Labranda Royal Makadi

Labranda Royal Makadi is a luxury 5-star resort on Egypt’s spectacular Red Sea coast, with its own private sandy beach. An endless list of activities are possible here - sunbathing, snorkelling, diving, kayaking and canoeing, are just some of the exciting options on offer.\n\nThose who prefer to swim in artificial pools haven’t been forgotten either, as there’s a choice of three full-sized ones for the adults and a separate one for the children to splash around in. The younger guests can also join the kids’ club, which offers a variety of fun activities. Older holidaymakers may choose to take part in tennis, darts, billiard, squash or archery. For those wishing to relax, there’s a spa with a Turkish Hamman and sauna. In the evening the whole family can get together to watch an enjoyable show.\n\n24/7 dining is available in this resort. The main restaurant, with its buffet service, remains open from 7am to 3pm and then reopens from 7pm to 9pm. During the hours it is closed, there are numerous other places to eat on-site. The a la carte Wine House welcomes hungry guests all night, so if you want your dinner at midnight or your breakfast at 4am you can! Om Zyad Bedouin offers tasty oriental pies from late morning to late afternoon, while the Lobby Bar has a wide range of appetising pastries available. And if that wasn’t enough, there’s a further six specialist eateries open in the evening. So eat your way around the world with delectable Greek, Italian, Japanese, American, Cuban and Chinese cuisine. \n\nFive bars are spread around the resort, allowing you to get refreshments at any time of day. Local and international drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, are available here, whether it’s a simple mid-morning coffee or a signature cocktail.\n\nStandard rooms are a generous 24m2 and are equipped with a satellite television, safe, hairdryer, kettle and wifi. If you hire a car there’s no additional charge for parking at the hotel, while the front desk staff are on-hand to help you 24 hours a day.\n\nThe nearest city to the resort is Hurghada, approximately 45 minutes away. Here you can try and negotiate a bargain at the markets and souks. If you plan on going quad biking in the desert, you might wish to purchase a head scarf here. But you won’t need one to go on a dolphin safari, or if you don’t want to risk getting wet, there’s an aquarium instead.
