Long Beach

Long Beach (Uzun Yol), the coastal quarter of Yeni İskele in the İskele (Trikomo) district, is North Cyprus' flagship resort-investment location — a Blue Flag golden-sand coast lined with large master-planned high-rise residences. Where Kyrenia sells lifestyle and Famagusta sells student rentals, Long Beach sells off-plan capital growth and short-let holiday income, aimed at investors and holiday-home buyers earning rental income in foreign currency. For buyers, it is North Cyprus' cheapest entry point: studios from around £95,000, one-bedroom apartments roughly £75,000–£113,000, and villas from about £165,000 to £695,000 (3+1 villas ~£175,000–£305,000). Most supply is new-build or off-plan inside large resort masterplans — Grand Sapphire Resort & Residences and Grand Sapphire BLU (NorthernLand), and the nearby Caesar Resort — typically priced ~20–30% below finished value with 18–36-month (and longer) payment plans. Reported yields are ~6–8% with strong short-let demand; these and the growth figures are agent/developer estimates, not independent data. It is ~23 km (30 min) from Famagusta and ~47–50 km from Ercan Airport. Off-plan buyers should register the sales contract at the Land Registry within 21 days, verify the developer's title-deed type, and budget for Permission-to-Purchase processing.
