Layana Village North Coast by Toledo Group

Layana Village North Coast is a fully integrated hotel resort at km 70 on the Alexandria–Marsa Matrouh Desert Road, with a private sandy beachfront stretching 250 metres and a depth of up to 800 metres from the road to the shoreline.

Launched by Toledo Developments under Ministerial Decree No. 1323 of 2025 across 52 acres, it is built on the full hotel-ownership model: each unit is handed over fully finished and furnished on a Turnkey basis and operated by international hospitality group Gloria Hotels & Resorts.

With a built-up ratio of only 15%, the remaining 85% is given over to green and water features, led by a 3-acre swimmable lagoon with a sandy section at the heart of the resort, alongside a commercial mall facing the coastal road.

Units range from studios to one and two-bedroom chalets between 30 m² and 80 m², with prices starting from EGP 3,200,000, a down payment from 5% and instalment plans reaching 10 years, paid quarterly.

The Meaning Behind the Name Layana

Layana is a name of Arabic origin derived from softness and suppleness, and that meaning carries into the design language of the resort: soft colour gradients, flowing lines and water features running between the buildings, rather than the harder architectural language common in coastal resorts.

About Layana North Coast Project

Toledo Developments conceived Layana around hotel living rather than conventional residential ownership, so instead of buying an apartment the owner acquires a ready-to-operate hotel unit inside a professionally managed system, turning the property into an income-generating asset without the burden of finishing, furnishing or maintenance.

The master plan was drawn up by Criteria Design Group, which adopted a U-shaped layout opening toward the sea, so the widest possible share of units receives a water view over the Mediterranean or the internal lagoon, with water pathways and open spaces separating the buildings.

The 52 acres are divided into three zones: 34 acres allocated to villas that have been sold out entirely, 16 acres for the hotel units currently available for booking, and 2 acres for a commercial mall overlooking the road and serving both the resort and the wider area.

The project comprises 1,968 units in a low-rise distribution, with a built-up ratio capped at 15% and 85% given to green spaces, water features and services, placing water or open landscape within walking distance of most units.

Operations were assigned to Gloria Hotels & Resorts, which runs Layana as a hospitality destination of more than 2,000 serviced units, handling maintenance, housekeeping and room service year-round, with owners able to let their units through the same management.

Completing the picture is a leisure network of the swimmable lagoon with its sandy section, a covered ladies-only pool, a clubhouse, underground parking and a children’s play area on the beach.

Layana North Coast Beach

The resort fronts a private sandy beach of 250 metres, with the fine pale sand and turquoise water typical of this stretch of the Mediterranean, and it is the anchor around which the master plan was built.

The project runs 800 metres deep from the coastal road to the waterline, a depth that allows stepped rows so the rear units keep their sightline to the sea while the front rows sit closest to the shore.

Because the beach is private to Layana rather than shared with neighbouring resorts, crowd levels stay tied to the project’s own unit count, and the hotel management organises it as part of its daily service operation.

A children’s play area sits directly on the beach, making it a family destination, while the internal lagoon offers a calmer alternative when the surf picks up.

Lagoon and Water Activities at Layana

At the centre of the resort sits a 3-acre swimmable lagoon with a sandy section that mirrors a natural beach, with calm, level-controlled water that suits children and anyone who prefers swimming away from currents.

Beside it sits a covered ladies-only pool set back from the public areas, while smaller water features and pathways run between the buildings. Water activities include beach sports and seasonal water games run within the resort’s hospitality operation.

Layana North Coast Location

Layana sits at km 70 on the seaside of the Alexandria–Marsa Matrouh Desert Road, next to Marseilia 3, effectively the gateway to the North Coast coming from Alexandria.

What sets this kilometre apart is that it combines proximity to Alexandria with straightforward access from Cairo via the Fouka Road, without sitting inside the busiest stretch around Marina and El Alamein, both a short drive away.

The location also benefits from the rapid development around New Alamein City and the road expansions that followed. To explore the area’s other projects, browse the North Coast projects page.

Unit Types, Sizes and Prices at Layana North Coast

The phase currently available is limited to the hotel units inside the 16-acre zone, after the villa zone sold out entirely. Units fall into three types differing in size, view and floor level, all delivered Turnkey.

Measured against size, the price per metre ranges from EGP 88,000 in the one-bedroom chalet to EGP 91,000 in the two-bedroom, rising to around EGP 107,000 in the studio, since smaller units carry the same full hotel fit-out cost.

These figures are pre-discount instalment prices rather than cash prices, and they vary within the same type depending on the zone, the floor and how close the unit sits to the sea or the lagoon.

Facilities and Services at Layana North Coast

The service network at Layana was designed around a hotel operation that runs all year rather than seasonally, spanning water and leisure facilities, hospitality services and infrastructure that supports winter operation as efficiently as summer.

