Where Is Dolce Vita Resort? Apartment Types and Payments
Short answer: Dolce Vita Resort is a residential and commercial project we are developing in the Long Beach area of Iskele, on a 70,000 m² plot where the coast meets the forest. Under our project plan it has 428 homes and 8 commercial units in 19 blocks, and the apartment types are 1+0 (studio), one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom. Construction is under way. We do not give current sales terms or the payment schedule in this article, because both vary by apartment and by date. We suggest you ask our sales team for both in writing, with a date on them.
This article is for readers who are looking at apartments at Long Beach and have put Dolce Vita Resort on their shortlist. It explains where the project is, which apartment type suits whom, what is shared within the complex and which documents you should ask for before you sign. The official presentation of the project is on our Dolce Vita Resort project page. If you would like to get to know the area more generally, you can start with our guide to summer and winter life at Long Beach.
Where exactly is Dolce Vita Resort?
The project is on the Long Beach coast in the Iskele district, in a spot where the strip of sand and the woodland meet. Long Beach is a long, shallow beach running along Salamis Bay, north of Famagusta. There are many complexes along the shore, so saying "at Long Beach" is not a sufficient address on its own. You need to see on the site plan which block faces the sea and which faces the forest.
Two journey times are useful for daily life. From Long Beach it takes roughly 20-25 minutes by car to reach central Famagusta, with its state hospital, government offices and larger shops, and 40-45 minutes to reach Ercan Airport. These are approximate figures for the area in general, in normal traffic. We can share the detailed location with you so that you can time the journey yourself from the entrance of the complex. We have also covered bus and airport connections in our Long Beach transport guide.

Here is how the 428 homes are divided under our project plan. The table shows not only the options but also what kind of community the complex will have.
| Apartment type | Number | Share of total | Who it usually suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1+0 (studio) | 188 | About 44% | Single people, couples, or those who will use the home for a few weeks a year |
| One-bedroom (1+1) | 164 | About 38% | Couples who want a separate bedroom for longer stays |
| Two-bedroom (2+1) | 60 | About 14% | Families with small children, those who often have guests |
| Three-bedroom (3+1) | 16 | About 4% | Larger families, households living here all year |
The table shows that more than three quarters of the homes are studios and one-bedroom apartments. That means a good share of your neighbours may use their homes in summer or for short periods. If you are thinking of living here all year round, ask in writing how the pool, security and food and drink areas will be run in the winter months after handover. We have compared the differences in use between a studio, a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom apartment in our guide to choosing between a studio and a one-bedroom at Long Beach.
Private gardens and terraces are among the project's features, but not every apartment has them. We show which apartments have them on the floor plans. A jacuzzi and air conditioning are available as optional extras. When you assess an apartment, ask for the floor plan, dimensions and facade at the same time, along with the garden or terrace boundary as marked on the plan. Two apartments of the same type can differ in floor, orientation and view.
What is shared within the complex?
We have set aside about 2,500 m² of the plot for social facilities. The shared areas in the project plan are:
- Shared swimming pool, spa centre and gym
- Tennis court, basketball court, walking path and green areas
- Restaurant, café bar, terrace café bar and vitamin bar
- Kids' club
For infrastructure, we have planned a central generator, a booster pump system, a central satellite system and a central wastewater treatment system. Security cameras, an automatic entrance gate, site security and car parking are also part of the project. Ask our sales team in writing for the terms of use of the private beach mentioned in the project presentation, that is, who can use it, in which season, and whether a separate fee applies.
The bigger the shared area, the more the scope of the maintenance charge matters. Will the upkeep of areas such as the pool, spa and restaurant be covered by the maintenance charge, or by a per-use fee? Ask this at the offer stage. We explain how to read the items of a maintenance charge in our complex maintenance charge guide.

In sales meetings we group buyers interested in this project around a few expectations. The table below gives an honest summary of which expectations match the project.
| Expectation | Fit | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Wanting a pool, gym and food and drink facilities within the complex | Suits | Social areas are a large part of the project plan |
| A compact home for one person | Suits | Wide choice of studios and one-bedroom apartments |
| A retired person who wants to live here all year | Conditional | The hospital is 20-25 minutes away; ask beforehand about the complex's winter arrangements |
| A family with school-age children | Conditional | The number of two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments is limited; research schools and school transport separately |
| A detached home with a garden and full privacy | Does not suit | The project is built as blocks; there is no villa type |
| Needing to move in by a fixed date | Caution | Construction is ongoing; ask in writing for the handover plan block by block |
What stage is construction at, and how can you follow progress?
