New Build Property for Sale on the North Cyprus Coast

Secret Paradise is an exclusive new-build residential development in Bahçeli, just east of Esentepe on the northern coast of Cyprus. Set only around 100 metres from the Mediterranean Sea, the project combines contemporary architecture, panoramic sea views, resort-style facilities and the peaceful lifestyle for which the Esentepe coastline has become increasingly popular.

Bahçeli is a small coastal village where the Mediterranean Sea meets the dramatic backdrop of the Kyrenia Mountains. The area is known for its natural surroundings, beaches and proximity to restaurants, resorts and golf facilities.

For international buyers searching for property for sale in North Cyprus, Secret Paradise offers an interesting combination: a modern home close to the sea, access to leisure facilities, generous indoor and outdoor living space and convenient connections to Kyrenia, Nicosia and two international airports.

Secret Paradise at a Glance

The development consists of just 16 luxury 3+1 townhouses, creating a relatively low-density residential environment.

Each townhouse offers approximately 160 m² of total space, including two double bedrooms, an additional customisable room, bathroom, separate WC, balconies and terraces with sea views and a panoramic rooftop terrace.

The individual levels have been designed as follows:

44 m² customisable basement
43.2 m² ground floor with lounge, kitchen, WC, staircase and terrace
36.3 m² first floor with two bedrooms, bathroom, staircase and terrace
35.6 m² rooftop terrace with kitchenette and panoramic outdoor living space

The rooftop terraces are particularly attractive. According to the project specification, the townhouses enjoy sea views while the roof terraces provide a 360-degree panorama, creating a spectacular setting for sunsets, outdoor dining and Mediterranean evenings.

Resort-Style Facilities

Secret Paradise has been designed as more than simply a collection of houses.

Residents have access to:

Outdoor swimming pools
Landscaped Mediterranean gardens
Sunbathing areas
Gym
Spa
Café
Indoor parking
Outdoor parking
Hobby garden
Private rooftop terraces

These communal facilities create a resort-style atmosphere while retaining the privacy and independence of owning your own townhouse.

The architectural concept places the homes around landscaped gardens and long swimming pools, with palm trees and the Mediterranean forming the visual backdrop. The design makes the sea and outdoor lifestyle an integral part of everyday living.

Only 100 Metres from the Mediterranean

Location is one of the strongest features of Secret Paradise.

According to the developer’s project information, the coastline and Beach Club are approximately 100 metres away. Other nearby destinations include:

Beach Club – 100 m / approximately 2 minutes
Roots Beach – 1.8 km / approximately 5 minutes
Esentepe Public Beach – 4.7 km / approximately 7 minutes
Korineum Golf & Beach Resort – 13.5 km / approximately 17 minutes
Kyrenia Harbour – 32.4 km / approximately 40 minutes
Nicosia – 45 km / approximately 1 hour 8 minutes
Ercan International Airport – 39.6 km / approximately 51 minutes
Larnaca International Airport – 78.9 km / approximately 1 hour 16 minutes

This makes Secret Paradise attractive both as a permanent residence and as a Mediterranean second home.

Why Buy Property in Esentepe and Bahçeli?

Esentepe has developed into one of the most active residential areas along the North Cyprus coastline. Unlike living directly in a city, the attraction here is space, nature and access to the Mediterranean while remaining within driving distance of Kyrenia.

The project brochure describes Esentepe as one of North Cyprus’s fastest-growing regions, combining modern residential developments with natural beauty and a peaceful seaside lifestyle.

There is another reason why this part of North Cyprus stands out: the landscape.

On one side is the Mediterranean. On the other are the Kyrenia – or Five Finger – Mountains. Between them are olive trees, carob trees, beaches, small villages and golf courses.

It is a very different environment from the high-density Mediterranean resorts found elsewhere.

Golf at Korineum Golf & Beach Resort

Golfers have one of North Cyprus’s best-known golf destinations nearby.

Korineum Golf & Beach Resort is located in Esentepe between the Mediterranean coast and the Beşparmak Mountains.

Its championship course is an 18-hole, par-72 course measuring 6,232 metres, with sea and mountain views from every hole. The resort also offers a golf academy, driving range, tennis facilities, spa, swimming pool and private beach.

For owners at Secret Paradise, this means a genuine golf-and-sea lifestyle rather than simply having a golf course somewhere in the wider region.

Beaches Near Secret Paradise

The coastline around Bahçeli and Esentepe offers a mixture of small coves, public beaches and organised beach clubs.

The closest options identified in the project information are Roots Beach and Esentepe Public Beach, while the coastline itself is only around 100 metres from the development.

