Enjoy your day at our private beach at Berenice Beach Club
A beach day with options. Berenice Beach Club gives you a private seaside base within Aqaba’s protected marine park, with pools, sun beds, towels, food, and water activities available in one place. I like the free hotel shuttle and the choice between an active day on the water and a quiet stretch on the beach. The main drawback is that the $23 entry price does not include meals, drinks, snorkeling equipment, boat trips, scuba sessions, or other water sports.
I also like that the club serves families and mixed groups rather than focusing only on nightlife or serious water enthusiasts. You get three pools, including one reserved for adults, plus beach entertainment and a quieter beach area. If you want a fully private, silent retreat, the animation team, games, and music may feel a little lively at times.

Key points before you book
- Free hotel transportation: Shuttle pickup is offered at 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00 in the listed schedule.
- Three pools to choose from: One pool is reserved for adults, while the other facilities suit families and mixed groups.
- Protected marine setting: The club sits within Aqaba’s marine park, making the water activities a central part of the day.
- Entry includes the basics: Your ticket covers beach access, pool use, towels, sun beds, and entertainment.
- Optional water activities cost extra: Snorkeling kits, boat trips, scuba sessions, and water sports are not part of the entry fee.
- A family-friendly format: You can join games and entertainment or settle into the quiet beach area when you want less noise.
Arriving at Aqaba’s private beach club
Your day begins with hotel pickup by the club’s free shuttle. The available pickup times are 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00, so you have some choice over how early you want to start. I would choose the earliest time if you want a full day by the water, especially if you plan to add a boat outing or an underwater session.
The listed location information refers to the Capital Governorate of Amman, while the experience itself is described as being in Aqaba. That is worth checking carefully when you book. Confirm that your hotel is covered by the shuttle and ask for the exact pickup instructions, since the value of free transport depends on how easily you can reach the meeting point.
Once you arrive, the appeal is simple. You have one organized place for swimming, sitting in the sun, eating, ordering drinks, joining activities, and arranging extra marine experiences. You do not need to spend the day moving between separate beaches and rental operators.

What the $23 entry fee actually covers
At $23 per person, the admission is priced as a full beach-club day rather than just a basic shoreline access fee. Your ticket includes the club entry, towels, sun beds, access to beach and pool facilities, entertainment, and the hotel shuttle.
That package makes sense if you plan to use the facilities for several hours. A towel and reserved sun bed can save you the nuisance of carrying beach gear, while the free transportation removes a separate taxi cost. The three-pool setup also gives you a backup if the sea is not your preferred place to swim.
The price does not cover food or drinks. You cannot bring food into the club, so you should plan to buy meals and refreshments on site. That rule is important for families, since food and drinks can add noticeably to the total cost of the day.
The price also excludes snorkeling equipment, boat trips, scuba sessions, and water sports. Think of $23 as your base admission. You can keep the day inexpensive by using the beach and pools, or spend more once you decide which activities suit you.
Finding your place between beach and pool
Berenice Beach Club presents itself as having one of Aqaba’s more natural beaches. The information provided does not promise a soft sandy shore, shallow entry, or a particular type of seabed, so I would avoid arriving with a fixed picture of the beach in mind. The useful point is that you get access to a managed coastal area with sun beds, towels, and nearby facilities.
The beach is divided in spirit between active and quiet areas. The activity side is where you can expect games, entertainment, and access to the water-sports operation. The quieter area gives you a place to read, rest, or enjoy the sea without taking part in every organized activity.
That choice is valuable for mixed groups. One person can join a game while another stays in the shade or sits by the water. Parents may appreciate having several ways to occupy children, although the entertainment means the club is not designed as a silent beach escape.
The sun beds are included, but availability can matter on a busy day. Since the club serves families and mixed groups, arriving earlier gives you a better chance of choosing a comfortable spot close to the part of the property you prefer.
Three pools, including an adults-only option
The club has three pools, with one dedicated to adults. This is one of the more practical features because it gives you a clear alternative to the beach and a separate setting for adults who want pool time without family activity around them.
The pool arrangement also helps if someone in your group is not interested in sea swimming. You can split the day between pool and beach without leaving the property. Families can use the general pool facilities, while adults have a designated place to relax.
The available details do not specify pool depths, opening hours, slides, or lifeguard arrangements. If those points matter to you, ask before booking. I would also confirm which facilities are open during your visit, since entertainment and pool schedules can vary.

