02Overview
A first look
Drive south out of Hurghada along the Safaga road and the town gives way to Makadi Bay, a stretch of the Red Sea coast built around resorts. Stella Beach Resort & Spa sits at Km 32, so your days here are likely to revolve around the hotel and the water rather than the streets of the city.
It is described as a resort with a spa, but rooms, restaurants and services change with the dates and the rate. Tell us what matters to you and we will find out what is on offer before you commit. Bookings are made on request, so nothing is confirmed until we have checked availability.
Background
The facts
Stella Beach Resort & Spa Makadi Bay is a five-star hotel in Makadi Bay, a resort area on the Red Sea coast of Egypt. The address is Km 32 on the Safaga road, south of Hurghada and away from the town.
The road it stands on links Hurghada with Safaga. Km 32 is all the address tells us, and how far you will drive depends on where you start from and how busy the road is.
Makadi Bay is a coastal resort district. The hotel is listed as a resort with a spa. We have no date of building, architectural style or heritage status to report.
Room types, restaurants, board bases, the spa, the pool and check-in and check-out times all vary with the booking. Check the room rate and the current opening hours with us before you reserve. Egypt Discovery arranges the booking on request.

Is this for you?
Yes, if
- Adults and families after a Red Sea break in Makadi Bay rather than in Hurghada town. It suits guests happy to ask about rooms, meals and resort services before they book.
Maybe not, if
- Look at a hotel in central Hurghada if you want the town close by. If you need step-free access or particular family facilities confirmed first, this may not be the right pick.

Where you'll eat
We do not have the names, cuisines or opening hours of the restaurants and bars here, and the meal plans on offer are not confirmed either. Because the board basis changes what you pay, tell us if you want breakfast only, half board or all-inclusive and we will find out whether your dates allow it. Treat meals as not included until your rate says so in writing.

Tailor it
Make it yours
Tell us the room type, view and board basis you would like and we will see what is open for your dates. We can also ask about spa services and an airport pick-up.
Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
Use this as the beach part of a longer trip, with Cairo or Luxor for the ancient sites. It is south of Hurghada, so suits anyone wanting a seaside base away from the town.
Accessibility
Who can join this
The resort stands at Km 32 on the Safaga road, below Hurghada. Ask the hotel about step-free routes, lifts, adapted rooms and bathrooms before you book. A resort this size can mean long walks between your room, reception, restaurants, pools and the sand, and loose or uneven ground outdoors is hard going in a wheelchair. If you use a wheelchair or walking frame, or find stairs difficult, ask the hotel to describe the route from your room to the places you will use and whether anyone can help.
Before you go
What to pack & wear
Children & families
Ask the hotel for its minimum age, any rules or rates that depend on a child's age, and whether a child shares the existing beds or needs an extra one. Walking round a large resort with a pushchair may be tiring, and sand, steps and rough paths can stop it in its tracks. Check with the hotel that a high chair is available before you arrive.
These fares are a guide, as prices and rooms move through the year. Do ask us and we will confirm the fare for the days you have in mind.

The setting

Asked & answered
Frequent questions
01Where exactly is Stella Beach Resort & Spa Makadi Bay?
The address is Km 32 on the Safaga road, in Makadi Bay. That puts it south of Hurghada, not in the town itself. If you want to spend time in Hurghada, find out how you will get there and how long it takes before you book.02How many nights can I book?
As many as the hotel has rooms for on your dates. Check-in and check-out times are set by the hotel and shown on your confirmation, so look there before arranging flights or onward travel. The listing itself does not give a minimum or maximum stay.03What is covered by the room rate?
That depends on the rate and the dates. Breakfast, wifi, and use of the pool and beach should not be taken for granted. Read the terms of the rate you are offered, and ask us if any line is unclear.04What would I pay for on top of the room?
Do not assume that meals, spa treatments or transfers are included. What is left out varies with the rate, so look at the board basis, taxes and any extra charges in your booking terms before you say yes.05Will the resort work for someone with limited mobility?
It depends on the room and on the route between your room, reception, restaurants, pool and beach. Ask about step-free access, lifts, bathroom layout and walking distances before booking, and tell us what you need so we can put the questions to the hotel.06Is it a good choice for a family holiday?
Possibly, but check first. Ask about bed arrangements for children, cots, extra beds, meals and any age rules for the dates you want. Do not assume the hotel runs a particular kids' club or activity.07What should I pack?
Sun cream, a hat, sunglasses and light clothes for the Red Sea heat. Add swimwear for the pool or beach, and something that covers shoulders and knees for any visit to a mosque or village. Ask whether towels are provided.08Am I allowed to take photos around the resort?
House rules may apply, particularly near other guests and staff. Ask reception before photographing anyone who works there, be careful around people who would rather not be pictured, and check separately about the spa and pool areas.09When is the best time to go?
It comes down to how much heat you like and what you plan to do. Conditions on the Red Sea coast change through the year, so look at a forecast close to your dates and ask which services run then.10How do I get into Hurghada from here?
Makadi Bay is along the road south of the town, so any trip into Hurghada needs its own transport. Agree the vehicle, the price and the journey time beforehand rather than on the day.
