Karpaz Gate Marina resort

The 52-cabin boutique hotel is the perfect base to explore North Cyprus, a relaxing retreat and a special destination for corporate, private or special events. Overlooking the marina and gardens, the hotel is meticulously designed and imaginatively specified with touches of nautical flair to provide a memorable sanctuary for international visitors. The accommodation includes 44 cabins of 32sqm, 4 family corner cabins of 58sqm with two ensuite bedrooms and 4 corner suite cabins of 58sqm with a living room, each with a terrace or balcony.

Guests have access to a range of on-site leisure facilities, including the Beach Club and restaurant at the west end of the resort, with 33m infinity pool, children’s pool, cabanas and loungers, private beach and water float off the beach. A Watersports Centre offers the use of kayaks and SUPs.

Exclusively available to marina and hotel guests, the new Gallery leisure facilities opened in 2022 and includes a luxurious 20m indoor pool and jacuzzi, with surrounding lounge chairs, plus showers and changing rooms. The building connects through to the gym, fully equipped with weight and aerobic machines. Two corporate meeting rooms have also been added, complete with audio and visual equipment.

The inviting hamam and spa features traditional hamam, steam room, sauna and ice showers. A fitness studio is equipped for pilates, dance or yoga classes. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, Hemingway's Resto-Bar on the promenade offers traditional and international cuisine, a special chef’s table culinary experience and live music events.

Sustainability is at the heart of Karpaz Gate Marina, with an eco-friendly approach encompassing the vibrant trees and flowers thriving in the on-site nursery, while the vegetable and herb garden and green house provide fresh produce straight to the plate. An on-site solar plant supplies over half of the total electricity usage, while ecological and recycling initiatives include minimal usage of non-recycled materials like plastics. Creating an aquarium in the marina basin, a no fishing rule protects the wildlife and preserves the crystal-clear water.

Liza Singer, Managing Director, Karpaz Gate Marina, said: “We are delighted to introduce a range of packaged experiences at Karpaz Gate Marina, which enable our guests to enjoy a personalised retreat and take full advantage of the location’s natural attributes. Our destination is in a fascinating location, offering barefoot luxury, a taste of adventure and a unique escape.

“The Karpaz region is one of the rare natural jewels of the island, so we are proud to welcome guests from all over the world to explore this area while enjoying our resort. We look forward to providing visitors with a memorable experience, with the highest standards and service, in a peaceful Mediterranean marina setting.”
