This was our 3rd trip to El Gouna but the first time in a villa and what an enjoyable experience we had! Our family loved this beautiful villa, having breakfast and lunch in the sunshine on the patio by the pool and chilled evenings under the pergola with a shisha. The airport pick up arranged through Ed went smoothly and we had a great welcome from Nasser upon arrival at the spacious and well equipped villa. The pool was a lovely temperature and well attended as were the grounds. We walked into downtown on the first night (about 20 minutes) but then made full use of the tuk tuk service (a bargain at 40LE for the 5 of us) and visited several restaurants and bars around downtown and the marina. With 2 days of boat diving and 4 days of relaxation our week went by far too quick so we look forward to making a return visit in the not too distant future. Thank you Ed and Nasser!

Villa Saluma is as nice as the pictures depict. We had a wonderful holiday from the moment we arrived to the time we left. We arranged transfers through the villa owner Ed and were met at the airport with no problem. We have visited El Gouna many times, staying in various villas in both West Golf and South Marina, and villa Saluma is right up there with the best. West Golf and South Marina both have plusses and minuses. South Marina is well placed for walking to both downtown and the marina, but has no views, and most villas are overlooked by apartments. West Golf is a little further out and outside of walking distance to downtown and the marina for us. Villa Saluma makes up for this with lagoons front and rear and a beautidul view over the golf course. The fact it is a little further out really isn't a problem as it is very easy to phone either a taxi or tuk-tuk from the vilaa. Just a point of note for parties of four (as we were). With the recent rise in the fare for tuk-tuks it is now half the price for 4 people by taxi (20LE) as opposed to 40LE for two tuk-tuks. The villa is well appointed with all you need to make your stay relaxing. The pool is excellent, clean and well maintained, something that has sometimes been a problem at some villas we have stayed at. Our favourite spot, especially in the evenings, was the thatched pergola by the pool. After dining we would return to villa, grab drinks, and chill under the pergola. We spent some very late nights under there, including sitting up to watch the sunrise. Ed (and Luke) corresponded with us very well and frequently, from our initial enquiry through to booking and departure. The local agent Nasser (and Emad) are excellent and can't do enough for you. We had an issue with the telephone and wifi during the first week but this was quickly resolved by Emad. If it's your first visit to El Gouna you will find lots of nice restaurants both downtown and at the marina. Two that we particularly enjoyed on this visit were The Orient in lower downtown, and Breeze in the marina. If you go to Breeze on a Sunday it is best to phone and reserve a table as it is Karaoke night and can get busy, but it's great fun. I perhaps shouldn't say this in case Ed reads it, but Villa Saluma is excellent value for money given the pricing. We would certainly book again.

This holiday location has it all! El Gouna is a paradise on earth and the villa makes you feel you are the queen of El Gouna! This is the second time we have been here and just like the first time, everything had been arranged perfectly. If we needed anything, we just called N. and he arranged it. He made us feel so welcome. Thanks a lot!! For those who have never been here: the pictures are exactly how it is! Just perfect! I have read that El Gouna is the Italian Venice of Egypt. That is true as far as the water is concerned, but El Gouna is much cleaner, safer and much more beautiful. If you don't want to relax all day in the villa, or at the beach, or on a terrace, you can enjoy so many activities in El Gouna, like playing golf, diving, snorkeling, kite surfing, jeep safari in the desert, too many things to mention. If you want something unique, you have found the right place!

Overall the Villa was very lovely and can not be faulted. However, the pool was very cold and the children were really looking forward to getting into the pool. Once the pool was heated it took two days for the temperature to be right. So I felt that we had missed out on two days in the pool. There was no brush or mop to clean up, the villa had almost everything except a brush and a mop. I did ask Naseer (local agent who looks after the villa) but did not get a respond back from him. Overall would recommend this villa to anyone looking for a nice time.

