Blanca Soma Bay 2026: Apartments, Villas & Cabana Prices
Blanca is one of Soma Bay's most complete master-planned communities, spanning hilltop apartments, Grand Cabanas and standalone villas. Here is the full 2026 breakdown of prices, payment plans, delivery dates and who each unit type suits best.
Blanca at a glance
Blanca is one of the most complete addresses inside Soma Bay, the gated 11-kilometre peninsula on Egypt's Red Sea coast. Rather than a single building, Blanca is a layered community: hilltop apartments with panoramic sea views, low-rise apartment clusters, generously sized Grand Cabanas, and standalone and twin villas. That spread means a first-time European buyer and a Gulf family looking for a beachfront villa can both find a home in the same master plan.
What makes Blanca stand out is the access it unlocks. Homeowners enjoy Soma Bay's sandy beaches, plus discounts across the peninsula's restaurants, cafes, hotels, schools and the Soma Bay Sports Arena Clubhouse. You are not just buying square metres; you are buying into a resort ecosystem anchored by seven hotels including Kempinski, Sheraton and Marriott.
Blanca prices & unit types (2026)
The headline Blanca community offers four core product lines. All prices below are current Axwell Properties figures and are quoted in Egyptian pounds with a euro guide so European buyers can plan around exchange rates.
| Unit type | Starting price (EGP) | Euro guide |
|---|---|---|
| 1-Bedroom Apartment | 20,900,000 | €354,000 |
| 2-Bedroom Grand Cabana | 69,000,000 | €1,170,000 |
| Twin Villa | 59,000,000 | €1,000,000 |
| Standalone Villa | 82,000,000 | €1,390,000 |
The apartments are the natural entry point and the most rental-friendly stock. Grand Cabanas and villas sit firmly in the luxury second-home and end-user bracket, with private outdoor space and proximity to the golf course and marina views that command Soma Bay's top resale prices.
Blanca Gardens 1: the affordable entry point
If the main Blanca pricing is above your budget, Blanca Gardens 1 is the more accessible sub-phase inside the same Soma Bay master plan. It focuses on one- and two-bedroom apartments plus three-bedroom long penthouses, all delivering in about three years.
| Unit type | Price (EGP) | Euro guide |
|---|---|---|
| 1-Bedroom Apartment | 15,900,000 | €270,000 |
| 2-Bedroom Apartment | 20,900,000 | €370,000 |
| 3-Bedroom Penthouse Long | 25,900,000 | €439,000 |
At €270,000, Blanca Gardens 1 is one of the most competitive ways to own inside a fully serviced Soma Bay community while still accessing the same beaches, golf and clubhouse benefits as the headline Blanca buyers.
Payment plans & delivery timeline
Blanca is sold off-plan, which means you secure today's price and spread payments across the build. If you are new to buying pre-completion, read our off-plan property guide for the Red Sea before you commit.

Because the phases hand over at different times, you can match your purchase to your timeline — a faster-delivering Grand Cabana for near-term use, or a longer-dated hilltop apartment to maximise the off-plan payment runway. Contact our team for the current down-payment and instalment structure on each phase.
Location & the Soma Bay lifestyle
Soma Bay sits roughly 45 kilometres south of Hurghada International Airport, giving Blanca owners easy access from European flight routes while staying away from the busier city. The peninsula is self-contained and gated, which is a major draw for second-home owners who want security and a managed environment.
What Blanca owners get access to
- 11 km shoreline with 5.5 km of sandy beaches
- 45-hole golf offering across the peninsula
- Marina berthing and waterfront promenades
- Thalasso spa and the Soma Bay Sports Arena Clubhouse
- Seven hotels incl. Kempinski, Sheraton & Marriott
- International schooling (Kompass & GEMS)
This infrastructure is exactly why Soma Bay commands a premium over general-market Hurghada stock. For a side-by-side on locations, see our Hurghada vs El Gouna vs Sahl Hasheesh comparison.
Investment outlook
Blanca's investment case rests on three pillars: branded resort demand, staged off-plan pricing, and the relative weakness of the Egyptian pound, which makes euro-denominated entry points unusually attractive. Apartments are the most liquid for resale and the easiest to place into short-let programmes.
Soma Bay's year-round sunshine and hotel-grade amenities support holiday rental demand across more of the calendar than colder European markets. To understand realistic returns and how management fees affect them, read our Egypt rental income guide and our broader Red Sea investment outlook for 2026.
Blanca vs other Soma Bay options
Blanca is not the only address worth weighing in Soma Bay. If golf and marina living are your priority at a lower entry point, compare it against Golf Town – Marina Edition, which starts from around €260,000. Buyers leaning toward a quieter, more private setting in neighbouring Sahl Hasheesh should also look at Soulferyo. Whichever direction you lean, our advisors can line up current price lists across all of them in a single call.
