Long Beach (Uzun Yol) in Iskele is North Cyprus’s number-one resort-investment address, with modern apartments from around €70,000 and penthouses to €260,000. A purpose-built strip of pool-and-beach residential complexes on the east coast, Long Beach delivers the island’s strongest short-let holiday income and off-plan capital growth.
Discover Long Beach: seven kilometres of golden boom
Long Beach is exactly what its name says — an almost seven-kilometre ribbon of golden sand running north from İskele toward Boğaz, backed for most of its length by a public promenade of palms, playgrounds, outdoor gyms and beach bars. A decade ago there was little here but dunes; today it is the fastest-rising resort address in the Eastern Mediterranean.
The transformation is planned, not accidental: wide boulevards, cycle paths and public beach access were laid out first, and the residential towers and resort communities — many with their own pools, spas and shopping arcades — filled in behind. The result feels closer to Spain’s modern costas than to old Cyprus: international, serviced, and busy ten months a year with holidaymakers, digital nomads and winter residents.
For investors, Long Beach is Northern Cyprus’ yield engine. Short-let demand runs from April to November and increasingly through winter; managed rental programmes take the work out of ownership; and each completed phase has repriced the next one higher. Buy on plan, furnish smart, and the beach does the marketing.

What makes Long Beach different
Unlike a traditional town, Long Beach is a modern master-planned coastal community. Owners buy into managed complexes with on-site facilities and rental management, making it the easiest way for overseas investors to earn hands-off holiday-let income in North Cyprus.
Rental yields and return on investment
Long Beach achieves some of the highest returns in the Mediterranean — gross yields of 8–12% — thanks to summer tourism occupancy plus off-season expat tenants. Combined with off-plan capital growth and tax advantages for foreign buyers, it is the go-to choice for pure investment.
