Titanic Beach Spa & Aqua Park
Titanic Beach Spa & Aqua Park is a large all-inclusive resort on Sahl Hashish Road, at the southern end of the Hurghada strip on Egypt's Red Sea coast. It's run by the Egyptian group Hwaidak Hotels and shares all its facilities with the neighbouring Titanic Palace, so guests have the run of both hotels: one of the biggest aqua parks on this coast, a spread of pools, a 365-metre private sandy beach and a set of restaurants across the two sides.

Is it worth it?
Who Titanic Beach suits, what's included and the facts to skim first.
Titanic Beach is one of the big aqua-park all-inclusives on the Hurghada coast, and the water is the reason most families pick it. The park has 17 slides, a wave pool, a lazy river and a separate children's area, and because Titanic Beach shares everything with the adjoining Titanic Palace, a stay gives you both hotels' pools, restaurants, bars and beach without leaving the grounds. It rates solidly rather than exceptionally, and the things guests praise most are the scale of the place, the friendly staff and, since a 2024-2025 refit, the rooms.
Two things decide whether it fits. The aqua park and the 120-centimetre height rule for the bigger slides make it strongest for children of about 4 to 12; babies and toddlers are limited to the toddler splash area and the heated children's pool, and there's no crèche, so under-4s have no supervised care. The beach is the other thing to weigh. It's a proper sandy beach, but the sea sits on a Red Sea reef flat that stays ankle to knee deep for a few hundred metres, so you can't swim from the shore. Swimming from deep water and the snorkelling both come off a 500-metre jetty, and that jetty is being renovated from May to November 2026, which removes deep-water swimming and snorkelling for the peak UK summer.
Best for
You want a large aqua park and pool complex, a sandy beach for paddling and strong all-inclusive value, with children around 4 to 12 to use the slides and the club.
Maybe not for
You want to swim from the beach, you have tweens of 10 and over after evening entertainment, or you need supervised childcare for a baby or toddler.
Best ages
Around 4 to 12 for the slides, the pools and the kids' club. Babies and toddlers are welcome, but you'll be hands-on.
What stands out
The scale and value, the aqua park and having the run of both the Beach and Palace hotels.
What to check
The jetty is closed for renovation from May to November 2026, so no deep-water swimming or snorkelling in that window, and there's no crèche for under-4s.
Where is it?
On Sahl Hashish Road at the southern end of the Hurghada strip on Egypt's Red Sea coast, about 9 miles (15 km) from Hurghada airport.
Quick facts for families
What the resort is like
Where Titanic Beach sits, how it shares its ground with the Palace and what that means for a family.
Titanic Beach sits on Sahl Hashish Road at the southern end of the Hurghada resort strip, run by Hwaidak Hotels, an Egyptian family group unconnected to the Turkish Titanic Hotels group that runs hotels in Turkey, Berlin and Sharm El Sheikh. The two just happen to share a name. This is resort-strip territory, large hotels along the coast road with no walkable town or old quarter next door, so it's set up for a family to spend the week on site. It's a big, flat site, each hotel around 100,000 m² in its own right rather than one combined figure, which makes getting around with a pushchair easier than a hillside resort, though the distances are still long across grounds this size. Lifts are confirmed and there are barrier-free rooms, but the resort doesn't set out any pushchair-specific paths. For the wider area, its beaches and when to go, see our Hurghada guide.
The thing that sets this resort apart is the shared complex. Titanic Beach and Titanic Palace are two adjoining hotels that share all their facilities, so whichever you sleep in, you have full run of both: the pools, the restaurants, the bars, the beach and the aqua park across the two. Hwaidak runs four Titanic-branded hotels in Hurghada in total, Beach, Palace, Resort and Royal, adding up to around 2,000 rooms, and the nearby Titanic Royal shares some facilities too. For a family the practical upshot is more choice of pool and restaurant than a single hotel would give.