• Hotel Management by Gloria Hotels & Resorts

Gloria Hotels & Resorts handles the full operation of the resort. It is a regional hospitality group managing hotels and serviced apartments across the UAE and Egypt, and treats Layana as a destination of more than 2,000 serviced units.

Its scope covers room service, reception, housekeeping, maintenance and shared facilities, alongside letting units on behalf of owners.

• Clubhouse and Commercial Mall at Layana

The resort includes a clubhouse combining seating areas, entertainment zones and sports and wellness services, the main gathering point outside beach hours.

The retail component occupies 2 acres with a mall fronting the coastal road and housing shops, restaurants and cafés, and its position on the outer edge means it serves visitors to the area without their traffic entering the resort.

• Infrastructure at Layana North Coast

Infrastructure is the decisive factor in any coastal project marketed for year-round operation, and because Layana runs on a hotel system in winter as well as summer, its power, water and telecom provisions are built for continuous service.

For electricity, the project draws on the public utility network serving the km 70 area, supported by backup generation covering shared facilities and hotel zones so service continues through peak periods, while the developer’s wider strategy commits to expanding solar power to reduce grid consumption.

The water supply arrives through the area network, supported by internal tanks and treatment units serving the units, the water features and the landscaping, a necessary arrangement for a swimmable lagoon that needs continuous filtration year-round.

On telecoms, the resort provides high-speed internet inside the units as part of the hotel service package, alongside mobile coverage along the coastal road, essential for anyone using the unit for remote work outside summer. Structurally, façades and external finishes withstand the coast’s high humidity and salinity, which feeds into long-term maintenance costs.

Investment Advantages at Layana North Coast

Layana North Coast offers a distinctive approach to coastal investment by combining real estate ownership with professional hotel operations. The investment value therefore goes beyond simply owning a chalet in a summer destination, extending to the benefits of an integrated hospitality system designed for year-round operation and rental opportunities, The key investment advantages include:

• Full Hotel Ownership: Investors acquire a fully owned unit within an integrated hospitality development while benefiting from professional hotel operations and hospitality services. This adds value to the unit compared to traditional coastal properties that primarily depend on personal use or seasonal rentals.
• Professional Hotel Management: Gloria Hotels & Resorts is responsible for managing and operating the project, including reception, housekeeping, maintenance, and facility management, with the potential to manage the unit’s rental operations as well. This means owners do not have to handle daily management or search for tenants themselves.
• Year-Round Operation Potential: Layana’s location near Alexandria and within convenient reach of New Alamein City, combined with its hotel-oriented concept, supports the potential for use and rental beyond the traditional summer season. This could create longer occupancy periods compared to seasonal coastal developments.
• Compact Units with a Lower Entry Point: Available units start from 30 sqm, making Layana an attractive investment option for a broader segment of buyers, particularly those looking for a hotel unit with a lower entry cost than larger chalets and villas.
• Down Payment Starting from 5% and Installments Up to 10 Years: The project offers flexible payment plans that allow investors to spread the purchase cost over an extended period, with several options depending on the down payment, installment period, and applicable discount.
• Cash Discount of Up to 35%: The cash-payment option represents an important advantage for investors with available liquidity. The substantial discount can reduce the acquisition cost and potentially improve the investment margin upon resale or operation.

Investment Advantages at Layana North Coast

• Turnkey Unit Delivery: Investors do not have to purchase an unfinished unit and spend additional time and money on furnishing and preparation. Units are delivered fully finished and furnished, including electrical appliances, air conditioning units, and kitchen facilities, reducing the costs and time required to prepare the property for personal use or hotel operation.
• A Coastal Location Supporting Investment Value: Layana is located at Kilometer 70, sea side, along the Alexandria–Matrouh Desert Road, with a private beachfront extending approximately 250 meters . Its proximity to Alexandria and major access routes gives it an accessibility advantage compared to developments located farther into the North Coast.
• Private Beachfront and Swimmable Lagoon: The project combines a private sandy beach with a 3-feddan internal swimmable lagoon, offering multiple options for swimming and leisure. This variety can increase the appeal of the units to both end users and potential tenants, particularly families looking for diverse recreational experiences.
• Low Building Ratio and Extensive Open Spaces: Buildings occupy only around 15% of the project’s total land area, while the majority is allocated to landscaped areas, water features, and services. This creates better views and a more open, peaceful environment, which can enhance the property’s appeal for both resale and rental purposes.
• Diverse Sources of Demand:  The investment is not dependent solely on the owner. Units can potentially appeal to short-stay vacationers, families, North Coast visitors, and guests seeking hotel-style accommodation, thereby expanding the potential demand base for compact and mid-sized units.
• Proximity to High-Growth Urban Areas: Layana benefits from the rapid development taking place across the North Coast and New Alamein City, along with ongoing improvements to the road network. These factors may support the long-term growth of real estate values in coastal areas experiencing increasing demand.
