Rixos Opens Rixos Premium Magawish Bay View — A New Luxury Landmark in Hurghada’s Magawish District
Hurghada — Rixos Hotels Egypt has officially opened Rixos Premium Magawish Bay View, its second resort in Hurghada, further strengthening the brand’s presence on Egypt’s Red Sea coast. The opening, announced on June 23, 2026, marks a significant milestone in Magawish’s transformation into a premier luxury tourism district.

Strategic Significance for Magawish
The new resort sits adjacent to Rixos Premium Magawish Suites & Villas (opened 2021, ranked #4 globally in its category on HolidayCheck 2025). Together, the two properties form one of the largest premium hospitality complexes in Hurghada, creating a destination-scale resort anchor for the Magawish corridor.
This development reinforces Magawish’s position as the fastest-growing investment corridor between Hurghada International Airport and Sahl Hasheesh — an area that has seen 20.3% annual property appreciation, according to MAMO Property market data.
German Market Driving Demand
Germany remains one of Egypt’s most important source markets, with approximately 1.7 million German visitors travelling to Egypt annually. Direct flight connections from Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Cologne make Hurghada a leading sun-and-beach destination for German travellers. The Rixos expansion directly responds to this sustained demand.
Erkan Yildirim, CEO of Rixos Hotels Egypt, stated: “Rixos Premium Magawish Bay View is an important part of our long-term growth strategy in the Red Sea region. We believe Hurghada will continue to strengthen its position within international tourism, and we view the region’s potential through a long-term lens.”
What This Means for Investors
- Infrastructure catalyst: A 442-key luxury resort with marina and equestrian facilities significantly raises Magawish’s profile, driving property values in surrounding compounds
- Tourism demand driver: Ultra-all-inclusive resorts attract year-round tourism, supporting short-term rental occupancy and ADR growth
- German buyer confidence: Direct airlift from 6 German cities + a recognised global brand = sustained European buyer interest in Magawish real estate
- Polish market growth: Poland has emerged as one of Egypt’s fastest-growing source markets, with charters from Warsaw and other Polish cities adding to demand
