Smeralda Bay Northcoast Village is one of the most distinctive coastal destinations at Kilo 247 in the Sidi Hanish area, launched by Cleopatra Group for Real Estate Development along a private sandy beach that stretches around 500 meters with calm turquoise waters inside a naturally sheltered bay.
The units are spread across a depth of 800 meters from the coastal road down to the shoreline, so the first row overlooks the sea directly while the inner rows open onto the crystal lagoon and the green spaces. The mix includes chalets, lagoon condos, townhouses, and standalone villas, with areas starting from 60 m² and reaching up to 330 m².
Prices at Smeralda Bay start from EGP 7,800,000 with a down payment of just 10% and installments of up to 7 years with no interest, and every unit is delivered fully finished, offering a complete coastal summer experience on one of the quietest beaches in the western North Coast.
It pairs a direct beachfront with a central crystal lagoon and a low building density, in a rising location between New Alamein City and Ras El Hekma Bay.
The Meaning Behind the Name Smeralda Bay
The name “Smeralda” has Spanish roots meaning “emerald,” a direct reference to the clear turquoise color of the seawater that shimmers in front of the village’s shores like a precious stone, while the word “Bay” describes the geographic nature of the location as a calm gulf where the waves break gently and the water becomes safer and friendlier for families.
In this way, the name brings together a sense of beauty and a sense of calm at once, reflecting the project’s promise of a coastal experience that blends the charm of nature with the elegance of Italian design. It is also a smart marketing choice, since it links the buyer mentally from the very first word to the image of clear water and a safe bay, which is exactly the experience the village delivers on the ground through its quiet sandy beach and the crystal lagoon at its center.
A Detailed Overview of Smeralda Bay
The concept of Smeralda Bay is built around turning a quiet stretch of Sidi Hanish into a complete, vibrant summer community. Cleopatra Group chose to make the project closer to a fully serviced village than to a simple cluster of chalets, so the overall layout was carefully studied to give each unit its share of both views and privacy.
The architecture draws its spirit from the Italian style and the atmosphere of the coastal Sardinia, with multi-pitched roofs and prominent arched windows that break the monotony of the mass and add an artistic character, while clear gaps between the buildings protect the privacy of the units and allow air and sightlines toward the sea and the lagoon.
Because the coastal experience begins with open spaces, the developer dedicated the larger share of the land to nature, so the building footprint does not exceed one-fifth of the area while the rest is given to green spaces, landscaping, and water features. The result is a low density and an overall scene that feels closer to an open resort facing the sea.
The project’s depth of around 800 meters from the road to the beach allows a smart gradient in the distribution of the units: the first row is reserved for direct sea views, while the crystal lagoon sits at the heart of the village to act as a second internal sea that serves the rear rows and gives them their own waterfront, alongside a zone of upscale beachfront hotels that completes the touristic character of the place.
With this logic in planning, Smeralda Bay offers a model of a coastal village that does not merely sell a residential unit, but rather sells a summer lifestyle that brings together the sea, the lagoon, and the services within a single gated community.

Smeralda Bay Beach
The beach is the heart of the experience at Smeralda Bay. It is a private sandy beach that stretches around 500 meters with soft sand and clear turquoise water, and its position inside a naturally calm bay makes entering the water safer and quieter compared with beaches that open directly onto the open sea.
This gulf-like character offers a practical advantage for families, as the water starts shallow and gradually deepens near the shoreline in a way that suits children and safe swimming, while deeper areas remain available for longer swims. The beachfront is also equipped with chairs, parasols, and umbrellas that serve guests throughout the summer season.
The standout element is the crystal lagoon that sits at the center of the village across an area of up to around 14 feddans, acting as a giant swimming lake with clear water that serves the inner rows and gives them a waterfront parallel to the sea, alongside swimming pools distributed between the buildings so that the unit is always just a few steps away from the water.
As the beach extends alongside the upscale hotels zone, the elements of the experience come together across the sea, the lagoon, and the swimming pools to make Smeralda Bay a three-level water destination within a single gated community. We recommend confirming details such as lifeguard schedules and whether a dedicated ladies’ section is available with the sales team before booking.
Water Activities at Smeralda Bay
Water activities vary between the sea and the lagoon. While the beach offers space for swimming and relaxing on the sand, the crystal lagoon allows calmer water sports suited to still water away from the currents of the open sea, which makes the experience appropriate for all ages throughout the summer season.
The project sits at Kilo 247 in the Sidi Hanish area on the Alexandria–Matrouh Road, one of the quietest and clearest parts of the western North Coast in terms of soft sand and turquoise water, with the kilo holding a strategic position between New Alamein City to the east and Ras El Hekma Bay to the west.
Sidi Hanish gives the project a distinctive character, as it is a rising touristic area that stays away from the crowds of the traditional villages and keeps the calm of nature, while remaining close to main routes such as the Dabaa Road, which has made reaching it easier and connected it to the rest of the coast and the major cities.

