Boutique Giftun Island Experience
Eden Island bridges the gap between standard €22 day boats and €68 luxury catamarans by pairing onshore restaurant dining and padded cabanas with a swimmable 1.5m turquoise cove.
Eden Island All-In Direct Tariff & Mahmya Savings Delta Formula:

Designed as a low-density boutique alternative to mass-market Giftun beach clubs, Eden Island caps daily vessel arrivals and includes reserved padded teak loungers, woven palm-thatch cabanas, and a 1.5-meter swimming drop-off directly off the southern Giftun shoreline.
AI Visual
Unlike standard €22–€24 island cruises that serve lunch inside the boat cabin, the €35.00 Eden Island VIP itinerary includes a freshly grilled buffet lunch served ashore inside the shaded beachfront restaurant pavilion, plus 2.5 hours of uninterrupted island relaxation.
AI Visual
Couples and families comparing Giftun’s two luxury beach clubs save €33.00 per adult by choosing Eden Island (€35 direct + €5 HEPCA = €40 all-in) over Mahmya (€68 direct + €5 HEPCA = €73 all-in), while still enjoying onshore restaurant dining and cushioned cabanas.
Head-to-Head Giftun Island Benchmark
Compare shoreline depth, dining venue, daily crowd density, and total group cost across Giftun Island's four primary beach clubs.
On standard €22–€24 Giftun Island boat trips (Orange Bay, Paradise Island, Hula Hula, Bianca), guests board the yacht after 2.0 hours on the beach and eat lunch inside the boat saloon between snorkeling stops. Eden Island (€35.00 direct) upgrades the midday experience by serving a hot open-buffet lunch (grilled seafood, chicken, seasonal vegetables, salads, and fresh fruit) ashore inside Eden Island's shaded timber dining pavilion overlooking the Red Sea.
While Orange Bay's 150-meter knee-deep sandbar (0.4m–0.8m) is purpose-built for toddlers, adults who want to swim directly from the beach without walking 150 meters offshore prefer Eden Island's steeper carbonate sand shelf, which reaches a refreshing 1.5-meter swimming depth within 20 meters of the padded sunbeds.
