Rixos Opens Second Hurghada Resort in Magawish — 442-Key Luxury Property Signals Growing Red Sea Confidence
Hurghada, Egypt — Rixos Hotels Egypt has opened Rixos Premium Magawish Bay View, its second resort in Hurghada, marking a major vote of confidence in the Red Sea’s tourism and real estate market. The new property, which opened on June 18, 2026, brings 442 luxury accommodations to the Magawish district, located just 7 kilometres from Hurghada International Airport.
The resort introduces Rixos’ signature Ultra-Premium All-Inclusive concept to the area, offering a portfolio of premium rooms, 240 sqm suites with private rooftop infinity pools, and 17 private villas — each with its own swimming pool. Leisure facilities include nine swimming pools, a modern marina, and a comprehensive Anjana Spa.
What This Means for Magawish Real Estate
The opening of a second Rixos property in the same district reinforces what MAMO Property has been highlighting throughout 2026: Magawish is emerging as Hurghada’s premier investment corridor. The area sits on the direct urban extension from the airport toward Sahl Hasheesh, making it one of the most strategically positioned districts on the Red Sea coast.
Rixos Premium Magawish Suites & Villas, the brand’s first Hurghada property that opened in 2021, was ranked fourth globally in its category by HolidayCheck in 2025 — demonstrating that world-class hospitality can thrive here. The new Bay View property effectively doubles Rixos’ capacity in Magawish, creating one of the most comprehensive premium leisure complexes in the region.
Tourism Growth Driving Property Demand
Egypt welcomed nearly 19 million tourists in 2025, and the Red Sea corridor continues to absorb a growing share of international arrivals. Poland has emerged as a key European source market, with over one million Polish travellers visiting Egypt annually. This sustained demand growth supports both the hospitality sector and the broader property market, as investors seek assets in areas with proven international appeal.
What This Means for Investors
- Brand validation: A global hospitality group opening a second resort in the same district signals deep confidence in the area’s long-term prospects.
- Infrastructure catalyst: A 442-key resort with marina, multiple pools, and equestrian facilities upgrades the entire district’s amenity base.
- Short-term rental opportunity: Premium resorts attract year-round tourism demand, supporting STR yields in surrounding residential compounds.
- Capital appreciation: Areas with major hospitality investments historically see the strongest property value growth in the Red Sea market.
Magawish district has already achieved an estimated 20.3% annual appreciation in 2025-2026, according to MAMO Property’s market analysis, driven by the airport proximity and the expanding hospitality infrastructure.
