Christmas and New Year are among the most popular periods to visit Hurghada, and the Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort reflects that demand with festive-season pricing that still represents exceptional value for a honeymoon of this quality.

By booking through Madyen.com, you can access savings of up to 15% on the standard rate, with the added advantage of securing your room with a £20 deposit and paying the remainder through flexible instalments.

With a 4.7 out of 5 rating drawn from over 7,591 genuine guest reviews, the Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort consistently stands out as one of Hurghada's most beloved resorts – and couples are among its most enthusiastic advocates.
Honeymooners frequently highlight the poolside bar terrace as a standout feature, describing it as the perfect spot for romantic evenings, sunset cocktails, and late-night celebrations. The festive season programme receives particular praise, with guests noting the effort the resort puts into creating a memorable Christmas and New Year atmosphere without sacrificing the relaxed, intimate feel that couples seek.
The all-inclusive dining is a recurring highlight, with reviewers praising the variety and quality of food across the resort's restaurants. Staff attentiveness – particularly towards newlyweds and anniversary guests – is mentioned repeatedly, with many couples noting that the team went out of their way to add special touches to their stay. The cleanliness of the pools and beach area and the quality of the rooms are also consistently praised, making this a resort where the reality comfortably matches the photos.
Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort is located along Safaga Road, Hurghada, one of the main coastal strips that runs south from the city centre towards the quieter, more resort-focused areas of the Egyptian Red Sea coast. This position places the hotel within a convenient distance of Hurghada's key attractions while still offering the seclusion and tranquillity that honeymooners and couples prefer.
Hurghada Marina – the city's glamorous waterfront hub – is accessible by a short taxi or tuk-tuk ride from the resort. The Marina is a popular evening destination for couples, offering waterfront restaurants, boutique shops, evening boat cruises, and a lively but sophisticated atmosphere that complements a romantic stay perfectly. It is an ideal spot for a honeymoon dinner out or a sunset sailing excursion on New Year's Eve.
The resort itself benefits from its own private beach and direct Red Sea access, meaning you are never far from the water regardless of whether you venture to the Marina or stay within the resort's beautifully landscaped grounds.
Hurghada International Airport (HRG) is the closest airport to Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort, located approximately 20 to 30 minutes by road depending on traffic and the exact pick-up point. This makes the resort one of the more conveniently accessible options along the Safaga Road stretch, particularly welcome after a long-haul or connecting flight.
The most popular and recommended transfer option for honeymooners is a pre-booked private airport transfer, which can be arranged through your tour operator or directly through Madyen.com at the time of booking. This ensures a seamless, stress-free arrival with no waiting around for shared coaches – ideal when you are travelling as a couple with luggage.
For getting around during your stay, taxis and tuk-tuks are readily available outside the resort and are the most convenient way to reach Hurghada Marina, the city centre, or local excursion departure points. Many guests also arrange day trips and excursions through the resort's own activities desk, which can organise transport to snorkelling sites, desert safaris, and boat trips directly.
Hurghada offers a rich mix of romantic, adventurous, and cultural experiences that make it far more than just a beach destination – and the Pickalbatros Aqua Blu's location on Safaga Road puts you within easy reach of the best of them.
Hurghada Marina is the obvious first stop for couples – stroll the waterfront promenade, dine at one of the marina-side restaurants, or book a private sunset cruise for two. During the Christmas and New Year period, the Marina takes on a festive character with lights, events, and a lively atmosphere that feels genuinely celebratory.
Red Sea snorkelling and diving are world-class in this region, with vibrant coral reefs and an extraordinary range of marine life accessible from the resort's beach or via short boat trips. Many couples opt for a private snorkelling excursion as a honeymoon activity – a genuinely memorable shared experience.
Giftun Island, part of the Hurghada Marine Park, is a stunning day-trip destination reachable by boat – think white sand beaches, crystal-clear water, and the kind of scenery that looks straight out of a honeymoon brochure. Desert safari experiences – quad biking, camel rides, and Bedouin-style dinners under the stars – offer a dramatic contrast to beach life and are hugely popular with couples seeking something adventurous and different.
For a more cultural experience, the old town of El Dahar is worth a visit for its traditional bazaars, local coffee shops, and authentic Egyptian atmosphere.
Hurghada in December and early January is one of the Red Sea coast's most appealing seasonal windows, and for honeymooners in particular, it offers a near-perfect combination of conditions. Daytime temperatures during the Christmas and New Year period typically hover between 20°C and 25°C – warm enough to enjoy the pool and beach comfortably, but pleasantly cool compared to the intense summer heat. Evenings are mild, making the poolside bar terrace experience genuinely enjoyable after dark.
The festive season programme at Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort is a major draw for couples visiting at this time of year. Expect themed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dining experiences, a New Year's Eve gala dinner with live entertainment and a countdown celebration, and a generally elevated atmosphere throughout the resort during the holiday period. This is one of the busiest and most exciting times to visit, but it does mean that availability – particularly for honeymoon suites and pool-access rooms – fills up quickly.
Booking early through Madyen.com with a £20 deposit is the smartest way to guarantee your preferred room and take advantage of the best available rates before the festive period sells out.
If you are searching for a honeymoon that combines genuine romance, a stunning poolside bar terrace setting, festive celebrations, and easy access to Hurghada Marina – all wrapped up in a highly rated, all-inclusive resort experience – then Pickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort is one of the strongest choices available on the Red Sea coast this Christmas and New Year.
Its 4.7 rating from over 7,591 reviews is not an accident. It reflects a resort that consistently delivers on its promises: attentive service, quality dining, beautiful facilities, and an atmosphere that couples – including honeymooners – find genuinely special. The festive season elevates all of that further, making December and early January one of the best times to experience what this resort does best.
Book through Madyen.com to secure your dates with just a £20 deposit, benefit from instant confirmation, flexible payment options, free cancellation on most bookings, and savings of up to 15%. Your honeymoon deserves to start perfectly – and with Madyen.com, it can.
