Ras Soma Compound Somabay

Ras Soma Compound Somabay: a 173 m² three-bedroom below the largest two-bedroom, and millions under its Somabay neighbours

Ras Soma Compound Somabay is a Travco resort in Somabay, between Hurghada and Safaga, published as about 55 km south of Hurghada airport. It is a full resort: a five-star international-chain hotel, a sandy beach of roughly 1.3 km and a marina. The developer sells everything from a one-bedroom flat to villas, all finished, on one plan: 5% down over seven years. It is split into three phases with their own pages, each holding different unit types, and most dates are announced for August and October 2030.

Ras Soma prices 2026

• Flats: 12,700,000 for one bedroom (70 m²); 17,500,000 to 21,500,000 for two (118 to 135 m²); 20,000,000 to 24,000,000 for three (173 m²).
• Two-level and rooftop units: two bedrooms in a 137 m² duplex for 19,900,000; three in a 149 m² penthouse for 21,000,000.
• Houses: three bedrooms in a 148 m² townhouse (25,500,000), four in a 188 m² twin (32,000,000), three in a 200 m² villa (44,000,000) and four in a 198 m² villa (46,130,000).

The three-bedroom is the cheapest metre

The 173 m² three-bedroom starts at 20 million, close to 115,600 a metre, the lowest in the resort. Coming from the smallest two-bedroom (118 m²), you pay just 2.5 million for 55 more metres, about 45,500 each. The largest two-bedroom, 135 m² at 21.5 million, asks 1.5 million over the cheapest three-bedroom while being 38 m² smaller. With a budget above 17.5 million, the three-bedroom is far clearer than any two-bedroom.

Penthouse, duplex and townhouse against the flat

The two-bedroom duplex (137 m²) at 19.9 million sits only 100,000 below the cheapest three-bedroom, which gives 36 more metres and one more room. The three-bedroom penthouse sells for 21 million on 149 m², a million over the 173 m² flat and 24 m² smaller. The three-bedroom townhouse (148 m²) costs 25.5 million, 5.5 million above the flat for less space, the price of land and a garden. On the penthouse, ask about roof size and view.

The one-bedroom is the dearest flat metre

Twelve point seven million for 70 m² puts the one-bedroom near 181,400 per metre, and stepping up to the smallest two-bedroom costs 4.8 million for 48 m², around 100,000 a metre. It suits someone after the smallest entry ticket to the resort, not someone counting metres.

Twin or villa?

Twin versus villa means 32 million for 188 m² and four bedrooms against 44 million for 200 m² and three: a fully detached house for 12 million more, 12 more metres and one fewer room. Marina Gate's 198 m² four-bedroom villa is 46.13 million, while Phase One's larger 237 m² four-bedroom villa costs 59 million but arrives much sooner. Ask about plot size and distance from the beach for each.

Ras Soma payment plans

• One-bedroom: 635,000 first, then roughly 143,600 a month.
• Smallest two-bedroom: 875,000 upfront, with near 197,900 monthly.
• Smallest three-bedroom: exactly one million down and about 226,200 each month.
• Townhouse: 1,275,000 to book, then some 288,400.
• Three-bedroom villa: 2,200,000 down, rising to around 497,600 monthly.

At handover

By October 2030, 48 of 84 months will have passed: the small two-bedroom buyer will have paid about 10.38 million, the small three-bedroom buyer 11.86, roughly three-fifths of the price, with just three years of instalments left. The term is short for prices this size, so the monthly is heavy; test it against income before the deposit. If you plan to let in season, ask about rental management and service charges.

Ras Soma's phases

• Phase Two: the flats, one to three bedrooms.
• Almaza Ras Soma - Marina Gate: the duplex, penthouse, townhouse, twin and the 198 m² four-bedroom villa.
• Phase One: the villas, among them a three-bedroom of 200 m² (44 million) and a four-bedroom of 237 m² (59 million) with keys in February 2028.

For a villa with early keys, Phase One holds one due more than two and a half years before the rest of the project.

Resale flats at Ras Soma

The owners' market is tiny, just two offers late in October 2026: one owner wants 16.5 million for a 173 m² three-bedroom, roughly 3.5 million beneath the developer's identical flat, and another 26.02 million or so for a four-bedroom chalet of 247 m². With four years still to go, the flat's figure most likely reflects what has been paid so far. Find out the unit's phase, the amount already paid and the balance before you compare anything.

Ras Soma, or Blanca Gardens and Greens Baywest Valley?

• Blanca Gardens, 2.8 km off, on 5% over eight years and due January 2029: its one-bedroom chalet is the same 70 m² yet costs 15.9 million, 3.2 million above Ras Soma's; three bedrooms there, on 185 m², run 25.9 million, roughly 5.9 million above Ras Soma for 12 more metres.
• Greens Baywest Valley, a kilometre away: two bedrooms on 106 m² cost 18.9 million and three on 171 m² cost 24.1 million, about 4.1 million above Ras Soma for similar space. Its two-bedroom twins start at 161 m² from 31 million, while Ras Soma's 188 m² four-bedroom twin is 32 million.
• Blanca and Mesca are dearer still, with two-bedrooms from 23.5 million and 28.2 million.

Ras Soma's flats undercut every neighbour in this comparison by 3 to 6 million. Ask about the difference: distance from the beach and marina, the hotel and the phase.

Red Sea or North Coast?

Compared with North Coast villages, a Somabay home can be used in winter as well as summer, so if you plan to let, ask about occupancy in those months. The airport and the drive from Cairo are longer, though. Ask yourself when you will use it, and ask the developer about year-round rental management and hotel occupancy, since that decides your return as an investor, along with the resort's yearly service charges.

Ras Soma location

As published, Ras Soma lies in Somabay between Hurghada and Safaga, about 55 km south of Hurghada airport.
