Mövenpick Resort El Quseir

Situated along the serene shores of Egypt’s Red Sea, Mövenpick Resort El Quseir is a distinguished example of how premium hospitality can be flawlessly integrated with environmental and social responsibility. Established in 1995, the resort is renowned not only for its authentic Nubian architecture and breathtaking marine setting, but also for its long-standing commitment to sustainability and community engagement.

In 2025, the resort was honored with the International Sustainability Awards—a recognition of its comprehensive approach to reducing environmental impact and fostering positive local development. As a ten-time Green Globe Platinum certified property, Mövenpick El Quseir has consistently demonstrated excellence in sustainable operations, resource efficiency, and ecological stewardship.

The resort’s sustainability strategy encompasses a wide range of initiatives. These include the complete elimination of single-use plastics, the introduction of BRITA filtration systems paired with refillable glass bottles, and the operation of an on-site organic farm that supplies fresh produce to its restaurants while minimizing supply chain emissions. Food waste is transformed into compost via a GREENGOOD unit and used to nourish local crops, closing the loop on resource use.

Energy and water conservation are core priorities. Through advanced technologies such as a Building Management System (BMS), LED lighting, and water-efficient fixtures, the resort tracks and optimizes its environmental performance with precision. Key metrics include CO₂ emissions, kilowatt-hours per room, liters of water consumed per night, and composted waste volume.

Marine conservation also plays a central role. Mövenpick El Quseir partners with EXTRA DIVERS and employs an in-house marine biologist to implement coral restoration projects, conduct underwater cleanups, and raise guest awareness about the fragile marine ecosystem. Onshore, the resort supports educational programs, charity partnerships, and local development initiatives including donations to orphanages and public schools.

With a strategic vision for 2030 focused on carbon reduction, renewable energy, and deeper community collaboration, Mövenpick Resort El Quseir continues to lead by example. It represents a compelling model for sustainable tourism, where environmental integrity, social impact, and guest experience converge to create lasting value.
