Movenpick Resort Aqaba was the first 5* resort to arrive in Aqaba, offering a perfect blend of authentic Jordanian style, luxurious surroundings and easy access to adventure.
Set in the heart of Aqaba, yet still on the shores of the Red Sea, Movenpick Resort Aqaba provides the best of both worlds and each spacious room is furnished with traditional Jordanian style in mind. The addition of fully-stocked mini bars, large flat screen TVs, bath tubs and balconies brings these peaceful spaces into the 21st century. Lounge by the pool, tucked away amongst lush foliage and boasting a Jacuzzi tub - or stroll down to the beach to cool off in the sea.
If you're looking for something more active, choose from an extensive list of daily options including yoga on the beach, sunset cruises on a wooden sailing ship, kite-surfing, jet skiing and a well-deserved visit to the spa. Beyond the resort lies a world of adventure above and below the waves. Divers and snorkelers can head down to the 4 km marine park by boat, where a bounty of corals and reef life reside. Disover the sunken plane, tank and 70m long shipwreck all within 30 m of the surface, making them great for both new and experienced divers.
All PADI Travelers at Movenpick gain exclusive free access to the Berenice Beach Club, where you can grab a post-dive beer and admire the sunset over the Red Sea and Egyptian mountains beyond. Take a day out of your diving schedule to visit the incredible Wadi Rum desert, or witness Petra, a dusty wonder of the world.
Foodies mustn't miss the best seafood restaurant in town at The Red Sea Grill. Friendly, attentive staff serve up freshly-caught seafood, in front of incredible ocean views. For baked goods, there's the in-house bakery, and for more a casual dining experience choose from four other cafes, bars and restaurants set within the resort. A leisurely 10 minute stroll from the resort will leave you in the middle of Aqaba's old town, surrounded by shops, cafes and shisha lounges.
