Designed by the visionary team at JT+Partners, Tawila Island Resort is a masterclass in blending luxury with organic aesthetics — an ethos brought to life through the exquisite application of TREND Group’s innovative materials…
Set on the pristine shores of the Red Sea, Tawila Island Resort in Hurghada, Egypt, is a sanctuary of contemporary design seamlessly integrated with its natural surroundings.
The interiors of Tawila Island Resort evoke a sense of refined serenity, achieved through a thoughtful selection of textures and tones. At the heart of this aesthetic are the Karma glass mosaics from TREND, used to adorn the walls of the guest rooms and suites. Showcasing the newest Verses 2 from the INFINITE Collection, these mosaics capture the beauty of organic variation, creating a fluid interplay of light and shadow. The iconic Subway Opal tiles add a timeless elegance, their iridescent surface reflecting the coastal hues of the surrounding landscape.

Glass mosaics have long been valued for their versatility and aesthetic impact in hospitality spaces. At Tawila Island Resort, their role extends beyond mere decoration—they create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor environments, reinforcing the resort’s tranquil atmosphere. The carefully curated colour palette ensures that each space exudes an air of calm sophistication, making it an ideal retreat for guests seeking relaxation and rejuvenation.
A defining feature of the resort’s interiors is the seamless expanse of flooring, achieved using etherium By E-Stone full-slab surfaces. These 300 x 120 cm tiles provide a striking, uninterrupted finish, ensuring a continuous flow from one space to the next. Installed throughout the bungalows, presidential suites, and sea-facing rooms, these engineered stone surfaces offer not just a visually cohesive aesthetic but also durability and ease of maintenance—essential qualities for high-end hospitality environments.

Unlike traditional flooring materials, etherium By E-Stone offers a non-porous surface that is resistant to stains, scratches, and humidity—an essential feature in coastal resorts where wear and tear from sand, salt, and moisture can be a concern. Additionally, its ability to mimic the beauty of natural stone while providing enhanced performance makes it an ideal choice for luxury hospitality spaces that require both form and function.
Today’s hospitality industry is increasingly focused on sustainable solutions, and Tawila Island Resort is no exception. TREND Group’s commitment to eco-conscious materials aligns perfectly with this vision. The Karma glass mosaics incorporate up to 78 per cent post-consumer recycled glass, reducing environmental impact while maintaining superior quality. Similarly, etherium By E-Stone is manufactured using sustainable practices, ensuring that every surface contributes to a greener, more responsible design ethos.
