GOLFTOWN Marina Edition – Golf, Lagoon & Marina Living in Somabay

GOLFTOWN Marina Edition is a new residential chapter within Somabay, bringing back the Golftown concept first introduced in 2004 and reinterpreting it within the destination’s evolving residential landscape.

The project is positioned close to Somabay Marina and the Gary Player-designed championship golf course, while its setting is also shaped by a large natural lagoon and surrounding landscaped areas. The brochure identifies the commercial hub, Clubhouse and Sports Arena as important elements within the immediate lifestyle environment.

Rather than functioning as an isolated resort project, GOLFTOWN Marina Edition forms part of the established Somabay destination, connecting residential living with golf, marina life, sports, beaches and the Red Sea.

Location in Somabay

GOLFTOWN Marina Edition is located within the Somabay peninsula on Egypt’s Red Sea coast.

The brochure’s location plans position the community close to the Somabay Marina, golf environment and central resort infrastructure. This gives the project a different character from residential communities focused primarily on direct beachfront positioning.

For buyers, the location combines several established Somabay lifestyle elements:

• Somabay Marina nearby
• Championship golf environment
• Natural lagoon setting
• Clubhouse & Sports Arena nearby
• Commercial and lifestyle facilities within the destination
• Access to Somabay’s wider beach and Red Sea environment

The precise orientation, distance to individual facilities and view should always be assessed for the specific property.

Masterplan & Lagoon Setting

The GOLFTOWN Marina Edition masterplan presents a low-rise residential community arranged around landscaped spaces and water features, with different chalet building types distributed across the development.

A defining element of the wider setting is the large natural lagoon highlighted in the brochure, which includes a tropical island.

Within the residential masterplan itself, landscaped internal areas and water features contribute to the visual character of the community.

The masterplan also demonstrates variation in elevation across the site. This makes individual positioning particularly relevant when comparing properties, as orientation, level and location within the community may influence outlook and overall residential experience.

Architecture & Design

GOLFTOWN Marina Edition uses a contemporary architectural language based on low-rise forms, restrained natural colours and strong connections between interior and exterior spaces.

The brochure visuals show:

• Warm neutral façades
• Large windows and glazed openings
• Covered terraces on selected layouts
• Shaded outdoor areas
• Architectural screens
• Landscaped surroundings
• Contemporary interiors illustrated in natural tones

The project includes both single-level chalet formats and multi-level residential buildings, allowing for a broader selection of property formats within one community.

Property Types

The official masterplan confirms several building categories within GOLFTOWN Marina Edition:

• Stand Alone Chalet
• Twin Chalet
• Twin Chalet Long
• G+1 Chalet
• G+1 Chalet Long
• G+2 Chalet
• G+2 Chalet with Penthouse
• G+2 Chalet Long

The brochure presents 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom residential configurations, depending on building type and floor.

Current availability, exact property type, floor, outdoor area and final unit area should always be confirmed against current inventory.

Stand Alone Chalets

The brochure presents the Stand Alone Chalet as a 3-bedroom residence.

The illustrated floorplan has a stated unit area of 137 sqm and includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, living space and a covered terrace.

Its detached format provides a different residential proposition from the attached Twin Chalet and multi-level chalet buildings.

Outdoor areas, plot characteristics, orientation and views should be confirmed for each individual property rather than assumed from brochure renderings.

Twin Chalets

The Twin Chalet collection introduces compact single-level residential formats.

The brochure presents a 1-bedroom Twin Chalet with a stated unit area of 61 sqm, including a bedroom, bathroom, living area and covered terrace.

The Twin Chalet Long expands the format to a 2-bedroom configuration, with the illustrated floorplan showing a 102 sqm unit area, two bathrooms, dressing space, living area and covered terrace.

Multi-Level Chalets

GOLFTOWN Marina Edition also incorporates low-rise multi-level residential buildings.

The masterplan identifies:

• G+1 Chalet
• G+1 Chalet Long
• G+2 Chalet
• G+2 Chalet with Penthouse
• G+2 Chalet Long

These formats create different options depending on floor, bedroom configuration and building position.

For the G+2 buildings specifically, the brochure shows residential layouts across ground, first and second floors, with penthouse configurations available in selected buildings.

1-Bedroom Residences

Several 1-bedroom configurations are presented.

The G+2 Chalet floorplans include examples of:

• 61 sqm – Ground Floor
• 82 sqm – First Floor
• 74 sqm – Second Floor

The G+2 Chalet with Penthouse building also includes 1-bedroom configurations on its lower levels.

These are brochure floorplan examples rather than a statement that every 1-bedroom property is currently available in these sizes.

2-Bedroom Residences

The brochure presents several 2-bedroom formats.

Examples include:

• Twin Chalet Long – 102 sqm
• G+2 Chalet with Penthouse – 98 sqm second-floor configuration
• G+2 Chalet Long – 102 sqm Ground Floor
• G+2 Chalet Long – 106 sqm First Floor
• G+2 Chalet Long – 98 sqm Second Floor

Different building positions and floors can therefore produce meaningful differences in layout, terrace configuration and outlook even within the same bedroom category.

3-Bedroom Residences

The brochure confirms a 3-bedroom Stand Alone Chalet, with the illustrated floorplan providing 137 sqm of unit area.

The layout includes a master bedroom, two additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, living space and a covered terrace.

Individual inventory should be checked to establish the precise outdoor area, position, orientation and other property-specific characteristics.

Somabay Championship Golf Course

Golf is central to the positioning of GOLFTOWN Marina Edition.

Somabay features an 18-hole, par-72 Championship Golf Course designed by Gary Player, with views across the golf landscape, Red Sea and surrounding desert environment. A golf academy is also part of the wider golf infrastructure.

