Full Body Massage 1 hour with Steam,Jacuzzi and Sauna in Hurghada
Relaxation costs less here. This Hurghada spa visit combines a 60-minute full-body massage with time in a jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna, plus hotel pickup and return transport. At $16 per person, it is priced well below many hotel spas.
I like the reliable pickup service and the strong massage reports, especially for the price. I also like that families and groups can book together, with private massage rooms and a kids area. The main catch is that the setting may feel basic, and some people have had problems with missing facilities, delays, damp towels, or a massage that was too forceful.
Key things to know before booking

- The massage is the main reason to go: Many people found the full hour effective, with particular praise for therapists such as Rahma, Omar, and Hussain.
- Hotel pickup is included from Hurghada: Transport is provided in an air-conditioned vehicle, although pickup instructions can sometimes be unclear.
- The spa facilities are included, but timing matters: Sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi access may not happen automatically, so ask for them as soon as you arrive.
- This is a value spa, not a luxury hotel spa: The price is excellent, but the surroundings may be plain and the service can feel rushed.
- Transfers from some resort areas cost extra: Pickup from Sahl Hasheesh or Makadi Bay costs €5 per person. El Gouna, Soma Bay, and Safaga cost €10 per person.
- The spa areas are mixed: If you wear a hijab, bring a suitable swimsuit or burkini and a swimming cap.
What the two-hour Hurghada spa visit includes

The experience lasts about two hours in total, although the massage itself is scheduled for 60 minutes. The rest of the time is meant for changing, using the wet facilities, and handling the transfer between your hotel and the spa.
The basic package includes:
- Hotel pickup and drop-off in an air-conditioned vehicle
- A 60-minute full-body massage
- Perfumed massage oils
- Jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna use
- A towel
- A welcome drink
- Water, coffee, or tea
- A kids area
That sounds like a full spa circuit, but the order is not always clear. Some people were directed straight to the massage and only discovered later that they needed to ask for the sauna, jacuzzi, or steam room. I would mention all three facilities at check-in, then confirm how much time you have before and after the massage.
The experience is offered by Billy Tours and accepts up to 30 people. That maximum matters if you book during a busy period, since a large group can make the visit feel less personal and may lead to waiting.

Getting picked up from your Hurghada hotel

Pickup is one of the strongest parts of the arrangement. Several people had an on-time driver and an easy ride back to the hotel. One driver was praised for being polite and even allowing music to be connected by Bluetooth, which is a small touch but makes the transfer more pleasant.
Still, do not assume every pickup will run like clockwork. One scheduled 5pm collection arrived at 5:15pm, which was not a serious problem, but the group then waited at the spa for around an hour. Another person had trouble finding the correct group because the pickup instructions were not clear and the driver mainly searched in the hotel reception.
For a smoother start, wait at the exact pickup point given by Billy Tours and keep your phone available. If you are staying outside central Hurghada, confirm the extra transfer charge before booking. Pickup from Sahl Hasheesh and Makadi Bay is €5 per person, while El Gouna, Soma Bay, and Safaga are €10 per person.
The included vehicle is described as air-conditioned, but one account found the minibus hot while it waited to collect other people. This is worth remembering in Hurghada, where even a short delay can feel long in the heat.
Finding the spa in an unfinished shopping area
The spa is located in or near an older, partly developed shopping mall close to Hurghada Marina. Do not expect a grand hotel entrance or a polished resort lobby. The outside location can look worrying at first, especially if you have just left a smart beach hotel.
Once inside, the picture is more mixed. Some people found the spa clean, pleasant, and relaxing. Others found the setting plain, with blank walls, background voices, and little atmosphere. One person described the location as a more or less empty mall but found the spa itself much nicer than expected.
That contrast is central to this experience. You are paying for the treatment, not the decor. If you want candles, soft music, polished interiors, and a quiet luxury setting, book a hotel spa instead. If you mainly want a solid massage at a low price, the modest entrance should not put you off.
There is a security box for valuables, which is useful. You should still bring only what you need and check the storage arrangement before your treatment begins.
The massage: usually the strongest part

The full-body massage is scheduled for one hour and is the reason this experience earns its best marks. People described the therapists as friendly, professional, and accommodating, with several calling the massage excellent or very good.
Rahma and Omar received particular praise, while Hussain was thanked for providing a good massage. One male customer was pleased to be treated by a male masseuse, showing that it is worth stating your preference when you arrive. The service can be arranged for families and groups, with each person receiving a private massage.
The massage uses perfumed oils. However, one person said no essential or perfumed oil was used, so if scent matters to you, ask the therapist to confirm the oil before treatment begins.
Pressure is the most important point to manage. One massage was described as too hard and remained uncomfortable even after repeated requests to soften the pressure. Strong massage can leave you sore for several days, especially if your muscles are tense, but discomfort should not be treated as a measure of quality.
Tell the therapist at the beginning:
- How firm you want the pressure
- Which areas are sore or sensitive
- If you prefer a male or female therapist
- If you do not want scented oil
- If you need the massage adjusted during the session
The best reports describe a full hour that left the person feeling refreshed and looser. The less positive reports describe a massage that felt shorter than advertised or too intense. Keep an eye on the start time and speak up early if the pressure is wrong.

Jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna: use them strategically

The wet facilities add value, but they are also the least reliable part of the experience. Some people enjoyed the jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna and found that they turned a simple massage into a pleasant spa visit. Others used only a few minutes of one facility or did not see all three.
Timing seems to be the main issue. If you do not ask about the facilities, staff may send you directly to the massage, then to the changing room. One group had only five minutes in the sauna before being called for treatment. Another person reached the steam room after the massage, but it was already late and there was little time left.
I would ask three direct questions when you arrive:
- Can I use the jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room today?
- Should I use them before or after the massage?
- How much time is available for each?
In hot weather, the sauna may not appeal. One family skipped it because the outside temperature was already around 41 degrees Celsius, while they still enjoyed the jacuzzi and massage. The steam room may be more comfortable for some people, but you should not expect a long, carefully timed circuit unless the staff explains the schedule.
The spa areas are mixed rather than separated by gender. If you wear a hijab or prefer more coverage, bring a burkini or another suitable swimsuit, along with a swimming cap if needed.
Cleanliness, comfort, and the small details

The condition of towels and treatment rooms is the biggest practical concern. Some people found the spa clean and pleasant. Others encountered a damp towel that appeared to have been used by someone else, which is not acceptable in a massage setting.
The atmosphere can also be very plain. One treatment room had blank walls, no music, no incense, and voices carrying in from nearby areas. None of this prevents a good massage, but it can make relaxation harder.
The included welcome drink, water, coffee, or tea is another inconsistent detail. Several people did not receive a drink, even though it was included. If you want water after the massage, ask for it rather than assuming it will arrive automatically.
These details matter because they shape the difference between a bargain treatment and a relaxing spa day. At $16, you can reasonably accept basic decor. You should not have to accept a damp towel or a missing service without raising it with the staff.
Is $16 good value in Hurghada?

For the right kind of visitor, yes. A 60-minute full-body massage at $16 is far cheaper than the usual hotel spa price, and the included pickup makes the deal stronger. You also receive access to three wet facilities, at least in principle, plus towels and refreshments.
The value becomes less clear if you are booking mainly for the jacuzzi, sauna, or steam room. Those facilities were not always available for long, and some people did not receive access to all of them. The package is best viewed as a low-cost massage with possible spa extras, not as a guaranteed two-hour luxury circuit.
Group discounts may make it attractive for families or larger parties. One group of eight adults and two children was able to arrange massages together, and the kids area may help families manage the visit. Still, a group of up to 30 people can create delays, so avoid choosing a tight schedule afterward.
The service also suits people staying in Hurghada who want an easy break from the sun, sightseeing, or beach activities. It is less suitable if you need a quiet, high-end setting or have limited patience for waiting.
How to make the visit go better
A few simple steps can protect your time and comfort:
- Confirm your pickup point and resort surcharge before the day.
- Arrive ready to explain your preferred massage pressure.
- Ask for the wet facilities immediately after check-in.
- Confirm whether the massage will happen before or after the jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room.
- Check the towel before lying down.
- Ask for water or the promised drink if it is not offered.
- Bring suitable swimwear for the mixed spa areas.
- Avoid scheduling another activity immediately afterward in case transport or treatment runs late.
- Tell the manager promptly if the pressure, timing, or cleanliness is not right.
The staff responses tend to be polite, but the practical service can vary. Direct, clear requests are more useful than hoping the full package will happen automatically.
Who should book this massage?
I would recommend it to a budget-minded visitor who wants a competent massage, included hotel transport, and the chance to use basic spa facilities. It is also a sensible choice for couples, families, and groups who want to book the same activity together.
It suits you especially well if you care more about the treatment than the surroundings. The massage itself receives the most consistent praise, and several people found the value excellent.
I would hesitate if you need strict timing, spotless luxury, quiet rooms, or a guaranteed sauna and jacuzzi session. You may also want a different option if you dislike strong pressure or expect staff to explain every part of the visit without being asked.
Final verdict: book for the massage, not the polish
This Hurghada experience offers impressive value at $16. The included transfer, full-hour massage, and possible use of the jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna make it an easy add-on to a beach holiday.
My advice is simple: book it for the massage and transport, then treat the spa facilities as a bonus. Confirm the schedule, request gentle pressure if that is your preference, and check the towel and treatment setup. With realistic expectations, this can be a very good low-cost break. If you want a refined hotel-spa atmosphere, pay more and choose accordingly.
Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time. Cancellations made within 24 hours are not refundable.
