Orange Bay

Orange Bay is a little piece of paradise, where azure waters meet white sandy beaches, creating the perfect place to relax. It’s more than just a beach — it’s a true island oasis, designed to help you forget the rush of everyday life and enjoy every moment.

Once you arrive at Orange Bay, you’ll feel as if you’re on a deserted island, but with all the comforts you need. Silence, the rustle of palm trees, and the gentle sound of waves create a unique atmosphere of peace. Here, you can simply stretch out on a sun lounger, close your eyes, and listen to the sea, or go snorkeling to explore the fascinating underwater world of the Red Sea.


Price

  • Without diving — Adults: $20, Children: $10

  • With diving (1 dive) — Adults: $25, Children: $13

One dive: up to 15 minutes per person (including preparation), depth up to 7 meters. If you refuse to dive on site, the program price remains unchanged.


Orange Bay vs. Paradise Island — What’s the Difference?

Both areas are located on the same Big Giftun Island, just 15 minutes apart by yacht.

  • Depth: deeper on Paradise; Orange Bay is shallow, great for children.

  • Atmosphere: Paradise is calmer, with fewer people.

  • Activities: SUP board rental is available at Orange Bay.

  • Rest areas: all under one large shaded area on Orange Bay; on Paradise, separate huts made of palm branches.

  • Photo zones: more extensive on Orange Bay (though Paradise has them too).

  • Water color: more striking shades on Orange Bay, but both are beautiful.

  • Time ashore: 1.5–2 hours at Orange Bay; 1–1.5 hours at Paradise (depending on guide’s decision).

  • Food: included on Paradise Island.

  • Policy: at Orange Bay, outside food and drinks are not allowed; at Paradise, checks are not strict.