Construction of Dolce Vita Resort is ongoing. We share the progress of the works in the "Construction Progress" section of our project website. Because the project consists of 19 blocks, not all blocks may be at the same stage. So rather than asking about overall progress, ask about the status of the block you are interested in.
We do not give a handover date in this article. The handover plan may vary by block, and what is binding is the date written in the contract and the provisions tied to that date, not a date in a brochure or given verbally. We explain how to match progress against photographs, visits and the payment schedule in our article on following construction progress when buying off-plan. For how to check the permit and the approved plan, see also our guide to the building permit and approved plan.
The same written approach helps at handover. Before you take the key, compare the apartment room by room against the floor plan and the technical specification, have any defects written into a dated record and take a copy of that record. This heads off most of the disputes that can arise in the following months. We have set out how to do this check, point by point, in our new home handover checklist.
Who do you ask for sales and payment information, and how?
We set the payment schedule together with you, according to your budget and plans. For that reason we do not publish a single "standard schedule"; the offer changes with the apartment type, floor, facade and signing date. To compare offers properly, ask for all of the documents below, each with a date.
| What to ask for | Why it matters | From whom |
|---|---|---|
| The apartment's floor plan, dimensions and facade | Shows the difference between two apartments of the same type | Sales team |
| Dated sales offer and payment schedule | Makes clear which payment is tied to which stage | Sales team |
| A list of items included in the offer and optional items (jacuzzi, air conditioning, etc.) | Lets you compare like with like | Sales team |
| Handover plan by block | Matches the payment schedule to the construction stage | Sales team, draft contract |
| Type of title deed and the process of registering the contract at the Land Registry and Cadastre Office (Tapu ve Kadastro Dairesi) | Protects your ownership rights | Your independent lawyer |
| Scope of the maintenance charge and terms of use of the private beach | Lets you anticipate your annual costs | Sales team, complex management plan |
We have covered how to read the first payment, interim payments and late-payment provisions in a staged-payment purchase in our guide to buying a home with staged payments. Once you have the offer, we recommend having an independent lawyer review the draft contract before you sign.
What should you look at when visiting the project?
Visiting a building site is different from visiting a finished complex. What you see is today's stage, and you need to match what you are told against documents. You can plan your visit in this order:
- Find the block you are interested in on the site plan and see its position on the ground; compare the facades facing the sea and the forest.
- Photograph the block's current stage and compare it with the progress record on our project website.
- Drive once from the complex to Famagusta, at a time close to your own working or hospital hours.
- Take the floor plan and technical specification with you; ask about kitchen, bathroom and joinery materials.
- Ask for every important piece of information given in the meeting to be confirmed by email.
Another project we are developing in Iskele is Seafront Resort. It is around Long Beach and the ancient city of Salamis, consists of studio (1+0), one-bedroom and loft apartments, and its construction is also ongoing. If you are looking for a smaller complex or a loft-type plan, you can read our Seafront Resort guide and compare the two projects with the same questions.
Frequently asked questions
Which area is Dolce Vita Resort in?
It is in the Long Beach area of Iskele, where the coast meets the forest. From Long Beach it takes roughly 20-25 minutes by car to reach central Famagusta and 40-45 minutes to reach Ercan Airport. We can share the detailed location and the site plan with you.
Which apartment types are there at Dolce Vita Resort?
There are studio (1+0), one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments. Under our project plan there are 428 homes in total in 19 blocks. Our sales team will tell you which types currently have apartments available for sale.
Why are Dolce Vita Resort prices not in this article?
Sales terms and the payment schedule vary by apartment, floor, facade and date. A figure given in an article soon goes out of date and becomes misleading. We recommend asking for a dated, written offer and payment schedule for the apartment you are interested in.
Is the project complete?
No, construction is ongoing. We share progress in the "Construction Progress" section of our project website. You can ask our sales team in writing for the handover plan of the block you are interested in.
Are the pool and beach shared?
The swimming pool is a shared facility for all residents of the complex. Ask our sales team to set out in writing the terms of use for the private beach mentioned in the project presentation.
If you would like to see Dolce Vita Resort in person, or to receive in writing the floor plan and current sales information for the apartment you are interested in, you can contact us; we will plan your visit together according to the status of the block.
