The sandy, shallow lagoon beach at the hotel is perfect for swimming. Towels, chaise lounge and umbrellas are free of charge. The Sea Beach for Rihana Resort is situated in the Mangroovy area, which is an environmentally protected area. It is a children friendly beach with shallow water.
At the beach is also a Beach Bar & Restaurant, where you will be served with soft drinks and water, and enjoy a light lunch with a small cold buffet, comprising a variety of salads, sandwiches & pasta. The shuttle bus takes 10 minutes from the hotel and runs every 1 hour to the beach and back for free.

Seasonal conditions
Makani Beach Club is the perfect destination all around the year. The temperatures are warm, with constant side on-shore wind, and on average there more than 70% good kiting days each year. The conditions are perfect for kiters of all levels with a lagoon that has flat water with a sandy bottom without reef or stones. Our lagoon is also unique in El Gouna, as even during low tide we still have good water depth to kitesurf safely, allowing our guests to get out and have a session anytime during the entire day. There is a high and low tide every 12 hours with up to 80cm difference in water depth between them. We have thousands of square meters of soft, sandy bottom flat water off of our beach, so there is always somewhere to find a safe depth for your experience.