La villa est magnifique et agréable . Nous avons vécu une semaine idéale avec une piscine parfois trop chaude mais tres bien entretenue , nous remercions aussi N'asservit pour sa disponibilité et sa gentillesse' grande envie de revenir

Just arrived home after 9 nights in Villa Saluma and highly recommend this villa. Ed and Nasser couldn't have been more helpful. We loved the outside space and pool, which was cleaned and tested daily. There are wonderful restaurants close by via tuk tuk or taxi, our favourites were La Luna and Chez Pascal. Cooking in the villa was very easy, everything you need is there. All in all we had a lovely holiday. Thank you Ed and Nasser

Villa Saluma is probably the best deal you can find in El Gouna for a group up to 6. We stayed in the first week of February and everything was perfect. The driver arranged by Mr. Visser, the owner, was waiting for us at the airport and drove to the villa, where Nasser welcame us with a smile and cold water in the fridge, which was really appreciated since it was 3 am when our flight landed. The day after, the swimming pool technician came and in one day, the water was at 24 ºC, one day later, at 26 ºC and the rest of the week at 28 ºC, making the use of the pool a pleasure. The villa has everything you need for your stay, from sunloungers to towels, from TV set to magazines, and a very well catered kitchen, with microwave and classic oven, dishwasher and washing machine. Having breakfast and lunch at the table in front of the swimming pool rocks! The villa is located in a very quiet area in front of the golf court, but calling (for free) a TukTuk or a taxi will put you in any area of El Gouna in minutes. I´d definitely recommend this property to anyone willing to enjoy El Gouna and a relaxed and stylish holidays, and it´ll be my first option if going back there for my third time.

This was our third visit to El Gouna and was our favourite so far! The villa was stunning - especially the beautiful view from the back! Every e-mail we sent to Ed was answered swiftly and comprehensively and everything was organised beautifully! Nasser was a total credit to the villa and helped to make our stay incredible! He quite simply could not do enough for us and it was a pleasure to meet him. We also went on several trips which Nasser helped organise through Fun Days which included dolphins, scuba diving and quad biking - amazing!!!! Overall, Ed, Nasser and Villa Saluma gave us the totally relaxing, stress free family holiday that our family really needed! Thank you all so very much😃

Thank you for the best Holiday we have had in El Gouna. Everything about your Villa made our holiday a fantastic one! From the first email we sent to Ed to the last when checking out, Ed had everything sorted for us to make our holiday as smooth as possible. Mr Nasser is also a credit to the Villa, anything we needed we just dropped him a message and it was sorted immediately. The villa over all is just beautiful, Ed and his wife have put a lot of thought in to the theme of the villa and made it a home from home, we loved sitting under the Pergola of an evening when the sun went down. I would highly recommend this Villa to anyone that wants 5* luxury at a very affordable price in beautiful El Gouna, trust me, you won't want to go home! Thanks once again to Ed and his wife!

Well maintained villa which is suitable for a family of 4-6 members. The kids especially enjoyed the heated pool. It makes it a well-suited destination in Winter just as in Summer. This is the second time for my family to book this villa. I noticed the enhancement in Wi-Fi service with the new access point for outdoor use. We have every intention to book the house again for future vacations in Gouna.

We stayed for a week in this beautiful Villa and had a really great time and here's why : 1- The location :The villa is a 3 to 7 minutes drive from anywhere in Gouna. 2- Interior : All clean and tidy as shown on-line if anything even better.( Flat T.V with European and Egyptian satellites ( Paid channels included such as National geographic, E , Movie channels and many more ) 3- Exterior : Absolutely amazing, the garden, the pool ( u can set it's temperature to your liking !) and the sandy beach ( lagoon ). 4- All kinds of cuisines and food are just a free phone call away! just use the land-line to call any restaurant in El Gouna , most of them would deliver within 20 minutes. It's a great place and privacy is guaranteed except for the maintenance that has to be done to the pool and garden on daily basis but even that takes place early in the morning and it doesn't take long. I had a problem with the pool heater and so had to call Nile water the company maintaining the pool. They were very helpful and they fixed the problem in less than an hour even though it was night time. Everything is great about this place.

