In Northern Cyprus the title category — not the building — decides how secure your ownership is. We confirm the category for this project in writing before any money moves.
How the four categories differ →Caesar Palm Jumeirah Bogaz is a complex of 836 apartments by Afik Construction LTD (Afik Group) on the Karpaz main road in Northern Cyprus, described by the developer as seven high-rise buildings around a palm-shaped pool. This guide to the Caesar Palm Jumeirah Bogaz project sets out what the developer publishes and omits (no price, floor area or delivery date), how the Boğaz location was decided, the running costs the facilities imply and the legal checks to settle in writing. No price is estimated.

The developer’s projects page lists Caesar Palm Jumeirah as 836 units, a figure that is the same in all six language versions of that page. The project website describes seven high-rise buildings of 24 floors each, a communal palm-shaped pool, an infinity pool for the residents of each building, and studios, 1+1 and 2+1 apartments and penthouses that come “fully equipped and furnished”. The projects page was last modified on 13 March 2025 and states no price, floor area, delivery date or status for this project.
Status therefore has to be inferred. A developer blog page, why-afikgroup, lists the scheme as “Upcoming” with 836 units, and a presentation dated April 2023 refers to a handover (“HO”) without a date. This guide treats the project as ongoing and leaves the status line as not stated. A buyer should ask which buildings are finished, which are under construction and which have not started.
The developer’s labels disagree on the place. The projects page prints the address as Karpaz Anayolu, Dipkarpaz, while the developer’s map coordinates for the neighbouring Caesar Blue scheme and a developer blog point to Boğaz on the Karpaz main road. For Palm Jumeirah no coordinates are published, only the blog’s grouping, so the listing is filed under Boğaz and section 3 sets out the evidence.
The name echoes the Palm Jumeirah island in Dubai, but this is a Northern Cyprus scheme and has no connection to the Dubai listings on this site. For the wider market and the rules for foreign buyers, see the Northern Cyprus country page.

The developer names four unit types for the project. The project website shows three apartment tabs, studio, 1+1 and 2+1, and its welcome text adds penthouses, which have no tab of their own. The names follow the local convention of bedrooms plus a living room, so the bedroom counts below are read from the names, not from a published specification. No floor area, bathroom count or balcony size is published for any type, and the presentation shows floor plans only as pictures.
| Unit type | Where it is named | Bedrooms (from name) | Area | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | Project website apartment tab and gallery tab | 0 | Not published | Not published |
| 1+1 | Project website apartment tab; virtual tour node “1+1 Apartment” | 1 | Not published | Not published |
| 2+1 | Project website apartment tab | 2 | Not published | Not published |
| Penthouse | Project website welcome text only | Not stated | Not published | Not published |

The one hard number the developer gives is the unit total, so it is worth testing against the building descriptions. The second table does that with arithmetic only, using the developer’s figures and no assumption about sizes.
| Calculation (calculated from the developer’s figures) | Working | Result and reading |
|---|---|---|
| Units per building if the seven buildings were equal | 836 ÷ 7 | 119.4, not a whole number, so the buildings cannot all hold the same number of units |
| Units per floor on the website description (7 buildings × 24 floors = 168 floors) | 836 ÷ 168 | 4.98, about five a floor if every floor held apartments |
| Units per level on the presentation’s plan titles (ground floor plus 1st to 10th floors = 11 levels; 7 × 11 = 77) | 836 ÷ 77 | 10.86, about eleven a level |
| Ratio between the two readings | 10.86 ÷ 4.98 | 2.18, so the two descriptions imply very different buildings |
The gap is the finding, not any single figure. A scheme of seven 24-floor towers and a scheme whose plans stop at the 10th floor are not the same product, and the developer does not say which description is current. The presentation was uploaded in April 2023 and the render files on the project website carry June 2023 upload paths, so the two documents may reflect different design stages. Floor counts also change the running costs in section 4, because lifts, fire systems and common areas scale with height.
The same caution applies to sizes. Sizes quoted on archived pages for sister schemes belong to those schemes and should not be transferred to this one. Because the apartments are described as furnished, a buyer should also ask whether a quoted area is net or gross. Until the developer supplies areas, any per-square-metre comparison of this project is guesswork.
What a buyer can reasonably ask for in writing before relying on any unit description:
The developer gives two different places for this project, so the first task is to say which one this page uses. The projects page and the footer of the project website print the address as Karpaz Anayolu (Karpaz main road), Dipkarpaz, with the postcode 5731. A developer blog groups Caesar Beach, Caesar Blue, Caesar Palm Jumeirah and Caesar Blue Line Villas “in Karpaz Main Road, Bogaz”. The table sets the evidence side by side.
| Developer source | What it says | Points to |
|---|---|---|
| Projects page (six languages) | Karpaz Anayolu, Dipkarpaz, North Cyprus | Dipkarpaz label |
| Project website footer | Karpaz Anayolu, Dikarpaz 5731 | Dipkarpaz label, postcode 5731 |
| Project website map | A text search for the address, no pinned point | No coordinates |
| Developer blog on the biggest project | Beach, Blue, Palm Jumeirah and Blue Line Villas “in Karpaz Main Road, Bogaz” | Boğaz |
| Resort site caesar-projects.com | Names the Blue scheme “Blue Resort Bogaz” (Blue only) | Boğaz for the sister scheme |
| Caesar Blue map, archived January 2024 | Pinned point 35.3288 N, 33.9719 E (Blue only) | Boğaz stretch of the road |
| Caesar Blue virtual-tour drone shots | Image coordinates 35.327 to 35.330 N, 33.970 to 33.975 E (Blue only) | Same point, within about 0.3 km |
| Postcode 5731 | Printed for Blue, Palm Jumeirah and Beach | One locality |