Delivery Dates at Smeralda Bay
The units of Smeralda Bay are offered on a fully finished basis, so the unit is delivered ready without the need for any additional finishing works by the client, while the delivery dates of each phase differ according to the timing of its launch on the master plan, and the exact delivery schedule for the currently available phase can be obtained through the sales team.
Full finishing is an important advantage for the coastal buyer in particular, as it saves them the trouble of managing finishing works hundreds of kilometers away from Cairo or Alexandria, and it allows the unit to be used or offered for rent as soon as it is received.
For this reason, it is recommended to fix the delivery date, the finishing specifications, and the delivery contract terms in writing within the contract before booking.
Facilities and Services at Smeralda Bay
Smeralda Bay was designed to be a village that is self-sufficient in its services, so the resident finds everything they need within its gates without leaving it throughout the season.
The facilities are distributed between unique recreational elements and complete essential services.
The Crystal Lagoon at Smeralda Bay
The crystal lagoon sits at the heart of the project across an area of up to around 14 feddans, forming an artificial swimming lake with clear, pure water that gives the inner units a waterfront parallel to the sea.
It becomes a gathering point for families and a place for calm water activities, and it is one of the most prominent distinguishing elements that raises the residential and investment value of the units overlooking it.
The Upscale Beachfront Hotels
The village includes a zone of upscale hotels directly on the beach with panoramic sea views, offering hospitality and reception services at a refined level.
This gives the village a touristic character that allows guests and owners to benefit from hotel services without leaving the project, and it also supports seasonal rental opportunities for the units.
Infrastructure at Smeralda Bay
The village relies on integrated infrastructure that serves its coastal character. Electricity is connected to the national grid to ensure a stable power supply for the units and facilities throughout the year, the village is fed by a water network that serves the units, the water features, and the landscaping, while communications services and mobile and internet network coverage are available within the Sidi Hanish area to connect the village with the outside world.
Given the importance of service continuity in coastal areas all year round, we recommend that the buyer confirm details such as the backup power source, the drinking water source, and the nature of operation (summer-only or year-round) with the sales team, given their direct impact on the comfort of living outside the summer season.

What distinguishes the summer experience at Smeralda Bay is the meeting of three elements that rarely come together: a calm bay beach, a crystal lagoon at the heart of the village, and a low building density that gives a sense of privacy and space. Together, they make a day inside the village feel closer to a holiday in an open resort.
Investment Advantages at Smeralda Bay
The decision at Smeralda Bay is not limited to buying a summer unit; it extends to an investment opportunity supported by tangible elements that raise the value of the unit and its potential for resale and rental:
A rising location at Kilo 247: Sidi Hanish, between New Alamein City and Ras El Hekma, is one of the most promising areas of the coast, which supports the growth of unit prices as the area develops.
Premium elements that raise value: a private beach of 500 meters and a crystal lagoon of 14 feddans make the units overlooking them more in demand and better for resale.
A low entry threshold: a 10% down payment and installments up to 7 years with no interest allow entering the investment with limited liquidity.
A hotel-style character that supports rental: the presence of upscale hotels and complete services raises the appeal of the units for summer rental and increases the expected seasonal return.
Seasonal rental in Sidi Hanish is a real opportunity given the rising demand for summer accommodation in the area, and we recommend asking the sales team about the availability of a unit management and rental service to maximize the return.

Why Invest in the North Coast?
The North Coast is witnessing a major governmental push toward developing infrastructure and roads, especially with the rise of New Alamein City and its transformation into a year-round destination, which raises demand for coastal units and makes them a growing investment asset in the western coast in particular.
Added to this is the fact that areas such as Sidi Hanish and Ras El Hekma are still in their early development stages compared with the older villages, which leaves more room for price growth as the facilities are completed and new projects enter, so the early buyer benefits from the price difference between the launch phase and the delivery phases.
