Updated July 7, 2022.

Looking for the perfect spot to relax for the day?

Whether you’re a homeowner, a resident here to stay, renting a property for a few weeks, or stopping by for a relaxing weekend as a guest at one of El Gouna’s luxurious hotels, you can choose from a range of activities from our assortment of distinct locations to suit your preference for the perfect day at the pool or beach.

Due to high occupancy rates, room ‘day use’ is not available here in El Gouna, but that won’t stop you from spending the day lounging pool-side with a cocktail, sunning it up at the beach, or keeping it cool in one of the many pools available – guests can feel free to contact their hotel to request an early check-in or late check-out, the hotel teams are flexible and will be more than happy to help arrange your request.

With a myriad of pools and beaches available at El Gouna’s hotels, it can be difficult to choose just one, so if you’re looking to entertain the family, planning a celebratory day out for a group of adults, or a romantic retreat for two, you’re guaranteed to have a 5-star experience by following this comprehensive Gouna-guide to pool and beach day usage.
