The Makadi Palace Hotel, Beach resort in Makadi Bay, Egypt.
The Makadi Palace Hotel is a beach hotel on Makadi Bay, a coastal stretch south of Hurghada on the Red Sea. It sits directly on the water and has several outdoor pools, garden areas, and a private beach section.
The hotel was built in the early 2000s, when Makadi Bay was designated as a new tourism zone along the Egyptian coast. During that period, a wave of resort construction turned what had been an empty shoreline into a known travel destination.
Arabic ornamental details appear in the entrance areas and public spaces of the hotel, giving the building a regional character. The restaurants serve Egyptian dishes such as koshary and grilled fish, which are typical of the area.
The grounds are spread out, so it is worth picking up a map at check-in to find the pools, beach, and restaurants without much walking. The beach is close to the main building and easy to reach on foot.
A natural coral reef sits just off the hotel beach and can be reached by swimming from the shore. Snorkelers can observe many fish species there that are native to Red Sea reefs, without needing a boat.