The two sides differ mainly in room styles and which building you sleep in. The Palace side has the swim-up bungalow rooms with private plunge pools, while the Beach side holds the main aqua park entrance, its own buffet and the à la carte restaurants. Access for a family is much the same either way, so the choice comes down to room type rather than facilities.
The aqua park
The headline feature, the pools that sit alongside it and the shallow beach beyond.
The aqua park is the reason most families come, and it's one of the largest on this stretch of the Hurghada coast. It has 17 slides in total, split into eight built for adults and eight for children, with a few small features for the youngest. Children need to be at least 120 centimetres tall for the adult slides, which lets most primary-school-age children on but rules out younger ones. Alongside the slides there's a wave pool, a lazy rafting river with a whirlpool section and a pirate-ship water feature in the children's area, plus named rides such as the Black Hole, the Master Blaster and the Freefall for older children and confident swimmers.
There's a separate children's splash zone away from the adult slides, and a dedicated toddler area for under-5s, though that toddler area is seasonal and has been closed for maintenance for spells in the past, so if it's a deciding factor check it's open for your dates before you book. The park runs from mid-morning to the mid or late afternoon; the exact closing time is worth confirming on arrival. Whatever the lifeguard cover on the day, young children need an adult within reach in the water. The upshot for ages is that the park is strong for about 4 to 12, while babies and toddlers are limited to the toddler splash zone and the heated children's pool.
Pools and water features
Beyond the aqua park, the two hotels share a large spread of pools, running to about 8,000 cubic metres of water with depths from 60 to 140 centimetres, and loungers and umbrellas are free. There are three main pools, one of them heated in winter, gathered centrally with the pool bars alongside. The dedicated children's pool is the one that matters most for young families: it's heated in winter, has mini slides and water features, sits apart from the aqua park and is the best swimming spot for under-4s.
The complex also has two winding river pools running through it, seven swim-up pools that connect to the swim-up rooms and so are for those room guests only, 47 private plunge pools attached to the Palace bungalows and a single outdoor Jacuzzi over in the spa area. One thing to plan around is loungers: guests report the familiar early-morning towel-claiming on the best sunbeds, with no enforced policy, so an early start helps if you want a particular spot.
The beach
The beach is a 365-metre stretch of private sand with direct access, so there's no road to cross to reach it. The sea in front, though, is barely ankle to knee deep for 300 to 400 metres out, because the beach sits on a Red Sea reef flat. That means you can't wade in and swim from the shore here. It's good for paddling, splashing about and sandcastles, which suits toddlers well, but for a real swim you use the pools or the jetty. Egypt doesn't take part in the Blue Flag scheme, so no Egyptian beach carries that certification; it isn't a mark against this one.
A 500-metre private jetty runs out over the reef to deeper water, and off the end of it is where the swimming and the snorkelling happen, over coral with plenty of fish and stingrays and turtles seen. The resort is renovating that jetty from 1 May to 30 November 2026. The jetty sits well away from the guest rooms and the rest of the resort runs normally through the work, but it's the only route to deep water and the main snorkelling here, so a visit in that window means pool swimming and shallow beach paddling rather than snorkelling off the pier. For a trip from December 2026 onward, check it has reopened before you book if that's a reason you're choosing here. The area can be windy too, particularly in winter.
Every restaurant and bar
The buffets, the à la carte estate across both hotels, the bars and how booking works.
Because the two hotels share their dining, the choice is wide for an all-inclusive. The everyday meals happen at the buffets, and dinners out are at the à la carte restaurants spread across the Beach and Palace sides, which you can book across both. The food gets a fair rather than glowing verdict, decent for an all-inclusive of this size, and families on the longer 10 to 14 night stays are the ones who mention it becoming repetitive.
