Rixos Opens Ultra-Luxury Resort in Hurghada’s Magawish District — What It Means for Property Investors
New Luxury Resort Opens in Magawish
Rixos Hotels has opened Rixos Premium Magawish Bay View, a new ultra all-inclusive luxury resort in Hurghada’s Magawish district — adding 442 rooms, suites, and villas to the Red Sea’s premium hospitality offering. The opening, announced on June 19, 2026, signals continued tourism growth that directly benefits property investors in Hurghada.
Located just 7 kilometres from Hurghada International Airport, the resort enjoys a prime beachfront setting with direct access to the Red Sea. It is the second Rixos property in Magawish, joining the neighbouring Rixos Premium Magawish Suites & Villas, which opened in 2021 and was ranked fourth globally in its category in HolidayCheck’s 2025 rankings.
Resort Features and Facilities
- 442 rooms, suites and villas designed around the brand’s Ultra All-Inclusive concept
- 17 private villas, each with its own swimming pool
- Skyline Suites offering private pools and panoramic Red Sea coastline views
- 9 swimming pools spread across the property
- Marina and equestrian centre — unique additions to Hurghada’s hospitality landscape
- Anjana Spa for wellness and relaxation treatments
- Multiple international dining concepts including Turquoise Restaurant, Casa Fiesta, Peruana, Rasa, L’Olivo and Mykonos
- Water sports including paddleboarding, water skiing and kitesurfing
- Access to facilities at the neighbouring Rixos Premium Magawish Suites & Villas
What This Means for Magawish Property Values
The opening of a second Rixos resort transforms Magawish into a major luxury hospitality hub on the Red Sea. For property investors, this development has several direct implications:
- Higher tourism volume — More luxury accommodation capacity drives stronger short-term rental demand for nearby residential properties
- Premium brand validation — Rixos, part of the Accor group, is one of the world’s leading luxury hotel brands. Its dual-resort commitment signals long-term confidence in Magawish as a destination
- Infrastructure gravity — The combined 800+ keys from both Rixos resorts attract more dining, retail, and service amenities to the area
- Year-round demand — Rixos properties operate year-round, supporting 12-month rental income rather than seasonal spikes
Magawish — Hurghada’s Fastest-Appreciating District
Magawish is already Hurghada’s fastest-appreciating residential area, with property values rising 12–18% annually. The district is strategically positioned between Hurghada International Airport and the luxury resort zone of Sahl Hasheesh, making it a natural corridor for tourism-driven investment.
Current real estate options in Magawish include:
- Platinum Resort Magawish — from €55,345
- One 7 Magawish — from €71,700
- La Vista Magawish Resort — studios and apartments with flexible payment plans
Several new projects are also launching in 2026, including Grounds Developments’ Tamaraya and Life Resort’s Al Mouj — further evidence that Magawish is the most active development corridor in Hurghada today.
What This Means for Investors
With Rixos anchoring the luxury segment in Magawish, the district is poised for:
- Stronger rental yields — More tourists seeking premium accommodation means higher occupancy rates for serviced apartments and managed residences
- Capital appreciation — Luxury brand presence historically lifts surrounding property values by 15–25% in comparable coastal markets
- Year-round demand — Rixos Ultra All-Inclusive properties operate 365 days a year, supporting consistent 12-month rental income
- Foreign buyer confidence — Global hospitality brands validate locations for international investors who may be unfamiliar with the Egyptian market
For investors, Magawish offers a rare combination: entry prices starting from €30,000, annual appreciation of 12–18%, and now the backing of one of the world’s leading luxury hotel brands. The district delivers the best value-to-growth ratio in the Hurghada market.
