Rixos Opens Second Hurghada Resort — What Magawish Expansion Means for Red Sea Property Investors
Rixos Opens Second Hurghada Resort — 442-Key Luxury Destination in Magawish
Published June 19, 2026 — Rixos Hotels Egypt has opened Rixos Premium Magawish Bay View, a new five-star resort on the Red Sea coast in Hurghada, adding a second property to its growing Egyptian portfolio and cementing Magawish’s position as the city’s most dynamic hospitality corridor.
The 442-key resort, located adjacent to Rixos Premium Magawish Suites & Villas (which opened in 2021), brings the brand’s Ultra-Premium All-Inclusive concept to a second Magawish property, creating an integrated beachfront destination spanning two world-class resorts just 7 kilometres from Hurghada International Airport.
Key Features of Rixos Premium Magawish Bay View
- 442 accommodations — Superior and Premium Rooms, suites up to 240 m², Skyline Suites with private rooftop infinity pools, and 17 private villas each with its own swimming pool
- 9 swimming pools including a beachfront infinity pool
- 5 restaurants — Turquoise (international buffet), Casa Fiesta (South American), Peruana (Peruvian), Rasa (Indian), L’Olivo Ristorante (Italian)
- Anjana Spa — traditional hammam rituals, massage therapies, and wellness programmes
- Marina access with water sports including paddleboarding, water skiing, and banana boat rides
- Shared access to dining, leisure, and entertainment facilities at the adjacent Rixos Premium Magawish Suites & Villas
What This Means for Hurghada Property Investors
- Magawish validation. Rixos — one of the world’s most recognised luxury hospitality brands — has committed to a second resort in Magawish, signalling that the district is now a premier investment corridor. The first Rixos Magawish ranked 4th globally in its category on HolidayCheck’s 2025 list.
- Rental demand uplift. A second luxury resort brings more high-spending tourists to the area, increasing occupancy rates and nightly rates for nearby residential properties, especially serviced apartments and short-term rentals.
- Infrastructure acceleration. Large-scale hospitality investments drive road improvements, utility upgrades, and commercial development — all of which boost property values in surrounding residential compounds.
- Brand confidence. Rixos now operates 8 properties in Egypt, making it one of the country’s largest luxury hotel operators. Its continued investment in Hurghada reflects strong institutional confidence in the Red Sea market’s long-term trajectory.
- Price appreciation. Properties in Magawish have appreciated 12-18% annually, and the Rixos expansion is likely to accelerate this trend. Early positioning in compounds like La Vista, One 7, and Platinum Resort offers pre-appreciation pricing.
Rixos in Egypt — Growing Footprint
The opening marks Rixos Hotels’ eighth property in Egypt. The brand’s Egyptian portfolio now spans Hurghada (2 resorts), Sharm El Sheikh, Alexandria, and Cairo, alongside its recent launch of Rixos Murjana in Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah Economic City — the kingdom’s largest all-inclusive resort with 488 keys and an integrated water park.
Erkan Yildirim, CEO and Managing Director of Rixos Hotels Egypt, stated: “Rixos Premium Magawish Bay View strengthens our vision of redefining luxury all-inclusive hospitality in the Red Sea. Together with Rixos Premium Magawish Suites & Villas, it creates a dynamic destination that brings design, dining, and lifestyle experiences together in one exceptional setting.”
Magawish — Hurghada’s Fastest-Growing District
Magawish has emerged as Hurghada’s most active development zone, driven by its strategic position between Hurghada International Airport and Sahl Hasheesh. Recent launches include Al Mouj Resort (Life Resort/HDA Developments), Tamaraya (Grounds Developments), and multiple residential compounds by leading Egyptian developers. The area now offers the best value-to-growth ratio in the Hurghada market, with entry prices 20-40% below equivalent properties in Sahl Hasheesh while delivering 12-18% annual appreciation.
