Large in size, the main outdoor pool here comes with the added luxury of in-water loungers, a whirlpool bath and swim-up bar. There are towels on hand if you need one, too. There are also two outdoor pools especially for the little ones, both these pools are heated during the winter months and feature fun slides and a fountain.
There are six restaurants here, including an à la carte that’s exclusively for guests staying in the adults-only section.

Family Fun
Picture this – you, your other half and your kids filled with Christmas spirit and excitement opening your gifts in glorious sunshine. It can be a reality, and it would certainly be a memorable Christmas!

And where better to stay than TUI MAGIC LIFE Kalawy? Found in Safaga, just a little way down the coast from the popular resort of Hurghada, this glorious Red Sea location is a stunning alternative to chilly Britain.

Elsewhere, there’s a family-sized pool with three waterslides, a heated relaxation pool and a kidney-shaped one just for children. The lagoon is just steps away from the main pool. Take a wander down there and you can spot tropical fish from the wooden jetty or dive in to see them up close.

At the speciality restaurants, you’ll get one visit per week included in your All Inclusive.
