Great place, great resort, great food, best help and service, fabulous weather, excellent training facilities. Recommended for a training camp or relaxing holidays.
As a coach, I have already planned and carried out training camps with Active Planet on several occasions. It was always great! Active Planet does everything possible to make sure we are well taken care of. Should any problems arise, they are dealt with very quickly. I can recommend it to everyone!
We have now completed 3 training camps with Active Planet and it was top every time, both Hurghada (2023) and Soma Bay (2025) and Sharm El Sheikh (2026). Our go-to address for warm-weather training courses with top athletes.
We organized a Swim training camp in Sharm with Active Planet, and the experience exceeded all expectations. The service was outstanding in every respect, from the quality of the on-site assistance to the seamless organization throughout. A special mention goes to our contact person, Diana, whose remote support was truly exceptional. She managed every request with remarkable speed, precision, and care, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free.
