• Residents can reach Abu Tig Marina — one of the region's most prestigious yacht harbours and leisure destinations — within just a few minutes
• Close to the Downtown area, home to many of El Gouna's essential services, retail outlets, and medical and educational facilities
• A short distance of approximately 40 kilometres from Hurghada International Airport
• Approximately 5 hours by car from Cairo

Architectural Design and Area of Art Island Orascom El Gouna

Art Island El Gouna spans a total area of 48,000 square meters. The developer made optimal use of this expansive site, dedicating the largest share to green spaces and open artificial lagoons, while keeping the built-up footprint of residential units to a minimum — reducing density and ensuring greater tranquility and privacy throughout the project. Art Island offers a curated collection of luxury villas with refined designs that appeal to discerning buyers and attract serious investors.

• The design of Art Island El Gouna is built on the architectural philosophy of the private island, with the master plan positioning the residential clusters surrounded by water on every side.
• Orascom developed the project around a contemporary style in harmony with the surrounding tropical landscape — a striking approach known as Biophilic Design. Building façades are defined by simplicity and elegance, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows offering clearer views over the sweeping crystal lagoons, along with an enhanced sense of spaciousness and abundant natural light for a calming, restorative atmosphere.
• Units at Art Island are spaced generously apart, ensuring maximum comfort and privacy for residents and providing space for complete relaxation, away from crowding, amid a collection of luxury waterfront villas.
