Pool day passes in Sharm El Sheikh

Sharm El Sheikh's hotel scene runs on large all-inclusive resorts spread across Naama Bay, Sharks Bay, and Nabq Bay, and that shapes how outsiders get pool access here. Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh is the one property with a published, bookable day pass. Everywhere else, from the adults-only Rixos Sharm El Sheikh to the multi-pool Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort, day access exists but isn't listed online.

The Four Seasons' Hello Summer Resort Day Pass runs $160 to $210 depending on group size and includes a three-course meal. The rest of the resorts on this list require a phone call or email, and the price you're quoted often depends on how full the hotel is with overnight guests that day.

Book the Four Seasons pass in advance since space is limited. For every other hotel, call a day or two ahead, especially November through April when Sharm El Sheikh's warm winter climate draws heavy package-tour demand from Europe.

Do Sharm El Sheikh hotels offer day passes to non-guests?

Yes, but most don't advertise it. Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh publishes its Hello Summer Resort Day Pass online with fixed pricing. Resorts like Rixos Sharm El Sheikh Adults Only 18+, Novotel Sharm El Sheikh, and Sentido Reef Oasis Senses have been named by past guests on travel forums as arranging day access on request, but none list a rate on their own site.

Call ahead and ask for the front desk or reservations team directly rather than a general inquiry line. Since these resorts are built around full-board packages, staff will quote a rate based on the day's occupancy rather than a set price.

Is a hotel day pass or an aqua park pass better in Sharm El Sheikh?

It depends on what you want from the day. A hotel pool day pass, like the one at Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh, gets you quiet pools, a beach, and a sit-down meal. A dedicated aqua park pass, such as the Sharm El Sheikh Aqua Park tickets sold with round-trip transfers, gets you water slides and a livelier, family-focused crowd for less money.

Families chasing slides and a full day out are usually better served by an aqua park pass. Couples or anyone wanting a calmer resort setting should book a hotel day pass instead.

Where to stay in Sharm El Sheikh

Sharm El Sheikh is built around fenced-in resort compounds rather than a walkable old town, so picking the right bay matters more than picking a hotel brand. Naama Bay is the original strip, with restaurants and beach bars you can reach on foot, and the Sunrise Arabian Beach Resort is a well-reviewed mid-range base right in the thick of it.

If you'd rather spread out, Nabq Bay's all-inclusive resorts sit about ten minutes from the airport and suit families who want space and kids' clubs without leaving the property; the Swissotel Sharm El Sheikh All-Inclusive Collection Resort is the pick if you want landscaped grounds and a few more à la carte restaurants.

Divers and snorkellers should look south to Sharks Bay, a quieter, rockier stretch known for its house reef. The Reef Oasis Blue Bay Resort puts you right on it, with easy water access before the day's crowds arrive.

Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh

Set on its own stretch of Red Sea coastline south of Naama Bay, Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh is a non-all-inclusive luxury property with a series of infinity and lagoon-style pools looking out over the water.

The Hello Summer Resort Day Pass runs $160 for one person, $180 for a couple, or $210 for a family of up to four with two adults. It includes beach and pool access from 10am to 7pm, a three-course meal at Waha or Luna poolside restaurants, and 20% off spa treatments.

This is a seasonal offer that has run each summer, so confirm current dates and pricing when you call. Reservations are required and space is limited, especially on weekends.

Rixos Sharm El Sheikh Adults Only 18+

Rixos Sharm El Sheikh Adults Only 18+ sits in Nabq Bay, north of the main Naama Bay strip, and runs as an ultra all-inclusive resort with seven pools spread across the property.

There's no published day-pass rate on the hotel's site, but a traveler forum thread reported paying around $200 for two people to spend the day at the pools and beach. Expect the quote to shift with occupancy.

Call ahead of your visit to confirm availability, since the resort's adults-only policy and all-inclusive model mean day guests are worked in around existing bookings.

Royal Savoy Sharm El Sheikh

Royal Savoy Sharm El Sheikh is the adults-only boutique property within the Savoy Group's SOHO Square complex, built around three elegant outdoor pools with poolside bars.

Day access isn't listed with a fixed price, but the pools come with free cabanas, sun loungers, and umbrellas for anyone who arranges a day visit. It's named alongside Four Seasons and Rixos as one of the properties travelers ask about for day passes.

