New roads, coastal marinas, and the rising VIP belt between Esentepe and Tatlısu are shaping one of the Mediterranean’s most undervalued luxury zones.

​

Northern Cyprus enters 2026 not with fanfare, but with a quiet, confident momentum.
Along the island’s north-eastern shoreline, the stretch between Esentepe and Tatlısu is evolving into a VIP growth corridor — a place where infrastructure, lifestyle, and long-term value finally move in the same direction.

​

Infrastructure That Lifts Property Prices

​

The Kyrenia–Esentepe–Tatlısu artery is being reshaped.
Upgraded roads and smoother east–west links bring these coastal villages firmly into the orbit of full-time living, not just seasonal escape.

Layered on top are:

• enhanced power capacity,

• improved water systems,

• and expanding fibre-optic coverage.

Together, they turn this coastline into the most liveable, investable stretch of the TRNC — a region ready for families, remote workers, and modern Mediterranean life.

​

The Marina Effect

​

Where marinas appear, value follows.
Across East Kyrenia, boutique marinas, yacht piers, and waterfront resorts are knitting the coastline into a continuous luxury lifestyle belt.

This shift elevates the region’s identity from affordable seaside homes to international-standard coastal living, with a design ethos that emphasises panoramic views, privacy, and curated amenities.

Value Discovery: The Real Numbers

While the broader Mediterranean sees seafront property often exceeding €3,000 per m², Northern Cyprus remains the last true outlier.

At NC Ultra, starting prices begin from:

£1,308 per m² (≈ $1,650 per m²)

This price point places the Esentepe–Tatlısu line as the lowest entry zone for high-quality waterfront living across the entire warm-water Mediterranean basin.

And yet, the fundamentals are rising fast:

• limited coastal land supply,

• steady foreign demand,

• improving infrastructure,

• and elevated lifestyle appeal.

Every pound invested here delivers a compound effect — appreciation + rental potential + scarcity.
