Your Guide to Ladies-Only Beaches in Jeddah

For many women in Jeddah, the perfect beach day is a private one: time to swim, sunbathe and switch off without a second thought. The good news is that the city’s coastline now offers more choice than ever, from resorts designed entirely for women to family resorts that set aside special days just for ladies. Here’s our guide to where to go, what to expect and how to plan your visit.

Two kinds of ladies-only beach day

There are two ways to enjoy a ladies-only beach in Jeddah. Some venues are created for women from the ground up and run as women’s beaches as standard. Others are family resorts that host ladies-only days, when the beach, pools and facilities are reserved for women.

On Beach Pass you never have to guess which is which. Our booking calendar highlights ladies-only days in pink with a hibiscus icon, so you can see at a glance which dates suit you before you choose a beach.

Resorts designed for women

Le Pont de l’Amitié

Le Pont de l’Amitié is an exclusive women’s wellness beach resort, created for privacy and calm. Expect a private beach and swimming pool, a spa centre and a fitness studio, plus a state-of-the-art padel court if you’d like something more energetic. There’s a beach bar and café for a refreshing drink, and an exclusive members’ lounge where you can catch up with friends before heading back to the water.

Your day pass includes full access to the ladies-only private beach, the pool and sunbeds, premium lockers and showers, the members’ lounge and complimentary Wi-Fi.

La Maison D’Obhur

On the shores of North Obhur, La Maison D’Obhur is an elegant ladies-only beachfront retreat with crystal-clear water that’s ideal for private sunbathing and swimming. Its signature is the VIP island, where you can lounge beneath swaying palms, and there’s a large ocean-view pool for those who prefer a swim without the sand.

Wellness is at the heart of a day here, with pier-side morning yoga areas, a sauna and Jacuzzi, and hydrotherapy facilities. The seaside restaurant takes care of lunch, while a prayer area, lockers and showers make it easy to stay from morning until sunset.

Both resorts also set aside some days as Women & Kids only, shown in lilac with a jellyfish icon on our calendar. They’re ideal if you’d like to bring your children along.

Family resorts with ladies-only days

If you love the facilities of a larger resort, several of our partners reserve ladies-only days:

• Rixos Obhur Jeddah – a luxury resort with a private beach, multiple pools and a full-service spa.
• Siyal Resort – a relaxed North Obhur resort with a private beach, swimming pools and air-conditioned chalets.
• Mangrove Beach Resort – a lively beachfront with padel courts, beach volleyball and an on-site spa.
• Kona Marine Sport Club – perfect for a sporty day, with a marine sports centre and lifeguards on duty.

These venues run as family beaches on their other days, so check the colour of your chosen date before you book.

Booking your ladies-only day

Choose your visit date and number of passes, and we’ll show you which beaches are open that day and what kind of day it is. When you book a ladies-only day, you’ll be asked to confirm that all adult guests, including any accompanying maids, are women.

Entry for children follows each venue’s own ladies-only policy. If you’re planning to bring young sons, mention it in your booking notes and we’ll check with the venue for you.

A few tips for the day

• Arrive in the morning for the best choice of sunbeds and shade.
• Pack a modest cover-up for arriving, leaving and walking through shared areas.
• Bring a high-SPF sunscreen and a refillable water bottle, as the Jeddah sun is strong all year.
• Leave valuables at home, or use the lockers where they’re provided.