Further west, Alagadi Turtle Beach is one of the best-known natural beaches in North Cyprus.

Alagadi is particularly special because both loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) and green turtles (Chelonia mydas)nest along this coastline. The beach is protected during the nesting and hatching season.

Visitors interested in turtle conservation can find information through the Society for the Protection of Turtles – SPOT.

For a broader overview, see the North Cyprus Beach Guide.

Kyrenia – Historic Harbour Life Around 40 Minutes Away

For restaurants, shopping, nightlife and history, Kyrenia – Girne – is approximately 32.4 km from Secret Paradise, with the developer indicating a driving time of around 40 minutes.

Its horseshoe-shaped historic harbour is one of the landmarks of North Cyprus. Traditional buildings, cafés and restaurants surround the water, while the imposing Kyrenia Castle stands beside the harbour.

The castle in its present form dates largely from the Venetian period, although the site has a much longer history.

Discover the area through the official Kyrenia tourism guide.

Bellapais Abbey

One of the most atmospheric historical attractions in the Kyrenia region is Bellapais Abbey, set in the mountains above Kyrenia.

The historic village and abbey combine Gothic architecture with views towards the Mediterranean and are among the principal cultural attractions promoted by the North Cyprus tourism authority.

It makes an excellent destination for a morning or afternoon excursion from Bahçeli.

The Kyrenia Mountains and Mountain Castles

The mountain range behind Secret Paradise is much more than a beautiful backdrop.

North Cyprus contains several remarkable mountain castles, including St Hilarion Castle, Buffavento Castle and Kantara Castle. The official tourism guide lists all three among the principal attractions of the region.

For owners who enjoy walking, photography and nature, the combination of Mediterranean coastline and mountains makes this part of Cyprus particularly attractive.

Nicosia – History, Shopping and Culture

North Cyprus’s capital, Nicosia/Lefkoşa, is approximately 45 km from the development according to the project brochure.

Inside the historic centre are approximately 4.5 kilometres of Venetian walls, together with attractions including the Büyük Han, Selimiye Mosque and traditional streets of the Old Town.

Explore the city through the North Cyprus tourism guide to Nicosia.

Exploring the Rest of North Cyprus

Secret Paradise can also be a base from which to explore the rest of the island.

Important destinations include:

Famagusta – famous for its historic walled city.

Salamis – one of the island’s major archaeological sites and an important ancient city.

Karpaz Peninsula – known for its less-developed landscapes, villages and long beaches.

Golden Beach – one of the best-known natural beaches on the Karpaz Peninsula.

St Hilarion Castle – spectacularly positioned high above the northern coastline.

The official North Cyprus tourism guide provides useful information for exploring these attractions.

A Mediterranean Home for Indoor-Outdoor Living

The design of Secret Paradise makes particularly good use of the North Cyprus climate.

Instead of concentrating the living space entirely indoors, every level connects to a balcony or terrace, culminating in the large rooftop terrace.

Imagine breakfast overlooking the Mediterranean, an afternoon beside the communal pool and dinner on your private roof terrace while the sun disappears over the sea.

The project has deliberately been designed around these views. The developer states that every townhouse has sea views, with panoramic rooftop terraces and landscaped pool areas designed to maximise the relationship between the homes and their Mediterranean surroundings.

Secret Paradise as a North Cyprus Property Investment

For buyers considering North Cyprus real estate as an investment, location and scarcity are more meaningful than marketing promises about future returns.

Secret Paradise has several characteristics that may support long-term appeal:

Only 16 townhouses
Approximately 100 metres from the coast
Sea views from the homes
360-degree panoramic rooftop terraces
Approximately 160 m² total area
Swimming pools and landscaped gardens
Gym, spa and café
Proximity to Korineum Golf & Beach Resort
Access to beaches and outdoor recreation
Approximately 40 minutes from Kyrenia
Access to both Ercan and Larnaca airports

The developer forecasts that prices may rise by around 20% during the construction period. This is a developer projection rather than a guaranteed investment return and should therefore be treated as such.

For serious investors, we recommend assessing the individual unit, purchase price, legal title, payment schedule, expected completion date, potential rental market and exit strategy rather than relying solely on projected capital appreciation.

Payment Options

The project brochure currently presents payment structures based around:

15% down payment
35% until delivery
50% after delivery

For the remaining 50%, different structures are shown, including an interest-free payment period of up to one year after delivery, a payment period of up to three years at 6% interest, or a longer bank-financed arrangement of up to five years.

Availability, prices and payment conditions can change during construction and should always be reconfirmed before reservation.
