The construction of a mixed tourism development that will include a hotel, villas and an apartment building with residential apartments in Ayia Napa is being planned by Aesara Investments, which has filed a relevant Information Form with the Department of Environment.
According to a search in the electronic services of the Department of the Registrar of Companies, the company is linked to the Co-CEOs of Wavemaker Hospitality which manages over 40 hotels and resorts in Greece and Cyprus, with iconic brands (Atlantica Hotels & Resorts, Mare Resorts, Aphrodite Hills Resort, APHI Resorts and AMOH, a Luxury Collection Resort, Rhodes).
As stated in the report submitted to the Department of Environment, the hotel will include an underground parking lot, a ground floor and four upper floors, with a capacity of 324 rooms. The apartment building will include two underground parking lots, a ground floor and four upper floors with a total of 20 apartments. In addition, the development will include 33 bungalow-type villas that will be part of the hotel.
The development is located on a plot in the "Limnara" area of the Ayia Napa municipal district, Ayia Napa Municipality, in Tourist Zone T6(E1). The area is located along the coastline between the residential core of Ayia Napa and Cape Greco, south of Kryou Nerou Avenue.
It is emphasized that the existing tourist complex "Mare Ayia Napa" is located within the same plot, in its eastern part.
The estimated project cost reaches €50,000,000, while the project is expected to be executed within 24 months from the start of work.
