7 best beach hotels in Hurghada

Beach hotels in Hurghada suit travellers who want a proper seaside holiday: direct beach access or a short stroll to the water, space for sunbathing, and facilities that make daily routines easy (heated pools, beach bars, regular dining, and organised water activities). In Hurghada, the main “where to stay” choices cluster along the Red Sea strip—especially Sheraton Road (Sekalla), the city’s lively resort corridor where many hotels are set up for beach breaks.

If you prefer a calmer, more scenic setting, head towards Sahl Hasheesh, a luxury-style resort area known for long, relaxed coastal promenades and reef-rich swimming opportunities nearby. For a family-friendly, resort-strip feel, Makadi Bay is ideal too—its beach resorts are designed around entertainment and day-by-day convenience, with the added bonus of being along the Red Sea “Riviera” between Hurghada and Safaga.

For evening atmosphere and easy sightseeing, the Hurghada Marina promenade offers a modern waterfront base for dinner strolls and boat trips. And if you like an authentic local backdrop, El Dahar (Old Hurghada) is a great contrast with markets and everyday life close to the seafront hotels.

Among our bookable options, Steigenberger Al Dau Beach Hotel, JAZ Elite Asteria, and JAZ Elite Casa Del Mar Beach are excellent picks for beach-first stays, while Premier Le Reve Hotel & Spa (Adults Only) and Steigenberger Pure Lifestyle Adults Only - All Inc suit couples wanting a quieter atmosphere.
