Naama Bay Resort Naama Bay Sharm El-Sheikh

The Resort & Its Setting

Naama Bay Resort is an independent timeshare property located directly in Naama Bay, Sharm El-Sheikh's most recognisable beach district in South Sinai, Egypt. It isn't part of a major international timeshare brand, though it does hold RCI affiliation, meaning owners can tap into RCI's exchange network when they want a change of scenery. For anyone weighing up a purchase or a resale, it's worth being clear-eyed about this: you're buying into a standalone resort with its own management and owners' association, not a branded chain with a global reservations system behind it.

Naama Bay and South Sinai

Naama Bay itself is a long-established tourist strip, built up over decades into one of Sharm El-Sheikh's main hubs for dining, nightlife and water-based activities. The bay's waters are known for coral reefs close to shore, making it a popular base for snorkelling straight off the beach. A short drive away, the Old Market (Souk) in Sharm El-Sheikh offers a more traditional Egyptian shopping experience — spices, textiles, and handicrafts — a contrast to the resort strip itself. Further afield, Ras Mohammed National Park is the main draw for serious divers and snorkellers, with some of the Red Sea's best-known reef systems and a protected coastline good for walking as well as diving. Sharm El-Sheikh International Airport is close enough to make arrivals and departures straightforward, which matters both for owners visiting their week and for any renters you might host.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Naama Bay Resort and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct owner-to-buyer marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and interested buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers, and that's it.

Because this is an independent resort rather than a branded one, resale here is typically handled through Naama Bay Resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a centralised corporate transfer desk. Before agreeing a price with any buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort what the current transfer fee is and what the annual maintenance fee stands at — these figures aren't standardised across independent resorts and can change, so get confirmation in writing rather than relying on what a previous owner paid. Ask, too, how long the transfer process usually takes once a sale is agreed, since this varies resort by resort.

A resale buyer should expect to receive the timeshare interval and, where applicable, continued RCI affiliation for exchange purposes — but they should not assume they're inheriting any loyalty points, promotional perks, or prior owner benefits that aren't written into the resort's own transfer terms. If RCI exchange access matters to you as a buyer, confirm with the resort or RCI directly that the affiliation carries over cleanly on resale.

For renters, the main appeal of a week here is straightforward: a beachfront location in a well-known Red Sea resort area, with snorkelling, diving and the Naama Bay dining and entertainment scene all within easy reach. Owners renting out a week should be upfront about what's included — unit size, view, and whether any resort fees are the renter's responsibility.

Practical Notes

Sharm El-Sheikh runs on a tourism economy well used to international visitors, so English is widely spoken around Naama Bay, and the practicalities of travel — airport transfers, dining, excursions — are well established. A valid passport is required for entry to Egypt, and visa requirements should be checked ahead of travel since they can change. The cooler months, roughly October through April, offer the most comfortable climate for beach time and reef exploration, which is also when demand for weeks here tends to be strongest from a renter's perspective.
