<\/p>\nPalma Bay Rotana North Coast is a ready, operating hotel resort inside Marina 5 in New Alamein. Rotana runs it as a family-friendly, alcohol-free 4-star resort with 176 rooms and suites, and some of them are sold as furnished hotel apartments on the resale market. It is a delivered project, not one under construction, so this page is about ready units held by their owners and not about a new development plan (as of the latest update in October 2026).<\/p>\n
On July 8, 2024, Rotana announced the opening of Palma Bay Rotana Resort at Marina 5 in New Alamein. It is the group’s second hotel in Egypt after Grand Rotana Resort & Spa in Sharm El Sheikh, and it brings the group’s total to 702 rooms in Egypt. The resort sits between the Mediterranean and a lagoon, and its rooms range from standard rooms to one-, two- and three-bedroom suites with sea, lagoon or neighborhood views.<\/p>\n
The project consists of fully furnished hotel apartments run under Rotana’s own hospitality system, with the possibility of rental income. That is a marketing phrase and does not mean guaranteed income. The Rotana announcement does not name the owning or developing entity, while the developer data lists “Palma Bay” and then “Rotana Developments”. We therefore state here what is confirmed by the official announcement and list the owning entity as something to verify before contracting.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The resort is in Marina 5 in New Alamein City, an area at around kilometer 100 of the Alexandria-Matrouh coastal road, among the North Coast villages<\/a> that operate all summer. Alamein is about 130 kilometers from Alexandria, a trip of around 90 minutes, and about 3 hours by car from Cairo, close to El Alamein International Airport, Sidi Abdel Rahman and Ras El Hekma.<\/p>\n The resort faces a private beach about 400 meters long. To compare with the neighboring units, you can look at Marina 5<\/a> and The Island Marina 5<\/a>.<\/p>\n As of October 2026 the units fall into four types:<\/p>\n Each unit has a private balcony and is fully furnished. These specifications suit someone who wants a unit that is ready for the first summer, with no waiting period or fit-out.<\/p>\n Prices at Palma Bay Rotana start from EGP 8 million for a studio, which is also the announced launch price. A one-bedroom unit starts from EGP 13 million, a two-bedroom from EGP 36 million, and a three-bedroom duplex from EGP 47 million. Because the project is ready, actual market prices are those of owners reselling, and they differ from unit to unit by floor, view and the condition of the furniture.<\/p>\n We present three original payment plans from the developer. These are old plans that may not apply to resale units:<\/p>\n Delivery was in January 2025, and the resort has been operating since July 2024 at least. When you buy from a previous owner, the payment terms are agreed directly with them, and we help you review them and transfer the ownership.<\/p>\n The resort is operated by Rotana<\/a>, a hotel group that runs 77 hotels in the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe and Turkey, and we list “Rotana Developments” as the entity linked to the project. We separate the two because running the hotel does not necessarily mean Rotana is the direct seller of the units, and that is the first question we ask each owner before any contract begins.<\/p>\n The resort includes:<\/p>\n The main advantage is that you know exactly what you are buying: a built, furnished unit inside a working hotel, not a model on paper. On the other hand, you should ask about the annual service fees, any revenue-sharing arrangement with the hotel, how long the right to use the hotel facilities lasts, and whether owners are allowed to stay in their unit at the peak of summer. These items change the real return more than the price gap between two similar units.<\/p>\n Palma Bay Rotana units are sold as hotel apartments inside a hotel run by Rotana, while the surrounding Marina 5 has residential buildings and chalets managed by their owners. The main difference is in service, facilities and fees. In the hotel you get room service, security, central maintenance and managed pools and beach, but you pay service fees and the hotel’s rules may limit how you furnish and rent the unit. An ordinary residential unit is often cheaper but comes without an operating umbrella. We help you work out the difference between the two options in numbers, because a studio price from EGP 8 million calls for knowing what you pay each year on top of the price.<\/p>\n We cut the route down to four steps. We start by sending the list of owner units available and their prices after checking when they were last updated, and then we define the unit type and your budget with you. After that we review the sale contract, the seller’s title deed and what they have paid to the owning entity, and we confirm the annual service fees and the hotel rental terms in writing. Finally we follow the payment, the ownership transfer and the handover of the unit and keys with you. Do not pay any amount before you see the documents, and do not rely on a verbal promise of a discount or a guaranteed return.<\/p>\n For more, browse North Coast projects<\/a>, learn about Rotana Developments<\/a>, compare with Marina 5<\/a>, Marina 6<\/a> and Marina El Alamein<\/a>, and see the best North Coast villages<\/a>.<\/p>\n In Marina 5 in New Alamein City on the Mediterranean coast, about 130 kilometers from Alexandria.<\/p>\n From EGP 8 million for a studio, EGP 13 million for a one-bedroom, EGP 36 million for a two-bedroom and EGP 47 million for a duplex.<\/p>\n Yes.