The listing is filed under Boğaz because the sister scheme has a pinned map point there and the blog and the shared postcode put Palm Jumeirah on the same road. That is an inference from the developer’s material, not a confirmation.
Every distance below is measured from the Caesar Blue map point and is indicative for the Boğaz stretch of the road, so the Palm plot could lie elsewhere along it. A buyer should obtain the parcel number and have a lawyer check it at the Land Registry through a research document (Land Registry notice) before paying a deposit.
Boğaz is one of the 18 wards of İskele municipality. The 2011 census, the latest, counted 157 residents there, against 7,906 for the municipality and 22,492 for the district; there has been no census since (Table 3, Table 1). Dipkarpaz, the other candidate, is also in İskele district, in the Yeni Erenköy sub-district, so the district question is the same either way. Wikipedia calls İskele and neighbouring Boğaz the gateway of the Karpaz peninsula, which covers 898 km² (secondary source).
There is no state hospital in İskele district: the Ministry of Health list names six, none there, and the Statistical Yearbook 2024 records no in-patient beds in the district for 2020 to 2024. A Karpaz Hospital is under construction, and on 17 August 2026 the minister said the building would be finished by the end of 2026 (ministry item); that is a promise, not an opening.
Gazimağusa State Hospital, with about 160 beds (hospital page), is the nearest state hospital with in-patient beds. The service counts compiled for the area (banks, pharmacies, supermarkets) are taken within 6 km of the Long Beach roundabout; the Blue map point is 11.2 km from it, so they do not describe Boğaz.
On the sea, the project website says the beach is “only 300 metres” away, a figure with no second source. The Environment Protection Department’s 2024 note records 1,834 turtle nests on the Karpaz beaches and sets rules for nesting beaches, including no umbrellas within 35 m of the sea; it does not say whether the Boğaz shoreline is a nesting beach. A buyer should ask for the distance from the plot to the water in metres and for any beach-use limits.
The developer’s blog places four schemes on this road: Blue (1,600 units plus 98 villas), Palm Jumeirah (836), Blue Line Villas (74) and Beach (220). Added from the developer’s figures, 1,698 + 836 + 74 + 220 = 2,828 units, if the 74 villas are not already inside the Blue total. Another developer’s 952-unit scheme, Courtyard Platinum, is labelled Boğaz on this site, as is the 20-villa Solmaris. A cluster of that size raises fair questions about the road, water and electricity networks that serve it.
Straight-line figures are calculated from the Blue map point to published place coordinates; road figures are OpenStreetMap-based route estimates (OSRM), which start from İskele town or the Long Beach roundabout, not from Boğaz, and exclude traffic and border queues. In those estimates, road distance from İskele town runs from 1.1 to 1.6 times the straight-line figure, so straight-line numbers understate the drive.
| Nearby places and distances for Caesar Palm Jumeirah Bogaz | What it is | Distance (straight-line from the Blue map point, calculated; road figure from İskele town unless stated) | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| İskele town centre | District and municipal centre | 8.2 km; no road figure from Boğaz | Route estimate (OSRM) |
| Long Beach roundabout | Landmark on the İskele waterfront strip | 11.2 km | Route estimate (OSRM) |
| Bafra | Karpaz coast resort village | 10.6 km; 20.9 km by road, 23 min | Route estimate (OSRM) |