| Restaurant | Cuisine | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Jack & Rose | International buffet | The main all-inclusive buffet on the Beach side, open for breakfast, late breakfast, lunch, dinner and midnight snacks, with a children's section, high chairs and a view over the pool. |
| Cleopatra and Antonio | International buffets | Two more large buffets over on the Palace side, the same style of food, open to Beach guests as well. |
| Cal | Italian, à la carte | Booked ahead through guest relations, with a dinner dress code. |
| Lebanese Restaurant | Lebanese, à la carte | Mezze and grills; book ahead through guest relations. |
| China Town | Chinese, à la carte | Book ahead through guest relations. |
| Mongolian Restaurant | Mongolian, à la carte | Book ahead through guest relations. |
| The Grill | Grilled meats, à la carte | Book ahead through guest relations. |
| Sumari | Japanese, à la carte | Book ahead through guest relations. |
Jack & Rose is the main all-inclusive buffet on the Beach side, named after the film characters, and it's where most meals happen. Breakfast runs from 07:00 to 10:00 and a late breakfast to 12:00, with lunch, dinner and a midnight-snack service from 22:00 to 06:00, so there's usually food available around a nap or an early tea. It has a children's section, high chairs and a view over the pool. On the Palace side, the Cleopatra and Antonio buffets serve the same style of food and are open to Beach guests too. Through the day a poolside and beach snack bar runs from about 12:30 to 16:00, and ice cream is included. Coffee and tea have their own service window too, from 16:00 to 18:00, though the 24-hour Pirates Bar covers hot drinks outside that window as well.
The à la carte restaurants add the variety across the week: Italian at Cal, a Lebanese restaurant, China Town for Chinese, a Mongolian restaurant, The Grill for grilled meats and Sumari for Japanese. The Palace side adds more à la carte again, including a Japanese/Chinese restaurant, Indian, Mexican and Italian, which effectively doubles the choice. The restaurants take children, and the Indian restaurant in particular is noted for handling dietary needs and children's tastes.
For drinks, the Beach side has seven bars: the 24-hour Pirates Bar in the lobby, the Mocka Bar for coffee and hot drinks, the Oasis pool bar, the Aquapark bar, the Sailors beach bar, the Waves disco bar and a VIP bar. The Palace side adds a lobby bar, pool bar, beach bar, disco bar and the Alexander bar, which carries a charge. Local soft and alcoholic drinks are included around the clock; international spirits cost extra at the Alexander bar, and the room minibar is restocked with soft drinks each day.
How restaurant booking works
The à la carte restaurants need booking ahead through the guest relations desk once you're on site, and an all-inclusive package typically covers one or two à la carte dinners a week, though this varies by package and operator. The popular slots go quickly across a resort this size, so it pays to sort your choices early in the stay rather than leaving them to the night. There's a dress code in the evening.
Rooms and suites
Every room runs to at least 48 m², with a balcony or terrace, air conditioning that warms as well as cools, a minibar, an LCD TV, a safe, a hairdryer, a kettle and daily housekeeping, and a cot comes on request. Guests since the 2024-2025 refit describe the rooms as clean, spacious and fresh. The table below is the full line-up across both hotels, since Beach guests can be housed on either side, with the family guidance after it.
| Room | Size | View | Family notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Room (Beach) | 48 m² | Garden, pool or sea | A bedroom with a shower bathroom; fine for a family with one young child, with a cot on request. |
| Standard Room, Pool Swim-Up Terrace (Beach) | 48 m² | Pool | A terrace stepping straight into the pool. Adults only, from age 16, so not one for a family with children. |
| Family Room (Beach) | 55 m² | Garden, pool or sea | Two bedrooms, one with twin beds and one with a king; some have a Jacuzzi. The pick if you want a door to close on a nap. |
| Junior Suite (Beach) | Not published | Garden, pool or sea | A separate living room and bedroom, with a bath rather than just a shower. |
| Standard Room (Palace) | 48 m² | Garden, pool or sea | The same two-person layout as the Beach standard, with a shower. |
| Swim-Up Room (Palace) | 48 m² | Pool | A terrace with pool access. Adults only, from age 16. |
| Superior Room (Palace) | 55 m² | Garden, pool or sea | A sitting area and a bathroom with a Jacuzzi. |
| Family Room (Palace) | 55 m² | Garden, pool or sea | Two bedrooms, a king plus two singles, with a sitting area, shower and Jacuzzi. |
| Bungalow (Palace) | 48 m² | Garden or pool | A terrace with its own private plunge pool. Adults only, maximum two guests. |
For a family the clear pick is the Family Room, at 55 m² with two separate bedrooms, so a baby or toddler can go down for a nap or bedtime while you sit up in the other room; some of these also have a Jacuzzi. If you're travelling with a single young child, a Standard Room at 48 m² is enough space, and a cot is provided in either. The Junior Suite adds a separate living room and a proper bath. Interconnecting rooms can be requested. Two categories are worth steering clear of with children: the swim-up rooms, on both sides, take guests from age 16 only, and the Palace bungalows with their private plunge pools are adults only, up to two guests, so neither is set up for a family.
