Steigenberger Aqua Magic leans fully into its name — a large, all-inclusive Hurghada resort built around a certified aqua park, five outdoor pools, and a genuine nine-hole golf course, positioned squarely as one of the city’s biggest family-focused properties.
The Magic Sky Restaurant & Bar sits on the roof terrace, serving a four-course dinner menu with views across the Red Sea and mountains — a genuine step up from typical resort dining, worth reserving ahead. Two rooftop adult-only pools add butler service, a distinctive touch for a resort this size and scale.
Seven restaurants span the property, including noodle and sushi bars alongside the open-air souk marketplace, which runs its own program of folk music and dance in the evenings. Guests specifically praise the buffet breakfast and the range of specialty dining, though reviews consistently suggest requesting a room away from the evening entertainment areas for a quieter stay.
Two rooftop adult-only pools come with butler service — a distinctive touch for a resort built primarily around family entertainment.
Around 700 rooms and suites, with suites adding separate kids’ rooms. A private beach sits a short walk or golf-buggy ride away, connected to sister hotel Steigenberger Al Dau Beach. About 21 minutes from Hurghada International Airport. Bookable directly through Steigenberger or standard resort platforms.
A certified aqua park, five outdoor pools, all-inclusive, and a name that tells you exactly what it is. Aqua Magic is a straightforward family proposition at mid-range pricing, and it does not pretend to be anything more sophisticated.
Couples and quiet-seekers will find it relentless in school holidays.
Its closest competitor is Jaz Aquamarine, which has more pools again. Steigenberger Al Dau is the calmer sibling on the beachfront, and Hilton Hurghada Plaza the one with the town on its doorstep.
On this coast, moving from mid-range to luxury generally buys you a better beach, quieter grounds and a shorter walk to the water rather than a dramatically better room. If the children will spend the week in a slide, the mid-range resort is often the smarter purchase.
