Village Mar Bay Ras El Hekma North Coast is a 640-acres beachfront resort that Al Marasem Developments built directly on the Ras El Hekma shoreline, with a 1.5 km private frontage on the Mediterranean. The developer placed the resort at kilometre 200 on the Alexandria to Matrouh road, inside the stretch of the North Coast (Sahel) that has drawn the heaviest demand since the state designated Ras El Hekma a national tourism investment zone. Unit prices open at 14,449,000 EGP and the project pairs that entry point with a payment structure that starts on a 2% reservation and runs over seven years, which sets it in direct comparison with neighbouring Ras El Hekma villages such as Marassi and Live Caesar.

Where is Village Mar Bay Ras El Hekma North Coast located?

The resort sits at kilometre 200 on the Alexandria to Matrouh road, inside the Ras El Hekma district that turned into Egypt’s headline coastal-development destination after the state laid a new high-speed road network through it and earmarked it as a major tourism investment area. The position threads the resort onto several arteries that open access from different directions, chiefly the Alexandria Desert Road, the Coastal Road, the Dabaa Road, and the New Fouka Road, which together cut the drive from Cairo to roughly three hours instead of the longer haul that once separated the old Sahel from the capital.

That same location puts the village minutes from New Alamein International Airport and close to New Alamein City, the Sidi Abdel Rahman tourism zone, and Marsa Matrouh further west. A year-round airport changes the unit from a seasonal summer asset into a property that is reachable at any time of year, and it raises short-term rental potential against Sahel villages that sit far from any airport. New Alamein Airport specifically opens the door to visitors arriving from outside Egypt straight into the region without passing through Cairo, which is an extra source of demand on coastal units in Ras El Hekma.

The resort also sits among the most established names in Ras El Hekma, neighbouring Marassi and Live Caesar, which gives a buyer a direct price reference for comparing units of similar area and view. That proximity to settled coastal brands supports resale value, because the whole area now reads as a single connected hub of services rather than a scatter of isolated villages. Buyers weighing the wider district often line it up against other Ras El Hekma launches such as Hacienda Waters and Stella Heights before deciding.

Area and urban design of the resort

The village spans 640 acres, and Al Marasem allocated the larger share of that land to landscaped gardens, lagoons, and open green space, behind a direct 1.5 km beachfront on the Mediterranean. The distribution lowers building density in favour of open areas, and it lets a wide pool of units face the sea or the lagoon instead of confining the view to a first row only. The size of the plot also gives the developer room to spread the residential categories, so the large villas take more private positions while the chalets cluster near the services and the beach.

The masterplan grades the units from standalone villas down to chalets in a flowing layout that follows the line of the shore, with building materials and colours drawn close to the tone of the sand and the blue of the water. Most units were drawn with balconies and terraces facing the open views, to draw the most out of the beachfront position and lift the share of units that carry a distinctive outlook. Spreading the lagoons between the residential blocks creates extra internal waterfronts, so the prized view is not limited to the direct-sea units but extends to back-row units that overlook the engineered water bodies.

Unit types and sizes at the resort

The village holds six residential categories that cover different use patterns, from the small family chalet to the wide beach villa, with areas between 98 and 420 m² in the core categories and up to 1,000 m² in the Grand Beach villas. That spread suits the buyer after an economical summer chalet and the investor after a large coastal asset, inside one project under unified facility management. Each category below states where it sits within the village and the buyer it serves.

Chalets: from 98 m², offered in two, three, and four bedrooms. This is the most in-demand tier for summer buyers, pairing the lowest entry price in the village with proximity to the beach and services.
Penthouses: three and four bedrooms across 165 to 190 m², with rooftop terraces and open views, for a buyer who wants more space than a chalet and the top-floor experience.
Townhouses: three-bedroom homes across 155 to 200 m², several overlooking the lagoon, giving the privacy of a standalone home below villa pricing.
Twin houses: three and four bedrooms at 175 and 220 m² among green areas, aimed at families after a house with a garden inside a gated community.
Standalone villas: three and four bedrooms from 220 to 350 m² with views over the landscape, directed at a higher tier seeking full privacy.
Grand Beach villas: the largest category, reaching 1,000 m², for the buyer after a wide beach villa with the highest degree of privacy and outlook.

Prices and 2026 payment plans

Prices open at 14,449,000 EGP for the two-bedroom chalet and rise by category, area, and view to 71,299,000 EGP in the large standalone villas. The average installment price per metre runs between 127,000 and 186,500 EGP depending on the unit type, and these figures were updated for 2026 and remain subject to change with availability and launch phase. The four-bedroom chalet metre average of 127,000 EGP reads below the standalone villa average of about 186,500 EGP, which reflects the value gap between a compact unit and a standalone home that comes with its own land and garden. The table sets out the area and price detail for each category.

Chalet	2	98, 128	14,449,000, 19,460,000	149,000

Al Marasem set a flexible payment plan to widen the buyer base, opening on a small reservation and extending over years, with a clear discount for anyone who commits to a longer term. The options break down as follows.

