Things to do in Mahmya Island
Setting sail from the resort of Hurghada, you’ll wonder how only an hour by boat has brought you to the Caribbean. With soft sand and a dazzling turquoise sea, the eco-resort of Mahmya really does have that desert island vibe. With plenty of loungers, parasols and a beachfront restaurant, you can stretch out and relax for the day.
Mahmya’s private beach club operates with sustainability at the forefront of its mission, bringing a luxe experience to Hurghada whilst keeping the environmental impact low. It was established in collaboration with the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency, and as it is located inside the Giftun Island National Park, the conservation angle has been a prominent focus. You’ll notice that the structures and beach equipment are made of natural materials.
While you are enjoying your castaway experience at Mahmya beach, you might not feel like leaving your comfy lounger. But it would be a shame to miss out on some fabulous snorkelling directly from the beach, or even better, at the offshore snorkel spots where marine life thrives. Colourful fish and corals are the major draw, but keep an eye out for starfish, rays, octopus, moray eels and possibly even turtles and dolphins.

Reviews Mahmya Island
“Guide had poor knowledge and kept leaving us behind. He then went on to ask for a £30 tip”
“Was good boat trip, nice island & good snorkelling with good lunch”
“Niet opgehaald. Zou onze fout zijn. Zat bij verkeerde hotel. Bijna afgezet bij verkeerde hotel. Reisleiding bij snorkelen had meer haast dan dat we konden kijken”
“Wir waren vor Corina schon einmal da. Es waren mindestens 50 Schiffe auf der Insel, wir sahen wie altes Öl na Meer gelassen wurde. Es waren viel zu viele Menschen auf der Insel,, circa 1600-1800 Menschen. Der Schnorchelausflug mit dem Boot war für 40 Minuten geplant . Es waren so viele Menschen im Meer, das man sich in den Gruppen verirrt hat und wir sind gute Schnorchler. Vor der Abfahrt von der Insel gehen 17 Uhr muss man noch Trinkgeld geben, es wird nicht locker gelassen, bis man etwas hat”
