Property in Long Beach

Long Beach: North Cyprus's Investment and Holiday Paradise

Long Beach, the best-known coastal stretch of the Iskele district, is home to one of the island's longest and widest beaches. Over the past decade, driven by large residential projects, gated-community living and international investor interest, the area has practically become "North Cyprus's Dubai," turning into a global property market with buyers coming in particular from Russia, the UK, Germany and the Middle East.

Who Chooses Long Beach?

Long Beach offers a multicultural, cosmopolitan lifestyle:

• International investors: It is the first choice for investors seeking passive income through a "buy-to-let" strategy. Demand for short-term holiday rentals is very high in season.
• Holiday-home owners: Staying at the beachfront residences over summer and renting them out over winter is one of the most common usage patterns in Long Beach.
• Young professionals and digital nomads: Modern gated-community living, high-speed internet infrastructure and a lower cost of living compared with Europe attract this group.

Daily Life and Infrastructure

Long Beach has grown from a mere holiday area into a full-fledged living hub:

• Social amenities: Beachfront restaurants, beach bars and cafés, alongside on-site pools, gyms and spa centres, have become standard.
• Shopping: The area has modern supermarkets and shopping points. Iskele centre is 10-15 minutes away, and Famagusta is roughly 30 minutes away.
• Transport: Ercan Airport is about 45 minutes away on average. A private vehicle is commonly used for getting around within the area.
