Steigenberger Makadi
Makadi Bay
Steigenberger Makadi is a luxurious five-star, adults-only boutique hotel in Egypt's beautiful Makadi Bay, offering a peaceful retreat for golfers looking to combine championship golf with year-round sunshine and relaxation. Overlooking the spectacular Makadi Golf Course and surrounded by dramatic desert landscapes, this stylish hotel is an excellent choice for a golf holiday on the Red Sea.
With just 93 rooms and suites, Steigenberger Makadi provides a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere than many of the larger resorts in the region. The spacious Superior Rooms feature elegant furnishings, modern amenities and private terraces or balconies, with selected rooms enjoying impressive views across the golf course or bay. For something extra special, the Executive Suites offer generous living space, luxurious bathrooms and private pools.
Golf is undoubtedly one of the biggest attractions, with the neighbouring 18-hole Makadi Golf Course providing a fantastic championship layout surrounded by striking desert scenery. Its beautifully maintained fairways, challenging bunkers and panoramic views make it a memorable place to play, particularly during the winter months when Egypt's warm climate provides ideal golfing conditions.
Away from the fairways, guests can unwind beside the outdoor swimming pool, enjoy soothing treatments at the spa or make use of the sauna, Jacuzzi and fitness facilities. The hotel also offers restaurants and bars serving international cuisine, while a complimentary shuttle provides access to the sandy beach, where swimming, snorkelling and other Red Sea activities await.
At Hashtag Golf Travel, we recommend Steigenberger Makadi for couples and groups seeking a quieter, more exclusive Egypt golf holiday. With championship golf on the doorstep, comfortable accommodation and plenty of opportunities to relax, it's an excellent base for a sunshine-filled golfing escape.

About The Area
Makadi Bay is a relaxed, resort-focused destination on Egypt’s Red Sea Coast, offering dependable sunshine, wide-open coastal scenery and easy access to one of the region’s standout championship courses. Located just south of Hurghada, it provides a quieter alternative to busier resorts while still delivering a high-quality golf experience.
The area’s headline venue is The Cascades Golf Resort, Spa & Thalasso, located a short drive away in nearby Soma Bay. Designed by Gary Player, this championship course is widely regarded as one of the finest in Egypt. Set on elevated desert terrain overlooking the Red Sea, it features generous fairways, strategic bunkering and fast, subtly contoured greens. The open layout allows for confident driving, but approach play becomes critical — particularly when coastal winds pick up across the exposed holes. The combination of desert landscape and ocean views creates a visually striking and memorable round.
Golf in Makadi Bay is defined by firm, fast conditions and year-round playability. The most comfortable season runs from October to April, when temperatures are warm without being excessive, making it a popular winter-sun destination.
Off the course, Makadi Bay is all about relaxation. The Red Sea’s clear waters and coral reefs make snorkelling and diving major highlights, while beachfront resorts offer spa facilities, pools and all-inclusive dining. For more activity, Hurghada is within easy reach, providing excursions, nightlife and marina dining.
For golfers seeking reliable sunshine, scenic desert golf and a peaceful coastal setting with access to championship-level courses, Makadi Bay delivers one of Egypt’s most easy-going and enjoyable golf escapes.
