About forty minutes north of the city in Obhur Bay, this is the family beach resort Jeddah otherwise lacks: the first true all-inclusive lifestyle resort in the area, with a private beach, a five-acre waterpark and Jeddah's only Rixy Kids Club. The all-inclusive board simply removes the daily maths, so the ice creams, snacks, drinks and the supervised kids' club with its six activity rooms, outdoor yard and private kids' pool are all in. There is a dedicated family beach and pool separate from the adults' areas, plenty of daily entertainment, and villas for families who want their own space. The honest trade-off is distance: you are a real drive from the Corniche sights, the aquarium and Al-Balad, so this is the beach-and-waterpark half of a Jeddah trip rather than the sightseeing half. For a proper family beach holiday with everything included, it is the clear pick.
Our verdict
The clear choice for a proper family beach holiday near Jeddah: a private beach, a waterpark and an included kids' club with zero daily spending decisions. Just accept the drive to the city sights, or pair it with a night or two on the Corniche.
The rooms
A big spread of rooms, suites and private villas set among gardens, pools and a private beach, with plenty of family-sized layouts and villas that give larger families real separate space. Cots and high chairs are standard, and being all-inclusive, the food, snacks and kids' club are already covered.

Parents also ask
How far is it from the Jeddah sights?
It is in Obhur Bay, roughly forty minutes north of the Corniche, so the fountain, aquarium and Al-Balad are a real drive rather than a hop. Many families treat it as a beach resort in its own right and add a night or two in the city for sightseeing.
Is the kids' club really included?
Yes, the Rixy Kids Club, with its activity rooms, outdoor yard and private kids' pool, is part of the all-inclusive board along with meals, snacks and daily entertainment. Confirm the age range and any evening childcare when you book.
Is there a family beach separate from the adults?
Yes, the resort has a dedicated family beach and pool set apart from the adults' areas, which is reassuring with young children. The private beach on Obhur Bay is calmer and clearer than the city seafront.