Since it shares reservations with the wider Savoy Group, call and specify Royal Savoy rather than the standard Savoy Hotel next door.

Savoy Hotel Sharm El Sheikh

Savoy Hotel Sharm El Sheikh is the family-oriented counterpart to Royal Savoy, part of the same SOHO Square resort complex with five pools and direct beach access.

No day-pass pricing is published on the hotel's site, but the property markets its pools and beach as a package for visiting families, distinct from the adults-only Royal Savoy pools next door.

Call the reservations line to check current pricing and availability, particularly around school holidays when the resort fills with package-tour families.

Sentido Reef Oasis Senses Aqua Park Resort

Sentido Reef Oasis Senses Aqua Park Resort combines a hotel pool setup with an on-site waterpark, including a kids' splash zone alongside quieter adult pools.

Traveler searches consistently name this resort as one that offers day access with waterpark entry included, though the hotel doesn't list a rate online. It's a solid pick for families who want slides without a separate aqua park ticket.

Call ahead to confirm whether the waterpark section is included in the day rate or costs extra, since this varies by season.

Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort

Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort has the largest pool count of any hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, with 25 pools spread across its grounds, including several built for young children.

No fixed day-pass price is published, but the sheer scale of the property, splash pads, a lazy river, and dozens of slides make it the closest thing to a standalone waterpark within a hotel setting.

Reach out by phone to check current pricing, since availability depends on how full the resort is with all-inclusive guests.

Novotel Sharm El Sheikh

Novotel Sharm El Sheikh sits on a private beach in Naama Bay, the city's main strip for restaurants and nightlife, with five pools and two poolside bars.

Travelers have reported arranging day access here, though the hotel doesn't advertise a set rate. Its Naama Bay location makes it one of the more convenient options if you're staying elsewhere in town and want to walk to a pool for the day.

Call the front desk to check current pricing before making the trip out.

DoubleTree by Hilton Sharm El Sheikh - Sharks Bay Resort

DoubleTree by Hilton Sharm El Sheikh - Sharks Bay Resort sits away from the busier Naama Bay strip in the quieter Sharks Bay area, with seven pools across the resort grounds.

No day-pass pricing is listed online, but the Hilton brand has been known to run local day-access promotions at individual properties, so it's worth calling to ask directly rather than assuming none exists.

Sharks Bay's more residential setting makes this a better fit for anyone wanting a calmer day away from Naama Bay's crowds.

Mövenpick Resort Sharm El Sheikh

Mövenpick Resort Sharm El Sheikh is another Naama Bay beachfront property, with an outdoor pool, a children's pool, and pool access running from 8:30am to 5:30pm daily.

The hotel doesn't publish a day-pass rate, but its central Naama Bay location and family-friendly layout make it a reasonable fallback if Novotel or the Savoy properties are fully booked for the day.

Call ahead to confirm current pricing and hours, since pool access times can shift outside peak season.

Frequently asked questions

Do other big all-inclusive brands in Sharm El Sheikh offer day passes?

Most of the city's large all-inclusive resorts, including the various Coral Sea, Baron, and Sunrise properties, don't publish day-pass information because their business model is built around full-board overnight bookings. A phone call is still worth making, since informal access is sometimes arranged even without an advertised program.

Are children charged the same rate as adults for a day pass?

At Four Seasons, the family rate covers up to four people with two adults and children under a set age often included at a reduced cost. At the call-ahead resorts, ask specifically about child pricing when you inquire, since aqua park-style properties like Sentido Reef Oasis Senses and Pickalbatros Aqua Blu typically discount for younger children.

What should I bring for a day pass visit?

Bring a swimsuit, cover-up, sunscreen, and ID for check-in at the front desk, since day guests are usually required to register. Cash in Egyptian pounds is useful for tipping poolside staff, even at resorts that quote pricing in US dollars.

More pool day passes near Sharm El Sheikh

Along Egypt's Red Sea coast, Hurghada has the same all-inclusive-resort, call-ahead pattern as Sharm El Sheikh, with waterpark-scale properties like Gravity Hotel & Aqua Park and JAZ Aquamarine. Further afield, the Mediterranean's all-inclusive resort towns of Cesme and Corfu offer a similar mix of resort pools and beach access, with more hotels publishing fixed day-pass pricing than in Sharm El Sheikh.
