02Overview

A first look

At Makadi Bay, the Red Sea fills the coastal horizon, and the pace feels removed from the streets of central Hurghada. Days here can center on time by the water, with the option to plan excursions beyond the resort area when you want a change of scene. Makadi Bay lies south of Hurghada, so allow for travel time when arranging visits to the city or other Red Sea destinations.

We arrange the room booking and can help confirm the room category and meal plan before you reserve. Facilities and services vary by booking, so we’ll check the details that matter to your stay.

Background

The facts

Xanadu Makadi Bay is a five-star hotel in Makadi Bay, a resort area on Egypt’s Red Sea coast. Discovery Tours Egypt arranges hotel bookings; the hotel provides the accommodation and related services.

Makadi Bay lies south of Hurghada and is separate from the city center. Its coastal location makes it a base for stays focused on the Red Sea, while travel to central Hurghada requires a separate transfer. Exact distances and journey times depend on the destination and road conditions.

The Red Sea coast is associated with marine habitats and coastal recreation. No specific historical site, UNESCO property, or dated monument is identified as part of this hotel’s location context.

Room categories, meal plans, facilities, and services vary by booking. Confirm the selected room rate, check-in and check-out times, and any included meals or amenities before reserving.

Is this for you?

Yes, if

  • Xanadu Makadi Bay may suit adults and families who want a Red Sea resort base rather than a stay in central Hurghada. It is a practical choice for travelers focused on coastal time, with room categories and meal plans to confirm before booking.

Maybe not, if

  • Choose accommodation in central Hurghada if you want to be near the city’s restaurants and attractions. Makadi Bay is south of Hurghada, so trips into the city require additional travel time.

    Accessibility

    Who can join this

    Xanadu Makadi Bay is in the Makadi Bay resort area, south of Hurghada. The exact step-free routes, room features, and distances between the lobby, rooms, dining areas, and pools should be confirmed with the hotel before booking. Resort paths may involve long walks, uneven paving, steps, or ramps, and beach access can involve sand, which is difficult for many wheelchairs and mobility aids. Ask the hotel to confirm accessible room availability, bathroom layout, elevator access, and assistance options for your dates. Guests who need mobility support should discuss their requirements with us before confirming.

    Before you go

    What to pack & wear

    Children & families

    Minimum age, child rates, and any age-based room rules should be confirmed with the hotel for your dates. Ask whether a child shares existing bedding or requires an extra bed, as this can affect the room rate. Strollers may be useful around the resort but can be difficult on sand, steps, or uneven paths. Confirm in advance whether a crib, high chair, or other child equipment is available.

    Indicative rates only – pricing and rooms fluctuate. Please enquire for live rates on your specific dates.
