Sea View Partners with U Hotels & Resorts to Manage Sahl Hasheesh Branded Residences
A Strategic Move in Sahl Hasheesh’s Growing Luxury Market
Sea View Development has signed a landmark management agreement with Absolute Hotel Services (AHS) — the regional operator of the internationally recognized U Hotels & Resorts brand — to manage and operate the U Residences & Hotel Sahl Hasheesh project on Egypt’s Red Sea coast.
The deal, signed by Sherif Roshdy, Chairperson of Sea View Development, and Kevork Deldelian, Managing Director of AHS Middle East & Africa, marks a significant milestone for the branded residences segment in Sahl Hasheesh — one of the Red Sea’s most sought-after luxury resort destinations.
What the Partnership Means
Under the agreement, U Hotels & Resorts will manage both the residential and hotel components of the project. Residential units will operate as branded residences, while the hotel will fly the U Hotels & Resorts flag. The operator will provide full hospitality and property management services, including housekeeping, security, facilities management, and operational support.
For investors, this creates a powerful dual-revenue model: owners can use their units for personal stays while making them available for professionally managed rentals during other periods. This hybrid approach — combining personal enjoyment with institutional-grade rental management — is exactly what international buyers are looking for in 2026.

Why This Matters for Investors
The branded residences market in Egypt is accelerating rapidly. In the past 12 months alone, we’ve seen major brands enter Sahl Hasheesh and the wider Red Sea corridor:
- U Hotels & Resorts — U Residences & Hotel Sahl Hasheesh (this deal)
- Rixos — Second resort in Hurghada (442 rooms, opened June 2026)
- Sofitel / Minor Hotels — 50-hotel expansion across Egypt
- Anantara — Debuting at Somabay on the Red Sea
Each new brand entry validates the same thesis: the Red Sea’s luxury hospitality infrastructure is reaching a tipping point that directly benefits property investors through higher rental yields, professional management, and long-term capital appreciation.
Sahl Hasheesh: A Premium Positioning
Sahl Hasheesh stands apart from other Red Sea destinations for several reasons:
- Master-planned community with controlled development standards
- 20 minutes from Hurghada International Airport — direct flights from Europe, Russia, and the Gulf
- 5-star resort corridor attracting international hotel brands
- Growing demand for branded residences — the sweet spot between luxury living and investment returns
With the Egyptian government continuing to invest in Red Sea infrastructure — including airport expansions and new road networks — the long-term outlook for property values in Sahl Hasheesh remains highly positive.
What MAMO Property Thinks
This partnership reinforces what we’ve been telling our clients for months: the Red Sea is no longer just a holiday destination — it’s an investment destination. When international hotel operators like AHS commit to managing branded residences, it signals institutional confidence in the market’s maturity.
For buyers looking at Sahl Hasheesh, the key advantage is clear: professionally managed properties consistently outperform self-managed units in both occupancy rates and rental yields. The U Hotels & Resorts brand brings international standards that will attract a global clientele.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I rent out my unit when I’m not using it?
Yes. The U Residences & Hotel Sahl Hasheesh model allows owners to place their units in a managed rental program. When you’re not staying in your property, it generates income through professionally managed short-term or long-term rentals.
Is Sahl Hasheesh a good investment area?
Sahl Hasheesh is one of the Red Sea’s most premium resort destinations. With multiple international hotel brands investing in the area, growing infrastructure, and proximity to Hurghada airport, property values have shown consistent appreciation.
