ARC of Soma offers a range of residential suites, cabanas and duplex units on an elevated site at the tip of the Somabay peninsula. The project relies on wide sea views and glass-fronted designs, with the buildings arranged in tiers to preserve views and privacy between units.
The project includes more than one residential release: some units face the sea and others overlook the golf course or the lagoon. The sales team pins down the release and the unit's exact position, because the name ARC of Soma alone does not tell you the type of view or the distance to the beach.

Location of ARC of Soma within Somabay
The project sits at the tip of the Somabay peninsula, in a relatively elevated area that offers views of the sea and the natural expanse around the site. Residents benefit from being close to the beach and the golf areas, with access to the marina, hotels and services via the internal road network.
Somabay lies on the Red Sea coast between Hurghada and Safaga, about 45 km from Hurghada International Airport. This location lets you use the unit for holidays or for longer stays during the year.

Design of the ARC of Soma project
The design is built on stepped architectural forms and wide glass façades, letting natural light in and opening the living areas onto the terraces and outdoor views. The way the buildings are arranged also helps reduce mutual view obstruction between units.
Views vary according to the project's release:
- Sea-facing units.
- Lagoon Edition units.
- Suites overlooking the golf course.
- Elevated units that benefit from the open scenery.
- Cabanas close to the water and relaxation areas.

Types of ARC of Soma units
One-bedroom cabanas
Cabana sizes start from around 71 m², with a bedroom, a living area, a kitchen and one or two bathrooms depending on the design, plus a terrace.
Some cabanas overlook the lagoon and others face the golf course, which makes the view and location key factors in setting the price.
Residential suites
Some golf suites start from around 73 m², while the larger suites reach roughly 152 m² with three bedrooms.
The smaller units suit a single person or a couple, while the large suites provide suitable space for family living and hosting guests.
Duplex units
Duplex sizes range roughly between 139 and 145 m² in some models, with larger units reaching around 233 m².
The reception and sleeping areas are spread over two levels, and the unit may offer larger outdoor spaces and a more open view, but you should take the stairs into account for family use.
Grand Suites
Some of the large suites reach around 151 or 152 m², with three bedrooms, living and dining areas and a terrace. They suit a family that wants family-sized space without taking on the cost and responsibilities of a standalone villa.

Investing in ARC of Soma
The smaller units can be suitable for seasonal rental because they are easy to furnish and sit within an established tourist destination. The suites and duplexes, on the other hand, appeal to families who need a longer stay and more space.
The viability of the investment depends on:
- The purchase price once the cost of the instalments is added.
- How clear the view is and whether it is protected from obstruction.
- The terrace area.
- The level of furniture and fit-out.
- Maintenance and management fees.
- Competition from other hotel and residential units.
- Ease of access to the beach and services.
