Makadi Bay Investment Property 2025 — Why It Is Hurghada's Best Value Market
Makadi Bay is the area attracting the most investor interest in Hurghada right now. Lower entry prices than Sahl Hasheesh or El Gouna, strong capital appreciation, and growing tourist demand combine to make it the standout value opportunity on the Red Sea in 2025.
Why Makadi Bay is the Best Value Area
Makadi Bay sits 30km south of Hurghada and has been developing rapidly since 2015. Unlike central Hurghada which is densely built and has few quality new developments, Makadi Bay still has significant land availability for new resort compounds. This means buyers get a newer, better-specification property at a lower price than comparable Sahl Hasheesh properties.
Capital Appreciation Story
Properties in Makadi Bay bought in 2018–2020 have seen 60–80% appreciation in GBP terms. This significantly outperforms the already strong Hurghada average and reflects the area's transition from a development stage market to an established resort destination. Analysts expect continued above-average appreciation as the area matures.
Property Prices in Makadi Bay
Studios: £40,000–£70,000. One-bedroom apartments: £55,000–£110,000. Two-bedroom apartments: £80,000–£160,000. Most properties are in resort compounds with pools, gardens, and beach access or beach shuttle services.
Rental Market
Makadi Bay benefits from a strong 5-star hotel cluster that drives tourist demand for apartment rentals as an alternative to hotel stays. Rental yields of 8–11% are achievable. The growing number of international beach resorts in the area is increasing visitor volumes year on year.
New Developments Launching in 2025
Several new resort compounds are launching in Makadi Bay in 2025 with payment plans from 10% deposit. These offer the opportunity to buy off-plan before prices rise further on completion.
