| A standard room in the Four Seasons Resort, Sharm el Sheikh |
Note that they don't even call it a hotel. This Four Seasons, a new addition to an exclusive group renowned for superlative service, lies amid majestic limestone cliffs as a self-contained village, cascading down a hillside to the sea below.
Here you can luxuriate in maximum indolence, pampered at every whim, in rooms and suites out of a film set.
But indolence - a close relative of relaxation - need not be the only reason for a visit here.
Go out on one of the resort boats into the sparkling aquamarine Red Sea (no, it's not red) and dive into the warm waters to view the wondrous corals and dramatic vibrant fish of every colour and hue.

| Diving in the Red Sea |
If you fancy learning to scuba dive, you can take courses in the resort. Or more simply just snorkel and see the incredible underwater world beneath you. You can water-ski, parasail or windsurf or laze by one of the many pools.
Sharm, as it is known, is renowned as one of the world's premier dive destinations and for sun lovers it boasts 365 days of sunshine a year. Downing Street tries to keep it secret, but it is a place beloved of Tony Blair and family.
Don't let that deter you, because you needn't go at the same time. It is also a place visited by royalty, presidents and film stars but in the Four Seasons Resort there is no distinction between Joe Bloggs from
Essex, Bill Clinton, Julia Roberts, President Mubarak of Egypt and King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia (except the latter two may have superior suites - it's only 9,000 dollars a night for the royal one).
