Rixos opens second resort in Hurghada with 442 rooms and private villas

Rixos Hotels Egypt has opened Rixos Premium Magawish Bay View on Egypt’s Red Sea coast, next to its existing Magawish property in Hurghada. The five-star, ultra-all-inclusive resort adds 442 accommodations, multiple restaurants, pools and shared access to the neighboring resort, aiming to deepen the brand’s luxury footprint in the Red Sea market. Why it matters: - The opening expands Rixos Hotels Egypt’s presence in Hurghada and adds a second resort in the Magawish area. - The property strengthens the brand’s Ultra-Premium All-Inclusive offering on Egypt’s Red Sea coastline. - The resort gives international travelers a new five-star option close to Hurghada International Airport and the beach. What happened: - Rixos Hotels Egypt opened Rixos Premium Magawish Bay View in Hurghada, Egypt, on June 16, 2026. - The new resort sits beside Rixos Premium Magawish Suites & Villas on the Red Sea coast. - The resort is about 7 km from Hurghada International Airport. - Rixos Hotels Egypt CEO and Managing Director Erkan Yildirim said the opening supports the company’s vision of redefining luxury all-inclusive hospitality in the Red Sea. The details: - The resort has 442 accommodations, including premium rooms, suites and private villas. - The room mix includes Superior Rooms, Premium Rooms, suites up to 240 m², and Skyline Suites with private rooftop infinity pools. - The property has 17 private villas, each with its own swimming pool. - Villa Privé offers an even more exclusive stay experience. - The resort includes nine swimming pools, including an infinity pool overlooking the beach. - Guests have direct access to a sandy beach and Red Sea waters for swimming, water sports and relaxation. - Activities include paddleboarding, water skiing, banana boat rides and marina access. - Dining venues include Turquoise Restaurant, Casa Fiesta, Peruana, Rasa Restaurant and L’Olivo Ristorante. - The resort’s bars and lounges include Azure Lounge for villa guests, Infinity Pool Bar, The Gin Time, Society Adults Lounge and Restaurant. - Society Adults Lounge and Restaurant uses a Mykonos-inspired beach club setting. - Wellness offerings include Anjana Spa, hammam rituals and massage treatments. - The resort also offers daytime activities, evening performances and sports and fitness sessions through its Exclusive Sports Club. - Guests also get shared access to the dining, leisure and entertainment facilities at Rixos Premium Magawish Suites & Villas. Between the lines: - Rixos is positioning the new property as part of a larger destination play, not just a stand-alone hotel. - Shared access to both resorts suggests the company wants to widen the guest experience without duplicating every amenity on both sites. - The mix of family-oriented offerings, private villas and adults-focused spaces shows an attempt to serve multiple travel segments in one location. What’s next: - Rixos Premium Magawish Bay View is now open to guests. - The combined Magawish destination is set up to market dining, leisure and entertainment across both Rixos properties in Hurghada. - The resort’s full value will likely depend on how well it attracts international travelers seeking premium Red Sea stays.
