Limassol Marina is more than just a marina; it's a meticulously planned, award-winning integrated luxury development that has significantly contributed to Limassol and Cyprus's international profile. Here's a comprehensive overview: Vision and Development: A National Strategy: The Limassol Marina project forms a crucial part of Cyprus's national strategy to develop nautical tourism and was the country's first step into the superyacht industry. Its strategic location at the crossroads of three continents makes it an attractive year-round destination. Masterplan & Design: Designed by renowned French masterplanner Xavier Bohl, the marina's architecture seamlessly blends with the traditional Cypriot style, inspired by the rich history of the island. Key Milestones: 2010: Concession agreement signed, construction and sales began. 2013: First apartments delivered, and Limassol Marina welcomed its first yachts as an official Port of Entry. 2014: Commercial area, Spa & Fitness, and Trakasol Cultural Centre opened. 2021: Final phase, Castle Residences, completed and delivered. 2023: Limassol Paradox Museum opened. 2024: Celebrated its 10-year anniversary with a bold rebrand focusing on "Blue Health" and community events. Economic Impact: The project has created over 1000 jobs (500 during construction, doubling with operation) and has played a significant role in positioning Cyprus on the nautical yachting map. It attracts substantial daily footfall, increasing significantly on weekends. Unique Features & Offerings: "Living on the Sea" Concept: It offers exclusive properties, including apartments and villas, some with private berths or surrounded by water, providing a unique waterfront living experience. Superyacht Hub: With 650 berths, including 150 private berths adjoined to villas and capacity for yachts up to 110m, it's a premier superyacht destination in the Eastern Mediterranean. It has welcomed over 400 unique superyachts since opening. Comprehensive Services: Beyond berthing, it provides a dedicated concierge service, professional operations team, fuel station, boatyard for light repairs and maintenance (over 1,100 haul-outs), and a trailer boat park. Vibrant Lifestyle Destination: Dine & Shop: Features 14 food & beverage outlets offering diverse cuisines, cafes, and bars, along with 31 shops and boutiques, including a minimarket, pharmacy, and chandlery. Leisure & Entertainment: Includes a secluded Peninsula Beach, Sanctum Spa & Fitness club, the Limassol Paradox Museum, and the Trakasol Cultural Centre which hosts various events. Connectivity: It's conveniently located within the city center, allowing easy access to Limassol's thriving old town, historical sites, and cultural attractions. It's also within a 45-minute drive of Cyprus's two international airports. Sustainability & Environmental Commitment: Blue Space Vision: Limassol Marina is committed to protecting and preserving its "Blue Space" (marine environment) and has integrated sustainable practices from its inception. Eco-Technologies: Initiatives include shore power, advanced filtration systems, use of geothermal energy (e.g., in Castle Residences), and transitioning to electric equipment for maintenance. Environmental Stewardship: Daily monitoring of waterways for pollution, participation in community clean-up schemes, and use of drones and AI to identify and address coastal pollution. Accreditations: Holds the "Blue Flag" quality symbol for environmental management and sustainable development.
