Rixos Premium Magawish Suites and Villas- Ultra All-Inclusive

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Rixos Premium Magawish? The sheer size of this place – it’s actually more like a small village than a traditional hotel, sprawling along a gorgeous stretch of private Red Sea coastline about 12 kilometers south of Hurghada proper. I mean, we’re talking villas here, not just rooms, and honestly, that makes all the difference when you want to spread out and actually feel like you’re living somewhere rather than just visiting.

The location is pretty clever, actually – far enough from the chaos of downtown Hurghada that you get this peaceful, almost secluded vibe, but close enough that a quick taxi ride gets you to the marina or the old souks if you’re craving some local flavor. The Red Sea here is… well, it’s stunning. Crystal clear water that shifts from turquoise to deep blue, and the house reef is practically right off the beach. I’ve snorkeled in a lot of places, but there’s something special about the coral gardens here – they’re vibrant and surprisingly intact, which isn’t always easy to find along developed coastlines these days.

What really sets this place apart is how they’ve handled the ultra all-inclusive concept. Look, I’m usually skeptical of all-inclusive resorts because the food tends to be mediocre and the drinks watered down, but Rixos actually gets it right. The restaurants – and there are several – serve food that tastes like someone in the kitchen actually cares. The Turkish influence shows up in interesting ways (Rixos is a Turkish brand, after all), and you’ll find some genuinely good mezze alongside the international buffet standards. The villa setup means you’ve got your own space to retreat to when the poolside gets crowded, which it definitely does during peak season – think German and Russian families in winter, lots of Egyptian domestic tourists during their holidays.

Service is where you really feel that 5-star rating. The staff remembers your name, your drink preferences, whether you like your towels changed daily or prefer to keep the same ones. Small things, but they add up. Check-in was smooth, parking is plentiful (important if you’re thinking of renting a car to explore the desert or visit Luxor), and honestly, the whole operation runs like clockwork without feeling overly formal or stuffy.

If I’m being completely honest, the place can feel a bit isolated if you’re someone who loves to explore local neighborhoods and stumble into random cafes – you’re sort of committed to the resort bubble here. But that’s also exactly what some people want, especially families or couples looking for that luxurious escape where everything is taken care of. The beach is pristine, the pools are well-maintained, and there’s enough variety in activities that you won’t get bored even if you stay put for a week. That 8.7 rating? Yeah, it feels about right – this is a place that delivers on its promises without any major surprises, good or bad.

• Faheim from United Kingdom – 4 May 2025 (9/10)

  Everything has been excellent. Welcoming staff showed us around explaining every detail about facilities and services. The rooms were spacious , comfortable and cleansed daily. Golf cars were very helpful to transfer us to restaurants and the beach. Restaurants have been providing excellent variety of every food stuffs . Best quality of veal, meats, chicken and fish. Barbecue was everyday available at lunch and dinner. Fresh vegetables and cooked one were always available. Different types of rice, pastas were always available. Different kinds of cheese , yogurt, fruit and desserts of excellent quality were also always available. The best sandy beach I have ever seen in Hurghada , very well looked after. Very clean water , no stone hurts your feet. The staff on the beach are very devoted to make everyone happy. They collect the jellyfish daily for safety. The lifeguards were always there and rearrange the slides and matts for the swimmers and children to enjoy. Swimming pools , volleyball and activities were available. Entertainment every evening providing dancing songs and music. Gym, , tennis, sauna and jacuzzi were available.check in and out were so easy. Drinks were available everywhere in the room, on the beach, in the restaurant and lobby. Rixos is the best resort in Hurghada 👍
  
  What could be improved: Not on this occasion.

