This is the closest thing in the city to a beach resort, a large, established Hilton complex on the north Corniche with its own private beach, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis and squash courts and a kids' club. The family maths is friendly too: children up to eighteen stay free on existing bedding on room-only rates, under-fives eat free and six-to-elevens are half price, which quickly adds up for a family. The honest thing to know is the local pool arrangement: the outdoor pool is generally for children and men, with women using the pool and spa at the neighbouring Waldorf, so plan around that as a family. With private beach access, a kids' club and gentle pricing, it is the practical family base for those who want sand and a resort feel without leaving the city.
Our verdict
The practical, good-value family base for those who want a private beach and a resort feel without leaving Jeddah, and the kids-stay-free deals sweeten it further. Go in aware of the gender-based pool arrangement and request a renovated room.
The rooms
Comfortable, generously sized rooms and suites across a large resort-style complex on the north Corniche, with family rooms and connecting options and children up to eighteen staying free on existing bedding. Cribs are available and the sprawling grounds give little legs plenty of room.

Cribs, big grounds and the shallow private beach edge suit a baby, though check where mum and baby can swim given the pool arrangement.

Parents also ask
Can mothers and children swim together?
The arrangement follows local custom: the outdoor pool is generally for children and men, while women use the pool and spa at the neighbouring Waldorf. Arrangements can change, so confirm at booking where your family can swim together and when.
Is the private beach good for young children?
Yes, it is calm and enclosed with shallow water near the shore, which suits paddling toddlers, though it is a hotel beach rather than a wide open stretch of sand. It is one of the few in-city hotels with real beach access.
Do the kids-stay-free deals really apply?
On room-only rates, children up to eighteen can stay free using existing bedding, under-fives eat free and six-to-elevens are half price. Terms depend on the rate you book, so confirm the details for your dates.
