02Overview
A first look
Makadi Bay is where the Red Sea takes over the view. It feels far from the traffic of Hurghada, and the rhythm of a stay is set by the water: a swim, a long lunch, perhaps a day out by boat or by road when you fancy a change. Hurghada lies to the north, so build in some driving time if you want to head there.
We handle the room booking and can help you settle on a room type and meal plan first. Facilities and services differ between bookings, so we check the points that matter most to you. Hotels are booked on request, which means nothing is confirmed until we have checked availability.
Background
The facts
Xanadu Makadi Bay is a five-star hotel in Makadi Bay, a resort area on the Red Sea coast of Egypt. Egypt Discovery books the room on request; the hotel provides the accommodation and its services.
Makadi Bay lies south of Hurghada and is not part of the city. The coast makes it a base for a seaside stay, and a trip into Hurghada needs a separate transfer. How far you drive depends on the destination and on traffic.
The Red Sea shore is known for its reefs and for coastal pastimes. No historic site, World Heritage property or dated monument is tied to the hotel's location.
Room types, meal plans, facilities and services differ by booking. Confirm the room rate, the check-in and check-out times and any meals or extras with us before you reserve.

Is this for you?
Yes, if
- Adults and families who would like a Red Sea base rather than a hotel in the middle of Hurghada. A good fit for people mostly after time by the coast, who are happy to settle the room type and meal plan before booking.
Maybe not, if
- Pick a hotel in central Hurghada if you want restaurants and sights on your doorstep. Makadi Bay is a drive south of the city, so any visit there adds travel time.
What lingers

- 02Right in Makadi Bay, by the Red Sea

Worth knowing
How this compares
Most people compare Hurghada hotels with resort stays further down the coast. Xanadu Makadi Bay is in Makadi Bay, not the city, so it offers the sea rather than quick access to the town.

Dining
Where you'll eat
Nothing reliable is available to us on the hotel's restaurants, bars, menus or opening hours, or on which meal plans it offers. Do not take it for granted that breakfast, half board or all-inclusive comes with the room. Ask us to check which restaurants are open on your dates and what each rate covers. It is worth doing when you compare room prices, as the meals included can change the real cost of the stay.

Tailor it
Make it yours
We can book the hotel as one part of a bigger Egypt trip and help you compare room types and meal plans. Ask about adding trips or an extra night or two; confirm any upgrade and your meals before you reserve.
Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
It can be the Red Sea chapter of an Egypt trip, alongside Cairo or Luxor for the ancient sites. Makadi Bay is south of Hurghada, so budget some road time if you want the city.
Accessibility
Who can join this
Xanadu Makadi Bay is in the Makadi Bay resort district, south of Hurghada. Please confirm with the hotel the step-free routes, the features of your room and how far it is from reception, restaurants and pools. Paths in resorts can be long, paving uneven and some places reached by steps or ramps. The beach is sand, which is awkward for many wheelchairs and walking aids. Ask the hotel whether an adapted room is free, what the bathroom is like, whether there is a lift and what help is offered. If you need support to get around, talk to us before you book.
Before you go
What to pack & wear
Children & families
Ask the hotel about the minimum age, what children pay and any age-linked rules for rooms on your dates. A child sharing the beds or needing an extra one can affect the cost. A pushchair can help around a resort, though sand, steps and rough paths make it harder. Check beforehand whether a cot, high chair or other child equipment can be supplied.
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.
Location
The setting
The only address we hold for Xanadu Makadi Bay is the name of the area, Makadi Bay, on Egypt's Red Sea coast. There is no street name and no named landmark to measure from, so we do not quote distances or walking times. For getting to the hotel and moving around the area, ask us what transport is available. Think of this page as describing a hotel stay, not a sightseeing programme, and tell us how you would like to spend your time so we can suggest a suitable room.

Asked & answered
Frequent questions
01For how long can I stay at Xanadu Makadi Bay?
The listing shows a single day, but you decide the number of nights when you book. Your confirmation gives the exact arrival and departure dates, because rooms are booked by the night.02What is the way from Hurghada to the hotel?
Xanadu Makadi Bay is in Makadi Bay, south of Hurghada, and not in the town centre. We can arrange a transfer on request. Ask us for the journey time and the arrangements for your dates before you book.03What comes with the room?
It depends on your rate and meal plan. Breakfast, the pool, the beach and wifi are things to confirm on the reservation, as not every rate will have them.04What is left out of the rate?
Excursions are extra, and so may be spa treatments and airport transfers. Before you reserve, ask us to confirm exactly what is excluded, which meals are covered and whether any taxes apply.05Is the hotel easy to get around for guests with reduced mobility?
Access varies between rooms and between facilities, so it is best to confirm what you need. Ask about step-free routes, an adapted bathroom and the way from your room to the pool, the beach and the restaurants.06Can I bring my children?
It is a resort in a Red Sea holiday area, but the rules for children depend on the room and the booking. Check the minimum age, the beds on offer, supervision rules and access to the pools with the hotel in advance.07What do I need to pack?
A hat, sun cream, swimwear and comfortable shoes for the coast. Add clothes that suit whatever you have planned. Find out whether towels and other basics are supplied with your rate.08Are there rules about photography?
They can differ between public spaces and private areas of the hotel. Ask reception if you are unsure, and do not photograph other guests or staff unless they agree.09Which time of year is best?
Makadi Bay is a place for the beach and the sea, so the answer depends on the temperatures you like and what you want to do. Look at the weather expected for your dates and ask us about availability.10Is the hotel close to the middle of Hurghada?
No. Makadi Bay is a resort area south of the city, so you need a transfer to get into town. The journey time depends on traffic and where you are going.

Albatros Makadi Resort has five stars and an address in Makadi Bay, which belongs to the Hurghada area of Egypt’s Red Sea Governorate. That puts you in a beach-resort district on the coast, a good way from the town centre and its traffic. The listing gives us the name, the star rating and the address, but not the room you will get or the board basis, so we agree both with you before anything is booked. Egypt Discovery is a licensed Egyptian tour operator and reserves the hotel on request. Your written confirmation is the place to see what the rate covers.
MakadiSunrise Royal Makadi Resort, Makadi Bay
Sunrise Royal Makadi Resort carries five stars and has its address in Makadi Bay, on the Safaga Hurghada Road beside the Red Sea. It is a place for beach days and long afternoons by the water rather than city sightseeing. Room types, board basis and facilities are not set out in what we hold, so Egypt Discovery asks the hotel about them for your dates before you commit. Hotels are booked on request, and we will point out anything that needs a decision. Because the resort is in a bay and not in a town centre, it helps to think early about how you will reach Hurghada or the airport.
