the side of an Internet station. On the lower-level there are clusters of soft cushioned armchairs and sofas while upstairs, reached by covered stairway, is an attractive bar with snooker table and windows overlooking the grounds.

The restaurant is accessed from outside and style has not been forgotten here with cobbled effect flooring and brown tiles together with floor to ceiling windows and round backed wooden framed chairs at the predominantly rectangular tables.

Grounds

Situated in 2-storey wings that mainly surrounds the central garden area. Attractive decor of terracotta terraces and balconies with intricate Moorish mosaics in an otherwise white facade.

Beyond the shisha tent deeper into the gardens there is a second restaurant with outdoor seating surrounded by various farming implements and a water wheel. The spa and gymnasium are reached by a flight of stairs below the reception area.