Babies and toddlers
The kids' club, the under-4 gap, and what's set up for a baby.
The one thing to be clear on before booking is that there's no crèche or nursery for children under 4, and no supervised session for that age. The Mini Club takes children from 4 to 12, seven days a week, run by a multilingual animation team with arts and crafts, sports and games, and it's included in the all-inclusive, though it's worth confirming that with your operator. There's a mini disco for children in the evening, which younger ones tend to love. For under-4s, the toddler splash zone and the heated children's pool give water play, but you supervise it yourselves.
For a baby, a cot comes on request and high chairs are in the restaurants. There's no branded baby food or weaning range, but the buffet carries the plain staples that suit a weaning baby, pasta, plain rice, vegetables and fruit, so for a very young baby pack the specialist food and formula you'll need. Babysitting is available at an extra charge through the operator rather than free, so ask about the cost when you book if you want an evening out. With a baby or toddler here you'll spend the days on the shallow beach for paddling and at the heated children's pool for swimming.
Things to do
Plenty is included beyond the water. Land sports cover tennis, mini golf, beach volleyball, basketball, table tennis, darts, beach games, fitness and aerobics classes, water gymnastics and polo and dance lessons, and the gym is free. A daily animation team runs pool games, an Olympic day and sports sessions, and the evenings bring shows at the amphitheatre, belly dancing, an African show, an Oriental show and an international show, along with the children's mini disco, and occasional foam and beach parties. The animation team also runs a poolside sound system through the day, which some guests enjoy and others find intrusive, so it's worth knowing if you want a quiet lounger. Late on, the Waves disco bar is the adult night spot.
Some things carry a charge. The water sports centre runs windsurfing and kitesurfing, and there's a dive centre with beginner and advanced courses, sailing and snorkelling off the pier when it's open. A games centre has two bowling lanes, ping-pong, billiard tables, foosball, air hockey, a PlayStation and video-game machines. The spa has 13 massage rooms, two saunas, two steam baths, a Turkish hammam and an outdoor Jacuzzi, with massages, manicures, pedicures and beauty treatments all charged on top rather than part of the all-inclusive. Horse riding is listed as an on-site activity, so worth confirming on arrival. For the practical side there's a shopping arcade, a hairdresser and beauty salon, a mini market, currency exchange, an ATM, 24-hour reception and round-the-clock security.
The area and days out
The resort is self-contained, with everything a family needs on site, and the surrounding strip has no village, old town or seafront promenade to stroll to. The nearest place to head is Senzo Mall, about 1.5 miles (2 to 3 km) north, with a KFC, a McDonald's, a food court, a cinema, a supermarket and shops. The walk is along a main road with plenty of vendor attention, so most families take a short taxi. Hurghada Marina and the city are about 11 miles (17 to 18 km) away, roughly a 25 to 30 minute taxi, with waterfront restaurants, the old souk and the departure point for most boat trips.
The pick of the boat trips for families is Mahmya Island, about 30 minutes from the marina, a strong day out for snorkelling in calm shallow water. Into the desert, operators run quad biking, dune-buggy safaris, camel rides and Bedouin village visits, booked through the resort or local guides. Further afield, Luxor and the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple are about 180 miles (290 km) away, three to four hours each way; it makes for a very long day, leaving around 05:00 and back near 23:00, so with young children an overnight trip is far easier. Cairo and the Pyramids, about 280 miles (450 km) off, are too far for a day trip and need an overnight stay.
