You can enjoy a pool day or a stretch of private beach in Jeddah without booking a hotel room — and prices start lower than you might expect. A rooftop pool pass at Rosewood Jeddah runs about SAR 200 on weekdays, a full beach day at Rixos Obhur starts around SAR 150 with lunch included, and a handful of beach clubs in Obhur sell weekday access from roughly SAR 100. Below is our most complete, up-to-date guide to the best hotel pool and beach day passes in Jeddah, with real SAR figures, hours and the family and gender rules you actually need to check before you pay.
One thing to note upfront: these are private venues, so prices, opening hours, inclusions and gender policies change by date and season. There is no single government booking system or fixed validity period for a hotel or beach pass in Saudi Arabia — always confirm the current details through the venue's own booking channel before paying.

Rooftop and hotel pool day passes
If you want a proper pool, loungers and hotel-grade service — without the sand — these city and hotel pools are your best bets.
Rosewood Jeddah rooftop pool
In the Al Hamra district, the Rosewood rooftop pool is one of the most stylish pool days in the city. Day passes are typically around SAR 200 per person Sunday to Thursday and around SAR 250 on Friday and Saturday. It's open daily from 9am to 4pm, and the pass usually includes the pool, gym, steam room, sauna, towels and amenities. Children under 10 generally enter free, which makes it a surprisingly family-friendly city option.
The Hotel Galleria Jeddah
On Al Tahlia Street, The Hotel Galleria offers pool-included day-use packages at typically around SAR 202 plus taxes, with a reported access window of 10am to 4pm. This is sold as a day-use booking rather than a standalone pool ticket, so confirm exactly what's included when you reserve.
Jeddah Hilton (Corniche)
For a Corniche setting, the Jeddah Hilton sells pool-included day-use packages at typically around SAR 365 plus taxes, with a reported 12pm to 6pm period. Again, this is a day-use room booking that comes with pool access rather than a pure pool pass — handy if you also want somewhere to change and rest.
DoubleTree by Hilton Al Andalus Mall
Attached to Al Andalus Mall, the DoubleTree offers pool-included day-use packages at typically around SAR 240 to SAR 525 plus taxes, depending on the room category and availability. It's a convenient pick if you want to combine a pool day with shopping.
Jeddah Marriott Hotel
The Jeddah Marriott offers access to its M Club at typically around SAR 200, giving you a comfortable base with lounge facilities. As always, confirm the current price and exactly what's included before you book.
Narcissus Resort
At the top end, Narcissus Resort has a reported day pass of around SAR 1,559 that bundles dining, spa services and selected water activities. This is a full-day luxury experience rather than a casual pool stop, so treat it as a special occasion.
Beach clubs and resort day passes
Most of Jeddah's real beach action is up the coast in Obhur, where resorts and beach clubs sell day passes to the private sand and clear water you won't find on the public Corniche.
Rixos Obhur Jeddah Resort & Villas
In Obhur, Rixos is the standout all-rounder for families. Day passes start at around SAR 150 and typically include the pools, private beach, lunch at Turquoise from 1pm to 4pm, snacks and drinks, the Rixy Kids Club and sports zones. For the price, the inclusions make it one of the best-value full days out in the city.
Shades Beach Club
Shades Beach Club sells day passes from around SAR 150. Operating hours and gender or age conditions vary by date, so this is one to confirm through the venue's current booking channel before you go.
Sol Beach Resort
Sol Beach Resort's typical day pass is around SAR 200, with reported access hours of 8am to 11:30pm — unusually long, which makes it a good choice if you want to stay into the evening. Confirm current availability and inclusions before paying.
Mangrove Beach
Mangrove Beach has a typical day pass of around SAR 320, and women-only days may be offered on certain dates. Check the current schedule and access rules before booking, especially if you need a ladies-only day.
Guvali Beach
Guvali Beach sits in the around SAR 150 to SAR 200 range for a typical day pass. Confirm current availability, operating hours and whether pool access is included alongside the beach.
Silver Sands Beach (Obhur)
Silver Sands in Obhur is the budget pick, with typical day access of around SAR 100 on weekdays and SAR 175 on weekends. Access can be restricted during high-demand periods and membership conditions may apply, so book ahead for weekends and holidays.
How to choose the right pass for you
- Travelling with kids? Rixos Obhur (kids' club, lunch, beach) and Rosewood (under-10s free) are the easy wins.
- On a budget? Silver Sands and Guvali in Obhur start from roughly SAR 100–200.
- Want a city pool, not the beach? Rosewood's rooftop or The Hotel Galleria keep you close to town.
- Need a ladies-only day? Ask about women-only days at Mangrove Beach and confirm policies at other clubs.
- Celebrating something? Narcissus Resort's premium day pass is built for it.
Tips before you book
- Confirm the exact date's price and hours. Weekend and holiday rates are higher — Rosewood jumps to around SAR 250 on Fridays and Saturdays, and beach clubs often raise weekend prices.
- Check gender and age policies. Some beach clubs run mixed, family-only or women-only days that change by date.
- Ask what's included. Lunch, towels, loungers, pool access and taxes vary — a "day-use" package is not the same as a simple pool ticket.
- Book ahead for peak times. Weekends, school holidays and the cooler winter months fill up fast, especially in Obhur.
- Plan your transport. Obhur is typically a 30–45 minute drive north of central Jeddah, depending on traffic; Careem or Uber are straightforward, but agree on a return pickup since some stretches are quieter.