Marine activities for a more active day
The protected marine park setting is the reason to consider Berenice Beach Club over an ordinary pool day. You can arrange snorkeling, boat excursions, scuba sessions with experienced instructors, and other water sports from the club.
You will pay extra for all of these activities. Snorkeling kits are not included, so bring your own equipment only if the club permits it, or budget for a rental. Boat trips also cost extra, and the provided information does not give their duration, route, or departure schedule. Ask for those details before committing.
The underwater sessions are presented as being led by experienced instructors. That may appeal if you want a more structured introduction to the sea, but the available information does not specify certification requirements, age limits, or the exact type of session. You should ask the staff about those points if you are new to scuba or traveling with children.
For a simple day, you can skip the paid activities entirely. The entry still gives you the beach, pools, sun beds, towels, and entertainment. For an activity-focused day, plan for the added costs before you arrive, since the headline price covers access rather than a full marine program.
Entertainment, quiet time, and evening events
The club has a dedicated animation team that organizes different games and activities. This is a useful feature for families and mixed groups, especially if you want more than swimming and sunbathing. It also gives children something structured to do during a long beach day.
You are not required to join in. The quiet beach area lets you step away from the games when you want a calmer hour. That balance is one of the club’s better ideas, since a family-friendly beach does not suit everyone at every moment.
The club also advertises evening activities around a bonfire and karaoke on the beach every Friday. These events add a social side to the property, but you should not assume they are part of every daytime visit or included in the $23 admission. The information provided specifically highlights Friday karaoke, so ask about the schedule if this is important to you.
The evening program may suit groups looking for a relaxed social night after time in the water. It may not suit you if you want an early, quiet finish. Check the activity calendar before planning your return.
Food and drinks require a separate budget
Restaurants and beach and pool bars are available, but food and drinks are not included in the entry fee. Since outside food is not allowed, this is one of the most important practical points.
I would treat the $23 as the starting cost, not the final cost. A family ordering lunch, drinks, and snacks can spend considerably more. The benefit is convenience: you can eat and drink without leaving the club or carrying supplies from your hotel.
The available information does not list menus, prices, dietary options, or meal times. If you have a tight budget or specific dietary needs, contact the club in advance. You should also bring only what is permitted, since outside food is specifically prohibited.
Who will enjoy Berenice Beach Club most?
I think the club is best for families, couples, and mixed groups who want several choices in one location. It works particularly well when not everyone wants the same kind of day. One person can use the adult pool, another can relax on a sun bed, and others can arrange snorkeling, a boat outing, or water sports.
It also suits you if you value convenience. Free transport, towels, sun beds, pools, restaurants, and beach access reduce the amount of planning required. You can arrive with a swimsuit and spend the day deciding how active you feel.
The club is less suited to a low-cost beach picnic because outside food is forbidden and meals are extra. It is also not the strongest choice for someone seeking an empty, undeveloped beach. The setting is organized, with entertainment, bars, restaurants, and family activities close at hand.
If your main goal is a serious scuba program, you should ask detailed questions about instructors, equipment, timing, and costs before booking. The club offers these activities, but the basic ticket is not a scuba package.
How to make the day work better
I would start by choosing your pickup time. The 9:00 shuttle gives you the longest possible day, while the later departures may suit you if you prefer a slower morning. Make sure you receive clear hotel pickup instructions.
Pack a swimsuit, sun protection, and any personal beach essentials you normally use. Towels and sun beds are included, so you can leave those behind. Bring money or a payment method for meals, drinks, and optional activities.
If you want a particular sun bed or a quieter position, arrive early and ask where the quiet beach area is located. If you want snorkeling, a boat excursion, or water sports, ask about prices and schedules before settling in.
Finally, decide what kind of day you want before you arrive. The club can be a simple pool-and-beach outing, an active marine day, or a social family day with games and entertainment. The experience works best when you use that flexibility rather than expecting every activity to be included.
Cancellation and booking flexibility
You can reserve your place and pay later, which is useful when your Aqaba schedule is still changing. Cancellation is allowed up to 24 hours before the experience for a full refund.
That policy gives you some protection if weather, transport plans, or another excursion changes your mind. You still need to check the exact booking terms at the time you reserve, particularly if you are adding paid marine activities separately.
Should you book Berenice Beach Club?
Book it if you want an easy, organized day beside the Red Sea with transportation, pools, towels, sun beds, and the choice of paid water activities. I especially like it for groups with different interests, since the beach, adult pool, general pools, quiet area, entertainment, and marine activities give you room to create your own schedule.
Be cautious if you are counting every dollar. The $23 entry fee does not include food, drinks, equipment, boat outings, scuba sessions, or water sports, and outside food is not allowed. For the best value, use the included facilities for most of the day and add only the activity you really want.
I would also confirm the pickup details because of the conflicting location wording, and ask about any specific pool, beach, or activity requirements. If those details fit your plans, Berenice Beach Club offers a practical way to enjoy Aqaba’s coast without arranging every part of the day yourself.
