This luxury private gated resort is located in El Gouna, just moments from the beach and a stone's throw from the new super yacht marina. This Golf Resort has been comprehensively master planned by EDSA, one of the world's leading land planning practices. They have ensured that all of the properties enjoy views of either the lagoons, the Red Sea, golf course or the beautiful mountain ranges.

The focal point of the Resort will be the Hilltop Village. The unique apartment buildings surround a beautifully landscaped central piazza. The piazza will be filled with restaurants, bars, shops and park areas - just the place to soak up the atmosphere. It is home to a mix of generously sized studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments and two bedroom townhouses. A selection of two and three bedroom twin villas, some with apartments between, will step down the hill. The opulent three to five bedroom villas will be placed around the lagoon and the golf course, interspersed with stately twin villas.

Every home is designed and finished to uncompromising standards. SB Architects, a leading resort architectural firm based in Miami, have designed the homes. The architectural style is a fusion of Arabic style and Mediterranean flair. The exteriors are white to reflect the year-round sunshine and ensure that the living environment remains comfortable regardless of the heat. SB Architects have incorporated features such as bricked vaulted ceilings, striking archways, impressive fireplaces, sumptuous bathrooms with exquisite marble fittings and lavish pergola covered terraces. The indulgent open living areas allow the natural breezes to flow through your home.

Whether you decide on an apartment, townhouse or villa, you can be confident that attention to detail is the overriding theme throughout the design and construction. The highest quality local materials will be used for construction and our project manager will oversee the process to ensure that your property meets our criteria.

You can also take advantage of our professional on-site management team who will look after your property when you are away.

Rental Management Programme:

The Resort will have a dedicated rental management programme to make sure that you can secure the maximum return from your property. Entrance to this rental pool is recommended for owners, but is not compulsory.

Rental Pool System:

The rental pool system will provide a variable return based on usage. Income will be pooled and allocated on a per square meter basis.

Quintessentially will provide luxury on-site concierge services for the resort, while Ancient Sands Golf Resort SAE, majority owned by Orascom Hotels & Development (OHD), Egypt's largest hotel operator and developer of El Gouna, will operate the rental management programme. The resort will offer the same standards and facilities as a 5 star hotel.

Owners of properties may enter the rental management programme at their discretion and may withdraw at any time subject to the notice period. All owners who become part of the rental pool must purchase the basic furniture package. The rental return or rental guarantee will be paid quarterly in arrears in US dollars.

Anticipated Rental Income:

We expect that a gross yield of circa 14% per annum is achievable for properties on this Resort. In Egypt the average nightly spend is US$85, while occupancy in El Gouna is 83% making for strong returns.

The anticipated 14% gross yield is based upon an anticipated occupancy rate of 75%, and allows for 45 days of own use. Given the popularity of El Gouna, we envisage that there will be strong demand for a managed approach to property rentals.

The market is year-round with peak occupancy over the Christmas period and at the end of Ramadan. The most active time of year for golf related occupancy is through the winter months, given the potential to play the course in lower heat. However, guaranteed sun and the vast range of activities and facilities on offer, draw tourists to El Gouna 365 days a year.

Rental Income Allocation:

After a deduction of 4% for the Fixtures, Fittings & Equipment (F, F & E) Fund which will ensure that the furnishings and fittings in your property are properly maintained, you will be allocated 50% of the room rental income. From your share, you will pay the annual property tax and income tax.
