Just footsteps from a beautiful beach

Perched on Egypt’s sweeping Red Sea coast, Fort Arabesque is a haven for beach lovers. This luxury hotel sits on a caramel-coloured curve of sand in popular Makadi Bay and comes with facilities that could persuade even the keenest tanner from their sunbed. 

Here, you can count four outdoor swimming pools – plus one that's just for kids – edged by tropical gardens. Some even come with extras like water features or a swim up bar. There are plenty of activities to get involved with, too – think beach volleyball, table tennis and all manner of watersports down at the beach. There’s even a coral garden just offshore – you can snorkel to it without taking a boat trip. For little ones, there’s a kids’ club. 

What Fort Arabesque has to offer

    Activity filled beach

    Right on the beach, the hotel offers lots of opportunity to enjoy seaside activities. Whether you’d just like to relax, you want easy access to a fully stocked beach bar, or you’re a stickler for water sports, Fort Arabesque has you covered.

    Five swimming pools

    Yes you read that right, there’re five swimming pools to choose from here. All overlook the beach, and as a plus three are heated on request.

    The Club 159

    If you want yummy cocktails, live Jazz music, and an extensive selection of wine and bubbly, this restaurant is for you. Right on the beach you can enjoy Brazilian BBQ on the patio, and candlelit à la carte dinner at night.

    Find out more about Makadi Bay

    Just 30 kilometres down the coast from Hurghada, this good-looking resort is a holidaymaker's heaven on the Red Sea Riviera. Holidays to Makadi Bay are particularly popular for families with children thanks to its rather unique entertainment attractions.

    Studded with hotels and spas, it's one of the newer resorts on the block and features a relaxed atmosphere with a gentler vibe than Hurghada. Yet, there's plenty on offer for all ages and stages. Fine sandy beaches stretch tranquilly into waters that are just brimming with colourful corals and fascinating marine life. It's one of the area's best spots for exploring underwater, with caves, reefs and islands lying just off shore and a plethora of scuba and snorkelling shops back on land. Young ones - and those young at heart - will flip out for Egypt's biggest aquapark while Mini Egypt's charming miniature replicas will keep everyone happy for an afternoon at least.
