Why Mahmya Island Is Hurghada's Best Beach Day
Unlike crowded public beaches, Mahmya is an eco-conscious private island retreat inside a marine reserve. Built from natural eco-wood and powered by solar energy, it’s designed so nature stays the star. The result is calm, crystal-clear lagoons perfect for swimming, shallow reefs ideal for beginner snorkelers, and a relaxed island atmosphere you won’t find on the mainland. Many travelers rate it the single best thing they did in Hurghada.
What You'll Experience
Your day begins with hotel pickup and a transfer to the marina, followed by a scenic cruise across the Red Sea — keep your eyes open for dolphins along the way. On arrival at Mahmya Island you’ll have time to snorkel the coral reefs, swim in the turquoise lagoon, and unwind on the white-sand beach with a sun lounger and umbrella. A generous buffet lunch is served on the island before your relaxing cruise back to Hurghada.
Snorkeling at Giftun Island National Park
The waters around Mahmya are part of a protected marine park, home to colorful coral and tropical fish. Snorkeling gear is provided, and the shallow, calm reefs make it perfect for first-timers and families — while there’s plenty to explore for experienced snorkelers too. Non-snorkelers can simply enjoy the beach or the view.
Is Mahmya Island Right for You?
Mahmya is ideal for couples, families with children, and anyone who wants a relaxed beach-and-snorkel day rather than a packed itinerary. The calm lagoons are safe for kids, and the island has restaurants, bars and shaded loungers. If you want the most scenic, eco-friendly island day from Hurghada, this is it.