Loves and gripes
What families rate and what they flag, and how it compares with the other Hurghada aqua-park resorts.
The review scores put Titanic Beach in the upper half of Hurghada's resorts without reaching the very top. As of mid-2026 TripAdvisor rates it 4.0 out of 5 from 7,347 reviews, ranked around 85th of the city's 330 hotels; Google gives it 4.2 out of 5 from 5,690 reviews; and Booking.com scores it 9.0 out of 10 from several hundred reviews. The gap between the strong Booking.com score and the lower TripAdvisor rank owes more to the sheer volume and mix of guests than to a quality problem, and recent review text runs positive.
What families love
- The aqua park, the headline feature by a distance.
- The friendly, attentive staff.
- The sheer scale of facilities across the two hotels.
- Clean, well-kept pools.
- The variety at the buffets.
- The rooms since the 2024-2025 refit.
- The snorkelling off the pier, when it's open.
- The kids' club and the animation team.
- Having the run of both the Beach and Palace hotels, which doubles up the pools, restaurants and beach.
Common gripes
- The beach isn't for swimming from the shore.
- The jetty is closed for renovation May to November 2026.
- Early-morning towel-claiming on the sunbeds.
- The limit on à la carte visits within the package.
- The VIP wristband not being explained on arrival.
- Less evening entertainment for tweens of 10 and over.
- The buffet growing repetitive on stays of 10 to 14 nights.
- Older reports of unreliable lifts, less common since the refit.
- No supervised childcare for under-4s.
How it compares
Within the Hurghada aqua-park shortlist, Titanic Beach competes on scale, value and its private sandy beach. JAZ Aquaviva over in Makadi Bay has a bigger waterpark and a higher review rating, but it's a longer transfer from the airport. Sunrise Alora is newer and scores higher still, though on a smaller review base, so there's less of a track record to weigh. Steigenberger Aqua Magic ranks higher on TripAdvisor and has an adults-only rooftop pool for parents to escape to, and it has taken families with babies as young as a few months. Pickalbatros Jungle matches it on waterpark scale but doesn't have its own direct private beach, which Titanic Beach does. What tips families toward Titanic Beach is the combination of a private sandy beach, the shared Beach and Palace estate, the short transfer and the large aqua park, backed by a big review base.
Getting there and when to go
The flights and transfer, the best months for young children and the health and entry basics.
Hurghada International airport is about 9 miles (15 km) from the resort, roughly 18 to 20 minutes by road, which is a short first day for tired children. Direct flights run from most UK airports, and packages are sold by Jet2, TUI, easyJet Holidays, On the Beach, Broadway Travel, Olympic Holidays and loveholidays. Arrange your transfer through the operator or an independent company and pre-book it; if you take an airport taxi, agree the fare before you set off to avoid being overcharged. UK packages are typically seven nights.
For young children the comfortable months are October to April, and the pick of those is October and November or February to April, when the days are warm rather than fierce and the evenings stay mild. July and August sit at 35 to 38° by day and stay above 25° overnight, which is a lot for a baby or toddler, and it's exactly when the UK school holidays fall. Winter is the quieter, cooler end: the sea drops to about 21 to 22°, cool but swimmable, days are a comfortable 22 to 24°, and the children's pool and one main pool are heated.
