Visiting the Dead Sea, Jordan

2/ Visit a Dead Sea Resort with a Day Pass

If you love the idea of private beach access and a more relaxing Dead Sea experience but don’t have the time – or the cash – to stay overnight, the good news is that almost all the resorts offer day passes to visitors (the only exception is the super luxurious Kempinski, where facilities are for staying guests only).

This permits you to access the private beach and most or all of its associated facilities (i.e. sunloungers, mud pools, swimming pools). It doesn’t however allow you to have access to the hotel itself, its spas, or – in the case of some of the more expensive options – all the swimming pools.

Day pass prices vary considerably between resorts, with the cheapest (Dead Sea Spa Hotel) costing around 20 JD per adult and then increasing to as much as 75 JD per person for the Marriott. Prices also increase at weekends and food will always be charged in addition.

Prices as of 2025 are:

· Marriott. 50 JD for 3 pools, beach, and towel; 75 JD for three pools, beach, towel, and 25 JD credit voucher for lunch. Day passes are only available if the hotel is not at full occupancy. Open sunrise to sunset. 

· Hilton. 50 JD includes three pools, beach, towel, and lunch. Open 10am – 6pm. 

· Crowne Plaza. 45 JD includes pools, beach, towel, and buffet lunch. Open 9am – 6pm. 

· Mövenpick. 45 JD weekday and 55 JD weekend (Thursday – Saturday), pool, beach, towel, plus 15 JD food and beverage credit. Limited to couples and families. Open 7.30am to sunset.

· Holiday Inn. 30 JD includes four pools, beach, and towel; 40 JD includes four pools, beach, towel, and buffet lunch. Free for kids under 3, those and 3-12 years cost 15 JD. Open 7am – sunset.

· Grand East. 25 JD includes three pools, beach, lunch. 2 JD for a towel. 12 JD for children aged 3-10. Open 9am – sunset. 

There is no need to book your Dead Sea day pass in advance, but we would recommend contacting the resort to confirm prices.

If you’re visiting the Dea Sea on a day trip tour, it’s important that you confirm with the tour provider in advance whether your day pass is included in the price – for example, this one includes it whereas this one doesn’t.

Travel Tip // During your Dead Sea travel planning, you may come across ‘Amman Beach’. Whilst technically a public beach, it still charges a fee to access (around 20 JD). The online reviews are really quite abysmal (dirty, full of litter, broken chairs etc), however when we visited, the beach was cordoned off so we were unable to confirm or make our own judgement.

Our research makes us think it’s definitely not worth the money but, if you do visit or find it open, we’d love to hear your opinion in the comments.

There is also no ‘Dead Sea beach’, in the sandy sense, outside the man-made areas belonging to the resorts.
