Movenpick Resort & Spa Dead Sea Beach
Resort beach and pools with a day-pass option and the Zara Spa.
The Movenpick Resort & Spa Dead Sea sits on the shore at Sweimeh with a private stretch of beach, a Dead Sea pool, freshwater pools and the Zara Spa. Day passes allow non-guests to use the beach, pools and showers, usually with a food-and-drink credit. It is a calm, organised option for a first float, with lifeguards on duty and loungers on the lawn above the shore.
