Resort Description

Lacosta Hotel is an elegant 4* resort in the heart of Aqaba city, with full access to the private Berenice Beach Club.

Jordan's sun-kissed city offers spectacular diving in the Red Sea as well as colourful souks, the lunar-like landscapes of Wadi Rum and the ancient wonders of Petra. Lacosta Hotel puts you at the center of it all, at budget-friendly rates.

All rooms are luxuriously furnished in traditional Middle Eastern style and come with artful city, mountain or partial sea views. Tuck into steaks and seafood on an open-air terrace at the resort's onsite restaurant, or head down to the Berenice Beach Club to use the ocean-front pool, loungers and bar. 

The beach club is just a 15 minute drive away, and is next to the 5* PADI dive center, which the hotel will drop you off at for free. Once there, you can dive and snorkel with friendly sea turtles and dolphins or try a night dive to observe nocturnal sea creatures, crabs, lobsters and shrimp, as they search for a midnight snack.
