Following the announcement of the winners,  Alexi Khajavi, Managing Director of EMEA Hospitality + Travel Group, Questex said: “my sincere congratulations to both Grace Santorini and Fouka Bay, both innovative destinations and outstanding examples of leading resorts. We have been delighted to see significant interest in our awards this year with an increase both in the number of nominations and also the number of votes received compared to last year. Working closely with operators, developers and investors throughout this process has demonstrated the real appetite in this area of real estate and I’m looking forward to welcoming the winners and all those involved in this sector to our event next month.”

“We are honored to receive such recognition from this prestigious body. Fouka Bay on the North Coast of Egypt is the result of a driving ambition by Tatweer Misr to create the best upscale resort for families in the region," Ahmed Shalaby, CEO and Managing Director of Tatweer Misr said in a statement on being announced as a winner. "For the diverse partnering firms involved in this project, and for me, Fouka Bay is a very meaningful project; it represents a new approach, one that is built on the aspiration of building value for our guests and owners alike. Tatweer Misr is strongly continuing its development of other iconic mixed used developments in Egypt including our flagship project Il Monte Galala in Sokhna which will be opening in the coming year and most recently Bloomfields in Cairo.”

Commenting on the award results, Lena Livanidou, Head of Europe, Grace Hotels said: “We are thrilled that Grace Santorini has been voted Top Mediterranean Resort 2018. To win such an accolade is testament to the continuous hard work of each and every colleague towards creating a memorable experience for our guests.
