The Wharf

This new compound is set to have everything from private beaches, to cycling lanes, to a water park. Their homes range from sprawling villas to sleek apartments, housed on either a peninsula, quay or creek, and word has it they'll even have four hotels inside the compound. Basically, this resort promises the very best of the North Coast good life and here are six reasons why. Wherever we end up staying we waste our afternoons queuing at the gates of other compounds, and once we’re finally on the beach, we waste MORE time dragging our feet through the sand with our ice boxes while struggling to wave back at everyone we know – all of course in an attempt to find an empty spot. Which you won't find. Fancy owning your own beach, an entire spot all to yourself? As though inspired by Venice, CityStars Al Sahel built houses right on sandy, crystal-clear lagoons, so yes, you basically get your own PRIVATE beach. You'll be able to open your doors, step out into your gardens, onto the sand, and jump into the water. And from there you can swim to the lighthouse marina - or to your neighbours.