For GOLFTOWN buyers, however, the precise relationship between an individual property and the golf course should be assessed from its actual masterplan position. A general location near the golf environment should not be interpreted as confirmation that every residence has a golf view.

Somabay Marina

Somabay Marina is another important element of the project’s location.

The brochure describes the marina as offering mooring facilities and associated quayside services within the wider Somabay destination.

Its proximity gives GOLFTOWN Marina Edition a connection to the social and nautical side of Somabay alongside the project’s golf-oriented character.

Clubhouse & Soma Sports Arena

The brochure identifies the Clubhouse and Sports Arena as being directly accessible from the GOLFTOWN lifestyle environment.

The Soma Sports Arena is part of Somabay’s wider recreation and fitness infrastructure, combining sports, fitness and entertainment facilities. The brochure also specifically highlights its gym facilities.

Access conditions and membership obligations should be confirmed under the current Somabay terms.

Diving & Coral Reefs

Somabay provides an established diving and snorkelling environment through the ORCA Dive Center.

The brochure confirms access to Somabay’s House Reef, diving facilities, training lagoon, equipment services and facilities for both diving and snorkelling.

These are part of the wider Somabay destination rather than facilities exclusive to GOLFTOWN Marina Edition.

Kitesurfing & Water Sports

7BFT – The Kite House forms part of Somabay’s water-sports infrastructure.

It provides kitesurfing facilities, instruction and equipment-related services alongside a restaurant and bar environment overlooking the bay.

The broader Red Sea setting also supports the water-based lifestyle for which Somabay is known.

Wellness

The wider Somabay destination includes The Cascades Spa & Thalasso.

According to the brochure, the facility extends across approximately 7,500 sqm and includes 65 treatment rooms as well as an approximately 830 sqm Thalasso-Tonic hydrotherapy pool.

These wellness facilities form part of Somabay rather than GOLFTOWN Marina Edition itself.

Hotels & Hospitality

GOLFTOWN homeowners are also located within a destination supported by established hospitality infrastructure.

The brochure identifies:

• Kempinski Somabay
• Sheraton Somabay
• The Cascades Golf Resort, Spa & Thalasso
• Robinson Club
• The Breakers

Hotel facilities and services are operated independently and should not automatically be interpreted as services included with residential ownership.

Finishing & Furnishing

The brochure states that the residences are sold unfurnished, without furniture, furnishings or white goods provisions.

The interior images throughout the brochure are therefore illustrative design renderings and should not be interpreted as representing the furniture or decorative items included with a property.

The brochure further states that:

• Drawings are not to scale
• Architectural details, dimensions and areas are based on schematic design information
• Final as-built conditions may vary
• Renderings are for illustrative purposes
• Final features, specifications, fittings and furnishings may differ

The precise finishing specification and contractual inclusions should therefore be checked for the selected property.

Maintenance & Additional Fees

Based on the separately supplied Somabay fee structure:

• Maintenance Fee: USD 12 per sqm of Built-Up Area (BUA) per year
• First maintenance payment: 6 months after reservation
• Next maintenance payment: 1 year after delivery
• Thereafter: annually

Utility meter fees were separately supplied as:

• USD 700 per meter
• Standard two-meter configuration: USD 1,400
• Where an additional garden meter applies: supplied total USD 2,100
• Utility meter fees are due within 15 days after reservation

These commercial fees are not stated in the uploaded GOLFTOWN Marina Edition brochure. They are based on the separately supplied Somabay fee information and should therefore be reconfirmed for GOLFTOWN before publication, reservation or purchase.

Clubhouse & Sports Arena Membership

The separately supplied Somabay information states that Clubhouse with Sports Arena membership is mandatory and due 1 year after reservation.

The supplied membership options are:

• EGP 400,000 – cash
• EGP 500,000 – over 2 years / 8 installments
• EGP 600,000 – over 3 years / 12 installments

The GOLFTOWN brochure confirms the importance of the Clubhouse and Soma Sports Arena within the project’s lifestyle environment, but it does not confirm these specific membership prices or payment terms.

Beachfront Real Estate therefore recommends reconfirming the current membership requirement and applicable charges before reservation.

Delivery

The uploaded GOLFTOWN Marina Edition brochure does not provide a confirmed contractual delivery date.

A delivery date should therefore not be published until it has been confirmed through current developer documentation for the relevant property or phase.

Payment Plans

The uploaded brochure does not provide a current payment plan for GOLFTOWN Marina Edition.

Payment structures, prices, discounts and availability are live commercial information and should be verified against the latest developer quotation before publication or reservation.

Beachfront Buyer Perspective

GOLFTOWN Marina Edition offers a distinctive proposition within Somabay because it brings together golf, lagoon and marina-oriented living rather than relying solely on a beachfront positioning.

Its variety of chalet formats also means that buyers can choose between compact 1-bedroom residences, larger 2-bedroom configurations and standalone 3-bedroom homes within the same residential environment.

From a Beachfront Real Estate advisory perspective, buyers should compare:

• Exact masterplan position
• Building and chalet type
• Floor and elevation
• Confirmed view
• Orientation
• Built-Up Area
• Terrace and outdoor space
• Garden area where applicable
• Relationship to the lagoon
• Relationship to the golf course
• Distance to Somabay Marina
• Finishing specification
• Maintenance and utility costs
• Clubhouse & Sports Arena membership obligations
• Contractual delivery date
• Ownership and purchase documentation
• Intended personal, holiday or long-term use

A residence described as being within a golf- and lagoon-oriented community should not automatically be assumed to have a golf view, lagoon view, marina view or sea view. These characteristics need to be confirmed for the individual property.

Beachfront Real Estate provides current property information, availability and quotations before purchase so that buyers can compare the individual residence rather than relying only on the wider project concept.