• James from Isle of Man – 19 April 2025 (9/10)

  This is a really beautiful hotel and the photos of the resort do not do it justice. It is like a small village, populated with villas, hotels, pools and catering facilities. We travelled with a young family and there were lots of fun activities for the kids, but we would have had an equally great time as a couple. The hotel ensures that both families and couples can co exist in harmony with quieter spaces for adults only who may want to eat or have a cocktail without disturbance. All of the 6 ala carte restaurants are included in the all inclusive package and offer an excellent range of dining options to suit all tastes. There are also many snack options including a cake and coffee shop, ice-cream parlor serving Movenpick ice-cream, snack outlets serving burgers, kebabs, jacket potatoes and noodles. The options are limitless. We stayed in. Pool villa and if you can stretch to this, I am have to say it is bliss. 2 large double bedrooms which are almost suites in their own right, with a 15 foot ceiling, chandeliers and a patio deck leading out to a private pool. Absolutely worth the extra money, especially if travelling with kids.
  
  What could be improved: We would have seen more of the evening entertainment if the shows started earlier. With an 9 30 start this was a bit late for our children, who are aged 4 and 9. There is a definite towel game which goes on at the main pool and I observed guests putting down towels at 6am and then not returning until mid morning, if at all. This could be better managed by the hotel. Lastly the restaurant booking system requires forward booking to reserve a table and some restaurants were hard to get into. The booking system opens at midnight, which disadvantages those travelling with kids and it would be fairer if it opened at 8am to give all a chance to book.

• Nthabe from South Africa – 16 January 2025 (9/10)

  The family loved the resort. It's not dated, it's clean and the staff (except the Reception, Conciege and Guest Relations teams) are super friendly, helpful and polite. Unlike many All-Inclusive resorts, this one actually offers quality food, an extensive variety and good quality drinks. No short-changing in this area.
  The music and entertainment is also fantastic. Definitely better than ALL resorts we have visited across the world. We also loved the horse-riding. The horse-riding stables are neat and the team is awesome.
  
  What could be improved: – The Reception, Conciege and Guest Relations teams are terribly sour and unhelpful (getting assistance is like requesting a favour)
  – The resort offers quality food, drinks and facilities. However, I think they try to make up costs and boost profits in their ADD ON services. The horse-riding stables is an over-priced and the Spa is just ridiculous in prices (and not worth it). We saw that guests in Hurgarda book spas outside the resorts and we did the same – and the treatments are awesome. Not in the 5 star spa, but the treatment is great.

• Konstantin from United Kingdom – 11 January 2025 (9/10)

  Salt restaurant was superb, management & service top.(reason why I’m actually leaving the review)
  Overall a great holiday, great rooms, nice beach.
  Food was very good, staff attentive and helpful.

• Ashraf from Egypt – 7 January 2025 (9/10)

  Every thing is perfect

• Tudor from Romania – 5 January 2025 (9/10)

  Everything. Ultra exquisite!
  
  What could be improved: They charged us extra for the second child, even though we clearly specified the number and ages of our children in the Booking.com reservation. This seems like a typical way of making extra money, and we’re very disappointed with Booking.com as well. Despite sending 2-3 emails, they simply redirected us to deal with the hotel. It feels like everyone is trying to add extra charges, leaving tourists powerless.

• Diana from Belgium – 29 December 2024 (9/10)

  We had an amazing stay at RIXOS Hurghada! The property is stunning, with a perfect location that offers tranquility and convenience. The high-ceiling rooms are not only spacious but also beautifully designed, adding a touch of elegance to our stay.
  
  The heated pools were a highlight, making swimming enjoyable even during cooler days. The variety of restaurants exceeded our expectations, with each one offering delicious food and impeccable service. There were unlimited drinks and the staff will always make sure we had what we needed. There were also plenty of activities for kids, keeping the little ones entertained throughout the day.
  
  The spa experience was nice, providing the perfect way to relax and unwind. The entire property feels thoughtfully curated, catering to both families and couples.
  
  The staff were great always very welcoming, friendly, helpful and taking well care of us!
  
  We can’t wait to return and highly recommend RIXOS Hurghada to anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable getaway!