Reservation deposit from 2% of the unit price.
A 5% payment three months after contract.
The remaining balance in installments over up to seven years.
A discount of up to 12.8% on the extended eight-year payment plan.

Pairing a 2% reservation with a seven-year installment lowers the first payment needed to secure a coastal unit in Ras El Hekma, which brings the effective entry cost within reach of a wider segment despite the higher headline price. The 12.8% discount on the eight-year plan rewards the buyer able to lock a longer commitment, cutting the final unit price by a measurable margin. Units are delivered semi-finished, in line with the finishing standard common across the higher Ras El Hekma launches.

Amenities and services inside the village

The resort was designed as a full coastal community that runs its services year-round rather than a seasonal summer spot with thin facilities. The amenities split across leisure, sport, retail, security, and services, so a resident finds daily needs inside the village without leaving it, which is a factor that supports both rental and resale value over the long term. That service integration is precisely what justifies the price gap between a fully serviced village and the smaller projects that offer little beyond a beach and a pool.

Multiple swimming pools of varying sizes spread through the village.
A 1.5 km private beach with beach games and open-air gyms.
An aqua park and water games for family leisure.
A clubhouse and a health club with spa, jacuzzi, and gym.
A commercial mall and supermarket covering daily shopping.
A high-standard medical centre inside the village.
Dedicated running and cycling tracks.
A fully secured kids area and food trucks on the beach.
Garages for parking near the units.
CCTV, modern fire systems, power generators, and 24-hour maintenance and cleaning services.

Al Marasem Developments, the developer behind the resort

The developer is Al Marasem Developments, founded in 1997 as part of the Saudi Binladin Group. The company carries more than a quarter-century of experience in upscale real estate development across the Middle East, and it ranks among the largest five real estate firms in its operating scope, which gives the village an institutional record that lowers the risk of stalling or delay against newer entrants in the coastal market. The link to the Binladin Group also means a strong construction backbone, since the parent group is one of the region’s largest contracting firms.

Al Marasem’s track record covers residential, commercial, and service projects that confirm its ability to deliver and to run large communities. Among the most prominent are Marville in New Zayed, the Al Marasem Fifth Square compound, Moon Residence and Lake Residence in New Cairo (Fifth Settlement), Fifth Square Mall, and Capital Gate compound in New Cairo, alongside Al Marasem Hospital, Al Rehab Mall, Dreamland Mall, and the first and third phases of Marassi. This repeated presence across Fifth Settlement, Zayed, and Marassi shows a firm that works across several markets rather than a single area.

The company also expanded into major service and hospitality projects such as the Fairmont hotel in Cairo, the Al Rehab and Heliopolis clubs, and the headquarters building of Amer Group, along with works at Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada, and Alexandria airports. That portfolio breadth shows Al Marasem is not a residential developer alone but a body able to execute fully serviced infrastructure inside a coastal village the size of Mar Bay, which reassures the buyer on the quality of the shared facilities that define so much of the coastal living experience.

Mar Bay among its neighbouring Ras El Hekma villages

Placing the resort inside the context of its direct neighbours helps frame its price. The chalet opens at 14,449,000 EGP, a band that sits in the middle of the Ras El Hekma villages listed on the property platforms, where entry prices in nearby projects range from roughly 12 to 17 million EGP for units of comparable area. That middle position, set against 640 acres and a 1.5 km beach, makes the project a balanced option between the higher-priced luxury-brand villages and the smaller, less-serviced ones.

The design separates two view tiers inside the village: the direct-sea units that carry the price priority, and the internal lagoon units that offer a waterfront at a level below the first row. That gradation lets a buyer pick the view level that matches a budget without leaving the project, and it widens the demand pool across the units. The range of categories from chalet up to the Grand Beach villa also protects resale liquidity, because each tier has its own pool of buyers.

On the operating side, the proximity of New Alamein International Airport supports an extended short-term rental season, since demand does not hinge on the peak of summer alone but stretches to holidays and events held around New Alamein City through the year. This pattern of widened demand is what separates the modern Ras El Hekma destinations from the old Sahel areas, and it makes a unit here an asset usable for both personal stays and rental at the same time.

Is investing in Mar Bay Ras El Hekma a sound move?

The resort brings together three factors that support the investment case: a position inside the fastest-growing part of the Sahel, a 1.5 km private beach across 640 acres, and a developer with a record stretching back to 1997. The closeness to a year-round New Alamein Airport widens the operating season and lifts short-term rental odds, which distinguishes the destination from old Sahel areas tied to the summer season alone. The state’s focus on Ras El Hekma as a national tourism investment zone adds a layer of medium-term demand stability.

On suitability, the project fits a buyer with a budget above 14 million EGP after a summer unit or a coastal asset that can be rented, and it equally suits the buyer after a wide beach villa through the Grand Beach tier up to 1,000 m². Against that, the village sits about three hours from Cairo, which may not suit anyone who needs a unit close enough for near-permanent use, though the new road network has cut that distance in a tangible way. The presence of established neighbours such as Marassi lets a buyer measure the price per metre here against the wider area before deciding.
