Beach Clubs & Day Use

A proper sunbed, a pool and someone bringing you drinks

Most Hurghada hotels keep their beaches for guests — these are the places that welcome day visitors properly.

Step 4 of 4 — 5 curated spots, ready to book

Laid-backFamily friendlyFull-day

South Hurghada, past Sahl Hasheesh turn-off

Dream Beach Club

The laid-back local favourite for a full day on real sand

A big, relaxed day-use beach south of the city with a long sandy shoreline, palm-shade loungers and a swimmable house reef at the jetty's end. It draws a mixed crowd of expats, Egyptian weekenders and tourists escaping hotel buffets — more flip-flops than dress code.

Best time

Weekdays for space; October–May for kind temperatures

Entry & fees

Day pass includes sunbed and umbrella; food and drinks à la carte on top. Book below for the live rate.

Insider tip

Walk to the end of the jetty and snorkel left along the reef edge — most visitors never leave the swimming zone.

Sahl Hasheesh (20 min south of Hurghada)

Old Town Beach Club

Manicured resort-bay sand without booking a resort

Sahl Hasheesh's pedestrian old-town promenade opens onto a groomed, calm-water bay that feels a class above Hurghada's city beaches. The day-use club setup gets you resort-grade sand, a gentle shelving swim area that's ideal for kids, and promenade restaurants a short stroll away.

Best time

Morning swim, lunch on the promenade, out by late afternoon

Entry & fees

Day pass with sunbed included; à-la-carte dining extra. Live price on the booking page.

Insider tip

Stay for the sunset walk along the pier — Sahl Hasheesh's lit promenade is one of the coast's most underrated evening strolls.

Sahl Hasheesh

IL Gusto Beach Club

Infinity pool, Italian kitchen and the coast's dressier day crowd

The signature beach club of the Sahl Hasheesh strip: an infinity pool over the bay, proper cocktails, and an Italian restaurant that takes lunch seriously. It's the pick when you want a smarter day out — think pool club energy at the beach rather than a barefoot fish shack.

Best time

Late morning through golden hour; weekends are the social scene

Entry & fees

Day pass includes pool, beach, sunbed and towel; food and drinks à la carte. Book below for the current rate.

Insider tip

Reserve a pool-edge lounger when you book — the front row goes first and it's where the view (and the photos) are.

Makadi Bay (30 min south)

Makadi Water World Beach Day

Slides in the morning, bay swimming in the afternoon

The area's biggest aqua-park day out, paired with Makadi Bay's wide sheltered beach. It's the honest answer when the group includes kids who will not be entertained by a sunbed: dozens of slides and pools, then a calm bay to wind down in.

Best time

Arrive at opening — slides are queue-free for the first two hours

Entry & fees

Day ticket covers park and beach access; food courts extra. Live price on the booking page.

Insider tip

Lockers and towel rental exist but sell out on Fridays and Saturdays — go midweek if you can.

Hurghada city coast

Sunset Beach Lounge

Shisha, sundowners and the day's last light on the water

A late-afternoon-into-evening beach lounge rather than a tanning station: low seating on the sand, mixed local–international crowd, shisha done properly and a bar that hits its stride as the sky goes orange. Come at five, stay until the stars are out.

Best time

Two hours before sunset onwards

Entry & fees

Entry usually works on a minimum-spend basis rather than a ticket; book below and we confirm the current arrangement.

Insider tip

Ask for a front-row beanbag when booking — the second row loses the water view once the sun drops.
