Beach Albatros Resort Hurghada

Beach Albatros Resort is one of Hurghada's longest-established beach resorts, open since 1992 on the Hurghada–Safaga road, about 15 minutes from Hurghada International Airport. It sits on the first line of a 250 m private sandy beach with a gentle entry into the sea.

The 4-star resort spreads over 123,000 m² with 673 rooms in a main building and low bungalow blocks, a large aqua park, nine adult pools including a surf pool and a free kids club, which makes it a lively, good-value choice for families and groups.

Rooms

Rooms are in a four-storey main building with lifts and in two-storey bungalow buildings. Options run from standard rooms with garden, pool or sea views to bungalow rooms and two-bedroom family rooms for up to five guests, plus a sea-view Royal Suite. All have air conditioning, a minibar refilled with water, tea and coffee, a safe, satellite TV, free Wi-Fi and a balcony or terrace, and all are non-smoking.

Restaurants and bars

Buffet restaurants include Sidi Ali (oriental), Culina and Le Marché, with a free à la carte dinner you can book once a week and a paid Starfish seafood restaurant. A 24-hour bakery, an aqua-park food court and a beach burger bar cover snacks. Bars include Columbus Café, the Dolce Vita lounge, pool bars, a beach bar and the Cinderella pool bar with mocktails for children.

Pools, aqua park and beach

There are nine adult pools, among them a surf pool (two heated in winter), a children's pool, and an aqua park with 13 adult and 9 children's slides. Ten more slides are part of the 2026 upgrades. The sandy beach has free umbrellas, loungers and towels, and the water-sports and diving centre is paid.

Kids, sports and evenings

The free kids club takes children aged 4 to 12, with a playground and mini disco. Free activities include the gym, beach volleyball, mini-football and mini-golf, with tennis and padel at extra cost. Evenings bring shows, DJ sets and the animation team; the spa (adults only) offers paid massages and a sauna.

Fly into Hurghada International Airport (HRG). Resort transfers are typically 15 to 45 minutes depending on the area. Cairo is the main alternative gateway for longer itineraries.

Best time to visit: Hurghada is sunny almost all year. March–May and September–November balance warm days with a comfortable sea. Winter is mild with cooler evenings. Summer is hot, but the sea is at its warmest.
