Sharks Bay lies close to the airport, between it and Naama Bay, and is known for resorts built on terraced cliffs above a reef. It suits travellers who want a short arrival and a calm base for snorkelling.
What is Sharks Bay like?
Sharks Bay is a small, quieter bay where the coast drops from a rocky plateau straight to the sea. Many resorts are built in terraces down the cliff, with paths, steps or lifts leading to a narrow beach and wooden jetties that reach out over the reef.
The main draw is the house reef: guests can snorkel or dive right from the hotel. The bay attracts couples, divers and families who prefer a calmer evening, with Naama Bay a short drive away for restaurants and nightlife.
From arrivals to your resort in Sharks Bay
Meeting your driver
After passport control, baggage and customs, the driver waits in the arrivals area with a name sign. The local provider confirms the meeting details by phone or WhatsApp.
Short drive south
The road leaves the airport and heads south along the main highway towards Naama Bay, turning off towards the coast for Sharks Bay.
Resort entrance
Most hotels have a gated entrance with a security check. The car drops you at reception at the top of the cliff.
Down to the sea
Rooms are often spread over several levels of the slope, and hotel staff usually help with bags from reception.
Luggage, kids and snorkel gear
Because the resorts are terraced, it helps to travel with luggage you can manage on steps, and to ask the hotel about rooms closer to reception if you are travelling with small children or older relatives.
A car is usually around €17–24 for up to three people, a minivan for up to about seven usually around €25–35. Declare dive bags or fins when booking, and request child seats in advance if needed.
