About

Al Nawras Island Resort

Al Nawras Island Resort sits on Jeddah's North Corniche, with direct access to the Red Sea and a private beach area. The property is designed around low-rise villas, each with its own pool and terrace, so you get a sense of privacy that's rare at this price point. It's a 19-minute walk from Al Amwaj Amusement Park and a short drive from other Corniche attractions.

The villas are the core of the experience—spacious, with multiple bedrooms and living areas that suit families or groups. The resort also offers a garden, sun terrace, and BBQ facilities, plus a restaurant that guests consistently praise. It's not a polished city hotel; it's a practical, relaxed base for exploring Jeddah's waterfront.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Private-pool villas with a view — Every villa type comes with its own private pool and a view—either over the sea or the garden. Several guests called out the sunset views from the rooms.
  • Beachfront location on the Red Sea — The resort sits directly on the Corniche, with a private beach area and a lagoon. Guests mention being a 5-minute walk from the Red Sea and enjoying beach access.
  • Spacious rooms for families — Multiple villas offer two bedrooms and up to four beds, making it a practical choice for families or groups. Guests noted the large, comfortable rooms.
  • Helpful and professional staff — Guests consistently mention friendly and accommodating staff, with one naming receptionist Jafar as particularly professional.

Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Check-in is late and check-out is early — Rooms are available from 16:00, and you'll need to be out by 13:00 the next day. That's a shorter window than many resorts offer, so plan your arrival accordingly.
  • No pets allowed — The resort does not accept pets, so if you're traveling with an animal, you'll need to look elsewhere or arrange alternative care.
  • Isolated from the city center — The resort is on the North Corniche, a 19-minute walk from Al Amwaj Amusement Park and away from central Jeddah. You'll likely need a car or taxi for most excursions.
  • Mixed guest experiences at check-in — At least one guest reported a serious issue with a reservation not being honored, leading to a long wait. While not the norm, it's worth confirming your booking directly before arrival.
  • Comfort and facilities rated lower than other aspects — Guest ratings for comfort (5.0) and facilities (6.3) are noticeably lower than staff and location scores, suggesting the physical amenities may not match the setting.

“The only thing I liked was the location. They had my reservation but denied it. It took me and my family over 45 minutes to find a room with direct payment. Despite complaining to management, they started throwing out lies that they didn't get confirmation from Booked.net, which at checkout turned out to be untrue.”

“The sea scenery from the villa, the swimming pool, the beach swimming area/lagoon, the spacious living room, the privacy, the ability to have visitors, and Moevenpick ice cream were all highlights.”
