The Dead Sea Experience
The Hilton’s Dead Sea experience is straightforward: you get access to a maintained private beach where you can float in the hyper-saline water, cover yourself in the mineral mud, and rinse off in the freshwater pools.

Location and Surroundings
The Hilton sits in the northern section of the Sweimeh resort corridor, adjacent to the King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Centre. It’s about 60 kilometers from central Amman (roughly a one-hour drive). The location puts you in the heart of the Dead Sea resort action. Other major resorts like the Kempinski (a few kilometers north) and the Marriott (just a few kilometers south) are nearby. The public Amman Beach area is about 5 to 7 kilometers south, accessible by a short taxi ride if you want budget options. The JETT bus terminus at Amman Beach is also within easy taxi range.
What to Know
The Hilton occasionally hosts conference groups, which can make the pools busier than usual. Check if there are major events happening before you book if you prefer a quieter experience. Pricing varies by season, so the day pass might be on the lower end in winter or mid-week and at the top end during peak times and weekends. Call ahead to confirm pricing and any special packages. Standard Dead Sea safety rules apply (limit soaks to 15 to 20 minutes, avoid submerging your face, wear water shoes).
Tips for Your Visit

- Limit Dead Sea floating to 15 to 20 minutes per soak
- Wear water shoes to protect your feet
