Hula Hula Beach Island — Hurghada's Little Slice of Paradise
Just a short boat ride from the Hurghada marina lies a tropical escape that feels a world away from the resort strip — Hula Hula Beach Island. With its white-sand shoreline, impossibly turquoise water, and laid-back tiki-bar atmosphere, it's one of the most enjoyable and photogenic day trips on the Red Sea coast.
Whether you're after pure relaxation on the beach, a fun family day out, or a scenic spot for sunset drinks, Hula Hula delivers a proper island-holiday feel without ever leaving Hurghada behind.
What Is Hula Hula Beach Island?
Hula Hula is a small, privately-run beach island just off the Hurghada coast, built around a relaxed tropical-island theme. The signature carved wooden sign — tiki face, sunglasses and all — sets the tone the moment you arrive: this is a place to switch off, slow down, and enjoy the simple pleasures of sand, sea, and sunshine.
The island features a stretch of groomed white sand, sun loungers and shaded areas, a beach bar serving drinks and snacks, and calm, shallow water that's perfect for swimming and snorkelling.
How to Get There
The island is reached by a short boat trip from the Hurghada marina — typically a 20–30 minute ride, depending on the departure point. Most trips include:
- Hotel pick-up and drop-off in Hurghada
- Return boat transfers to the island
- Beach access and sun loungers
- Optional lunch and drinks packages
At H-Tours, we handle all the logistics so you can simply turn up and enjoy the day.
What to Expect on the Island
White Sand & Turquoise Water
The beach itself is the star of the show — soft, clean white sand fringed by the clear, warm turquoise water that the Red Sea is famous for. The swimming area is sheltered and shallow, making it ideal for families with children and anyone who prefers a gentle, relaxing swim.
Snorkelling
The shallow reefs just off the island are home to tropical fish and colourful corals. Bring a mask and snorkel (or rent one on the island) and you'll be floating above a lively underwater world within minutes of stepping off the boat.
Beach Bar & Relaxation
The island's laid-back beach bar serves cold drinks, fresh juices, and light meals throughout the day. Grab a lounger, order a drink, and let the afternoon drift by to the sound of the waves.
Photos & Sunsets
With its carved tiki sign, driftwood details, and that golden-hour light over the water, Hula Hula is a genuinely photogenic spot — perfect for holiday snaps, couple photos, and an unforgettable Red Sea sunset.

Best Time to Visit
Hula Hula can be enjoyed year-round thanks to the Red Sea's warm water, but the most comfortable experience is from October to April, when the air is warm rather than hot and the sea is a perfect swimming temperature. Summer visits are best done as a morning-to-early-afternoon trip, avoiding the midday heat.
