Construction of the yacht-themed 52-room hotel will be carried out by Korman Construction Ltd. It began in February 2019. The completion date is anticipated to be spring 2020.

The 2-storey building has been meticulously designed to blend in with the surrounding natural environment. It will feature replica teak-deck flooring and a light blue and grey colour scheme. While at the same time represent a valuable addition to the beautiful Karpaz area and the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus.

The facility will provide marina clients, local residents and international visitors with spa amenities, including a Turkish Hamam.

Vision

The marina owner’s vision in creating the marina was to introduce the less travelled areas of the Eastern Mediterranean to the yachting sector.  They sought to lead the development of this region.  At the same time creating a widely recognised and attractive yachting tourism destination, and to establish the marina as the leading homeport for superyachts in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Liza Singer, the marina Managing Director, said: “The ground-breaking project to develop Karpaz Gate Marina, the first modern yacht marina in North Cyprus, has been an incredibly rewarding challenge which first began in 2005. Since the opening in 2011, our priority has been to offer premium berthing, leisure and technical facilities, maintaining the highest standards to ensure we exceed the expectations of all our clients and guests.”