Weather
Hurghada has a desert climate with reliable sun, negligible rain and warm sea for most of the year, and the resort is open year round. Spring can bring the odd khamsin, a hot desert wind that carries dust, and summer sees a steady breeze off the Red Sea that takes a little of the edge off the heat. The figures below are the monthly averages for Hurghada.
| Month | Daytime high | Overnight low | Rain | Wet days | Sea temp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| January | 22.5° | 11.5° | 0 mm | 0 | 23° |
| February | 23.5° | 12.5° | 0 mm | 0 | 22° |
| March | 26.5° | 15° | 1 mm | 0 | 22° |
| April | 30° | 18.5° | 0 mm | 0 | 23° |
| May | 34° | 23° | 0 mm | 0 | 25° |
| June | 36.5° | 26° | 0 mm | 0 | 27° |
| July | 37.5° | 28° | 0 mm | 0 | 28° |
| August | 37.5° | 28° | 0 mm | 0 | 29° |
| September | 35.5° | 26° | 0 mm | 0 | 28° |
| October | 32° | 22° | 5 mm | 0 | 27° |
| November | 28° | 17.5° | 6 mm | 0 | 26° |
| December | 24° | 13.5° | 0 mm | 0 | 25° |
Typical monthly averages from weather-station records. Sea temperature is the open-water figure, so a sheltered bay can feel a degree or two warmer.
Health and entry practicalities
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office doesn't advise against travel to Hurghada or the Red Sea resorts, so no special caution applies to the area, but take out comprehensive travel insurance with medical cover before you go. A day or two of stomach upset early in a trip is common here, from the change of diet rather than anything unsafe, so go easy on rich or unfamiliar dishes for the first couple of days. Drink bottled water rather than tap, and the resort leaves bottled water in the rooms each day.
If anyone plans to dive, use an established operator with proper insurance, as standards vary. For anything medical, the resort provides assistance on request, most likely a first-aid nurse with a call-out arrangement rather than a doctor on site, and the nearest full hospital is about 11 miles (17 km) away in Hurghada city.
Questions
The things families ask most, the official pages worth a bookmark and when this guide was last refreshed.
Will the jetty be open when we go?
The resort is renovating it from 1 May to 30 November 2026, so a trip in that window means no deep-water swimming or snorkelling off the pier, though the rest of the resort runs as normal. For a stay from December 2026 onward, check with the resort that it has reopened before you book if snorkelling is a big reason for choosing here.
Can our under-4 join the kids' club?
No, the Mini Club takes children from 4 to 12, and there's no crèche or supervised session below that. With a baby or toddler you'll be hands-on all week, using the heated children's pool, the toddler splash area and the beach rather than any drop-off care.
Can toddlers swim in the sea from the beach?
Not really. The water stays ankle to knee deep for a few hundred metres out, which is safe and easy for paddling and sandcastles but no good for a swim. For actual swimming with children, plan on the pools, with the heated children's pool the warmest option.
Which room suits a family with a baby?
The Family Room, at 55 m² with two separate bedrooms, is the one to book if you want to put a baby or toddler down and still sit up in the other room. A Standard Room at 48 m² works for a family with a single young child, and a cot comes on request either way.
How does booking the à la carte restaurants work?
You can't reserve these from home. You book at the guest relations desk once you've arrived, and you can pick from either hotel's à la carte restaurants across the shared complex. How many dinners your package includes depends on the operator and board level, usually one or two a week, so ask what yours covers when you check in.
What's the best time to visit with young children?
October to April, and ideally October and November or February to April, when the days are warm rather than fierce and the evenings stay mild. July and August reach the high thirties by day, which is a lot for a baby or toddler even though it lines up with the UK summer holidays.
How long is the transfer from the airport?
Hurghada airport is about 9 miles (15 km) away, roughly 18 to 20 minutes by road. Book your transfer through the operator or a private company ahead of time, and if you take an airport taxi, agree the fare before you set off.
What is the VIP blue wristband?
It's a paid upgrade that a few guests describe as adding wider à la carte access and some extra services. The resort doesn't set out exactly what it covers or what it costs, so if it appeals it's worth asking about at check-in rather than assuming.
Do young children eat free?
Under-12s typically eat free or at a reduced rate on a family package, but the exact age and terms vary by operator, so confirm it when you book rather than relying on a figure.
Is the beach any good for snorkelling?
When the jetty is open, the reef off the end of it is the draw, with coral, plenty of fish and stingrays and turtles seen. The shallow reef flat right in front of the sand isn't for snorkelling, so the pier is how you reach the deeper water and the coral.
