Celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary at Xanadu Makadi Bay was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. From the moment we stepped into the resort, we were swept away by the beauty, warmth, and attention to detail that made our stay unforgettable. It wasn’t just a holiday—it was a celebration, relaxation, and creating new memories together. The location is stunning. Picture this: turquoise waters of the Red Sea stretching as far as the eye can see, golden sandy beaches, and a resort that feels like it was designed to blend into the natural beauty around it. Everywhere we looked, there was something to take our breath away. Whether we were lounging by the pool, walking along the beach, or just sitting on our balcony with a cup of coffee, the views were magical. It felt like the world had slowed down just for us. Our room was a dream which was upgraded with the swim up pool just outside the patio doors, but as it was early in the season the water was a bit too cold to swim in, which was a shame, but I can imagine in the height of the summer it would be brilliant. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom felt like a spa with its rain shower and luxurious toiletries. Housekeeping kept everything spotless, and little touches like fresh fruit, wine and an anniversary display on the bed made us feel truly special. The food was another highlight of our stay. We’re both foodies, and Xanadu did not disappoint. From the international buffets to the intimate à la carte restaurants, every meal was a delight. We had a meal in the Indian restaurant, where we had a romantic dinner. The staff surprised us with a beautifully decorated table and a chocolate cake. What really made our stay exceptional, though, was the people. The staff at Xanadu went above and beyond to make our stay special. From the concierge who helped us with any questions we had, to the waiters who remembered our favourite drinks, everyone was so kind and attentive. The shuttle bus drivers were great, making us laugh and entertaining. Even the Life Guards helped with towels and organising sun beds. Xanadu Makadi Bay isn’t just a resort—it’s an experience. It’s the kind of place where you can be as active or as relaxed as you want. We loved snorkelling in the Red Sea and exploring the vibrant marine life, but we also enjoyed lazy afternoons by the pool and quiet evenings in the bar. The resort strikes the perfect balance between luxury and comfort, making it ideal for couples celebrating a special occasion. Leaving Xanadu was bittersweet. We came to celebrate 30 years of marriage, and we left with our hearts full of new memories. If you’re looking for a place to have a relaxing holiday, this is it. We can’t wait to go back.
