Aurora Palace Hurghada – A Boutique Gated Resort Residence in Magawish
Aurora Palace is one of the more precisely conceived resort-style developments currently available in Hurghada. Developed by Akar Development and positioned in Magawish — one of the city’s most strategically located residential areas — Aurora Palace combines boutique scale, curated amenities, and a flexible payment structure to create a compelling proposition for investors and lifestyle buyers alike. With 133 units across a 6,000 sqm site and delivery scheduled for 2028, this is a project designed around quality over quantity.
Developer – Akar Development
Aurora Palace is developed by Akar Development, a developer whose approach to this project is defined by intentionality — a 6,000 sqm boutique site with 133 units rather than a maximized unit count, a heated pool for year-round usability, smart home infrastructure, and a rental income support program built into the ownership package. These choices signal a developer thinking about long-term asset performance rather than just unit sales.
Location – Magawish, Hurghada’s Strategic Residential Zone
Magawish sits in one of Hurghada’s most balanced positions — close enough to the city’s tourist and lifestyle infrastructure to benefit from strong short-term rental demand, while maintaining a quieter residential atmosphere that appeals to longer-stay guests and European buyers seeking a calmer environment than the central promenade areas. Key distances from Aurora Palace include 5 to 10 minutes to Hurghada International Airport, 10 to 12 minutes to Senzo Mall, 10 to 15 minutes to El Mamsha promenade, and 15 to 20 minutes to Hurghada Marina and Sheraton Road.
The proximity to the airport is a particularly significant investment factor — short-stay tourists arriving from Europe consistently prefer accommodations that minimize transfer time, making Magawish properties among the first considered when guests search for Hurghada short-term rentals.
Project Overview – 133 Units, 6,000 sqm, Boutique Gated Community
Aurora Palace is a low-rise, pool-centered gated residence spanning 6,000 sqm across Buildings A, B, and C. The boutique scale of 133 units ensures a community feel that larger compounds cannot replicate — lower density, more attentive management, and a living environment where every amenity exists to serve a smaller, more defined group of residents and guests. The project includes a heated pool for year-round swimming usability, which directly addresses one of the key weaknesses of standard Hurghada pools that become cold in winter months — a meaningful advantage for investors targeting European tourists who travel to Hurghada during cooler seasons.
Amenities – World-Class, Purposefully Selected
Aurora Palace’s amenity package reflects the developer’s boutique philosophy — every facility is chosen to serve a specific purpose for residents and rental guests:
4 swimming pools including a heated pool for year-round use, a full wellness center with gym, sauna, steam room, and complete spa services, an on-site restaurant for fine dining within the compound, 24/7 security with CCTV surveillance and controlled access, smart home ready infrastructure with high-speed internet throughout, kids facilities with 2 dedicated play areas, and full property management and rental income support program available to owners.
Unit Types & Sizes
Aurora Palace offers four unit types across a size range of 53 to 217 sqm — an unusually wide span for a 133-unit boutique development, giving buyers genuine choice without the project losing its intimate character.
Studios – 53 to 82 sqm
Studios at Aurora Palace are more generously sized than the Hurghada market average, ranging from 53 to 82 sqm. Available across Buildings A, B, and C with pool view and back view orientations on ground through second floors. Back view studios start from EGP 2,137,500 on the ground floor — the lowest entry point in the project — while pool view studios range from EGP 2,650,000 on the ground floor to EGP 3,895,000 for an 82 sqm first-floor unit in Building A. The larger studio formats at Aurora Palace are particularly strong short-term rental products, offering guests the feel of a one-bedroom at a studio operating cost.
1 Bedroom Apartments – 65 to 125 sqm
One-bedroom units are the most diverse type at Aurora Palace, spanning from 65 to 125 sqm across all three buildings and floors. Pool view one-bedroom units range from EGP 2,975,000 on the ground floor up to EGP 5,302,500 on the second floor for larger configurations. Back view one-bedroom units offer more accessible pricing from EGP 2,437,500. The range within the one-bedroom category accommodates both entry-level investors and buyers seeking a more premium unit within the same project.
2 Bedroom Apartments – 94 to 136 sqm
Two-bedroom units are available in Buildings A and C across multiple floors, ranging from 94 to 136 sqm. Pool view two-bedroom units start from EGP 4,505,000 on the ground floor and reach EGP 7,480,000 for a 136 sqm second-floor unit in Building C. The 2nd floor sea view two-bedroom in Building A at 102 sqm is priced at EGP 6,120,000 — combining the premium of sea view with upper floor positioning. Two-bedroom units at Aurora Palace are well-suited for families and groups of friends traveling together, a rental segment that consistently books longer stays and pays premium weekly rates in Hurghada.
3 Bedroom Apartments – 188 to 217 sqm
Aurora Palace’s three-bedroom units are among the most spacious in the Hurghada boutique resort category, ranging from 188 sqm on the first floor to 217 sqm on the second floor. Both are pool view units priced at EGP 9,870,000 and EGP 11,935,000 respectively. These units cater to large families, groups, or buyers seeking a genuine family-sized resort home — a product type that is rare in Hurghada and commands strong nightly rates from the right guest profile.
Pricing – Clear View Premium Across All Floors
Aurora Palace pricing follows a logical and transparent structure with per-sqm rates increasing by floor and view type. Back view units start from EGP 37,500 per sqm on the ground floor. Pool view units start from EGP 42,500 per sqm and increase to EGP 60,000 per sqm for upper floor sea view units in Building A. The total price range across available units spans from EGP 2,137,500 for a back view ground floor studio to EGP 11,935,000 for the 217 sqm three-bedroom pool view unit on the second floor — a range that covers virtually every serious investor budget in the current Hurghada market.
Payment Plans – Three Options, Starting from 10% Down
Aurora Palace offers one of the most accessible payment entry points in the Hurghada market, with three distinct plans to suit different financial profiles:
Plan 1 – 10% Down Payment, 2 Years Installments: The lowest entry barrier available, requiring just 10% upfront. For a studio at EGP 2,650,000, the initial commitment is EGP 265,000 — an exceptionally low threshold for a pool view unit in a boutique gated resort.
Plan 2 – 20% Down Payment, 3 Years Installments: A balanced option combining a moderate upfront payment with a three-year installment horizon.
Plan 3 – 30% Down Payment, 4 Years Installments: Higher upfront commitment with the longest available installment period, providing the lowest possible monthly payment for buyers who prefer to extend their payment timeline.
A 10% maintenance deposit is due upon handover, and full property management with rental income support is available to all owners.
Why Aurora Palace Is a Strong Investment in Hurghada
Aurora Palace’s investment case is built on a combination of location efficiency, boutique product quality, and an owner-friendly management structure that most Hurghada projects do not offer. The proximity to the airport maximizes appeal to short-stay European tourists. The heated pool extends rental season usability into the winter months when standard pools are unusable. The rental income support program provides an operational framework for remote owners. And the boutique scale ensures the development retains its appeal over time without the density issues that affect larger compounds.
Key investment highlights include Magawish’s airport proximity driving consistent short-stay demand, a heated pool extending year-round rental usability, a full wellness center and spa elevating nightly rental rates, a rental income support program simplifying remote ownership, three payment plans starting from just 10% down, and an above-average unit size range creating strong differentiation in the short-term rental market.
