Rixos Opens New 442-Room Resort in Hurghada’s Magawish Bay
Rixos Opens New 442-Room Resort in Hurghada’s Magawish Bay
Rixos Hotels Egypt has opened Rixos Premium Magawish Bay View — a new 442-room luxury resort in Hurghada, signalling continued confidence in the Red Sea’s booming tourism and real estate market.
A Major Addition to Magawish’s Skyline
The new resort is located just seven kilometres from Hurghada International Airport, directly adjacent to the existing Rixos Premium Magawish Suites & Villas. Together, the two properties form one of the largest integrated resort complexes on the Red Sea coast.
The property features 442 accommodation units including rooms, suites, and private villas. Some suites span up to 240 square metres, while 17 private pool villas offer the ultimate in luxury beachfront living.
What Makes This Resort Stand Out
- Skyline Suites with private pools, terraces, and panoramic Red Sea views
- Nine swimming pools including an infinity pool overlooking the sea
- Direct marina and beach access for water sports enthusiasts
- Equestrian centre for horse riding along the shoreline
- Cross-resort access — guests can use restaurants and facilities at the neighbouring Rixos property
Why This Matters for Hurghada Property Investors
The opening of Rixos Premium Magawish Bay View is more than just a hotel launch — it’s a strong market signal for property investors considering the Magawish district.
Key Investment Implications
- Infrastructure validation: When a global brand like Rixos invests in a second major property in the same district, it confirms the area’s long-term growth potential.
- Rental demand boost: 442 new luxury rooms = thousands of additional tourists visiting Magawish annually, driving demand for nearby rental apartments.
- Property value uplift: Proven hotel investment typically leads to 15–25% appreciation in surrounding residential properties over 2–3 years.
- Year-round occupancy: The resort targets British and European tourists seeking year-round sun, supporting 12-month rental income for nearby investors.
Magawish: Hurghada’s Fastest-Growing Investment Zone
Magawish has emerged as one of Hurghada’s most dynamic property corridors in 2026. The district sits between the airport and Sahl Hasheesh, offering:
| Factor | Magawish Advantage |
|---|---|
| Average price per m² | €350 – €600 |
| Rental ROI | 8–12% annually |
| Airport proximity | 10–20 minutes |
| Key developments | Rixos (2 properties), Platinum Resort, La Vista, Al Mouj, Trivana |
| Target buyers | European investors, Egyptian expats, remote workers |
British Tourism Driving Demand
Over one million British travellers visit Egypt annually, with Hurghada as the primary beach destination. The resort is served by direct flights from London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, and Glasgow — making it easily accessible for UK buyers and renters alike.
Erkan Yildirim, CEO of Rixos Hotels Egypt, stated: “Rixos Premium Magawish Bay View represents an important milestone in our growth vision for the Red Sea. We strongly believe in Hurghada’s growing position within international tourism.”