Words aren't enough to express how amazing the property is. It's simply heaven on earth.  It's beauty lies in its simplicity.  The property is beautifully located with a splendid view, you can enjoy the amazing view of both lagoons, a superb quiet and peaceful atmosphere. It has everything you need. Privacy was an important factor which helped making our stay enjoyable. It is Very clean, neat, spacious and very well mentained and has all the entertainment needed. You simply dont need to bring along anything..except your music :) other than that the property is at your service. Perfect location to downtown's hot spots. Resturants, night life bars and pubs. Check out the schedule for parties and concerts in Downtown and the Marina. Transportation was never an issue, you have limo services 24/7 around the clock with very good affordable prices. Also tok-tok and taxis. Supermarkets has almost everything you might want in terms of fresh food and drinks imported and local in addition to any extra house supplies needed. If you can't go by yourself, no worries they deliver and so does some of the food restaurants. Ed the owner was extremely helpful, friendly and cooperative, promptly replies back to inquiries, he made sure to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The agent was really helpful too always present to insure we have everything required. I would definitely recommend the property to friends and family and anyone who wishes to spend a lifetime quality time.  Unfortunately though we didn't stay for long, but Will make sure that it's not our last time there. It's definitely to be an annual visit. 

We stayed for 6 night at the villa and had a wonderful time there. The villa itself is well maintained and feels very homy and comfortable. The pool with a lake view is just spectacular and makes for an amazing and relaxing view. The logistics of getting the keys and paying then checking out was all handled extremely effortlessly. Would definitely recommend this villa to anyone and will certainly be looking to returning to it if staying in Gouna again.

We really did enjoy very much our stay for (3) nights in Saluma Villa ... The place is located in the most elegant area (West Golf/ El-Gouna). Private, and attractive atmospherer full of all kind of relaxtion, distinguishing and simplicity. The villa contains everything you could need. Only you don't have except bringing your personal stuff... It would also be perfect and romantic enough for honey mooners:). You don't need to go outside to eat or drink, because it's really amazing to have your beakfast, lunch and dinner at the pool having a natural view of greens and lake.. Thus, before we have left, we asked for anoher coming booking. The owners are so organized, helpful and respectful, they facilitate everything to make you satisfied and enjoy your stay there. Saluma Villa was one of the best experiences that we had:)

We stayed in the Villa for almost two weeks and we did enjoy it very much. Elgouna is a wonderful place to enjoy a relaxing vacation. Everything is well planned and well managed The Villa has almost everything we need. We only wished the pool is heated so we can fully utilize it especially in December. Other than this, everything was perfect.

Could not possibly say enough good things regarding this property. The villa itself was absolutely gorgeous, large and beautifully landscaped. It, the grounds, and the pool were very well maintained and spotless upon our arrival. Though it was just the two of us during our stay, this would be an ideal option for families or groups of friends looking to get away together. The three bedrooms were all very good size and well appointed and the bedding provided both clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with ample cooking utensils already provided. The villa has a nice natural flow to it and felt very light, open, and airy with a very warm decor that was welcoming. There were many nice outdoor seating options as well. The view from the balconies was lovely with the lagoon so close to the pool. We were rather pleased with the location of the villa. It was far enough away from the restaurant and shop areas to be peaceful, yet close enough to be in the thick of it all in very short order, either by car, tok-tok, bus, or a short walk. There was no shortage of places to eat or shopping to be done in El Gouna, though the restaurants in the Marina area seemed to be the most expensive, but gave the nicest views. There is at least one grocery store in each of the main areas of El Gouna, so eating in a few nights is always an option. When getting around, there are ample signs to the beaches and an information center available if you're looking to plan snorkeling, fishing, boat trips, or other activities. Many of the dive shops also have information posted right outside their shops as to when their trips depart and prices. The owner of the villa, Ed, was absolutely helpful. He was quick to answer any questions and prompt with emails. The local agent, who opened the villa for us, was also quite helpful and friendly-making the business end of the stay quite smooth and completely painless. I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in the El Gouna area. The stay was far superior to a stay in a stiff, clone-roomed hotel. There was a homey like feeling staying at the villa that added to the enjoyment of the trip to be sure. This is truly an great place and at a wonderful value. I will definitely be looking to rent this property again upon future visits to El Gouna and will be recommending to family and friends as well.