The facilities named for this project fall into three layers, and each layer has a different payer. The first sits inside each building: a lobby, a gym, a lounge and a co-working area with high-speed internet, plus an infinity pool for that building’s residents. The second is shared across the site: the palm-shaped pool, a kids’ pool, a playground, a fitness centre with crossfit and martial-arts sections, a tennis and football court, a fountain and garden and a BBQ area.
The third is commercial: the Azul restaurant described as run by the Afik group, an Arabic restaurant, a shisha lounge and bar, a bakery and café with posted opening hours, water sports and a beach said to be 300 m away.
Counting the items shows the load. If every item is built as listed, the pools alone number at least ten (calculated: 1 palm pool + 7 infinity pools + 1 kids’ pool + 1 indoor heated pool), and the gyms could number eight (7 building gyms + 1 fitness centre). Each needs staff, chemicals, energy, insurance and repairs, and the developer states no budget for any of them.
For comparison, the developer’s own pool counts for Caesar Resort conflict across its pages (13, 15 and 20), so a facility count on a marketing page is a statement to verify, not a specification.
The indoor area is described as a heated pool with sauna, hammam, jacuzzi and ice bath. Winters are mild rather than warm: at Paralimni, the nearest WMO-listed climate record found for this guide, the January mean daily maximum is 15.9 °C and the minimum 8.1 °C, against 32.9 °C and 23.4 °C in July (WMO, 2002 to 2011).
Heating therefore matters for the cooler months. The developer publishes no opening hours, heating season or usage charge for the indoor area, so a buyer should ask whether it is open and heated all year and whether its cost sits inside the maintenance fee.
The developer’s maintenance page publishes monthly and annual owner fees in pounds sterling, effective from 1 January 2026 and fixed until 31 December 2026. It does not name any project, refers to “applicable Resorts and/or Projects” and contains clauses that mention Caesar Resort, so the page does not state that it governs Palm Jumeirah. The agreement renews itself for as long as the owner holds the unit, and the fee can be revised by written notice to the owner’s email address.
Other terms on the same page matter to an owner here. Fees are payable in advance and within 14 days of the period start, a late payment adds GBP 15 for each month of delay, and the maintenance company may suspend services and facility access.
Owners also pay a share of an undefined “Float” within 14 days of notice, must insure the property under TRNC law and must put water and electricity meters in their own name from handover. Where the maintenance company runs the site’s water, owners buy water credit at reception.
| Cost line | What the developer publishes | What to ask for in writing | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maintenance fee | General schedule from 1 January 2026: studio GBP 70 a month (840 a year), 1+1 GBP 80 (960), 2+1 GBP 90 (1,080); no penthouse line | The fee for the exact unit type in this building, what it covers and how it can change | Maintenance page |
| Late payment and suspension | GBP 15 a month of delay after 14 days; services and facility access may be withheld | Notice period and any cap | Maintenance page |
| Float | An owner’s “share of the Float”, payable within 14 days of notice; purpose not stated | What it funds, who holds it and whether it is returned on resale | Maintenance page |
| Water and electricity | Meters in the owner’s name from handover; connection fee and VAT said to fall due within a year of key handover (undated purchasing page) | Connection fees, deposits and who pays before handover | Maintenance page; purchasing page |
| Indoor heated pool, sauna, hammam | Listed as facilities; no hours, season or fee | Operating season, hours and any usage charge | Project website |
| Membership and access | The project website describes a membership programme for owners, their families and tenants; terms not published | How access is issued, charges for extra residents and tenant rules | Project website |
| Insurance | Owner must insure the property under TRNC law | Whether building insurance is arranged centrally and its cost | Maintenance page |
| Annual property tax | Latest official schedule found is for 2025: TL 6.60 per m² up to 120 m² and TL 7.15 above, surcharges of 10% to 60% by category; no 2026 schedule located | The assessed area and category of the unit | Tax Department schedule |
| Furniture and fittings | Website: “fully equipped and furnished”; presentation: kitchen cabinets, bathroom fittings, underfloor heating in bathrooms, ceramic floors | An itemised inventory signed at handover | Project website; April 2023 presentation |

The project website says the membership programme is open to apartment owners and their families and, separately, to tenants and their families, covering restaurants, fitness, spa, leisure, aquaparks, pools and playgrounds. It gives no fees. The membership app page of the resort operator describes a digital QR code needed for facility access, extra residents bought one by one and an owner’s access that switches to the tenant during a let; it lists four other resorts and does not name Palm Jumeirah. How access will work here is therefore unpublished.
The operator behind that page is Afik Rentals LTD, a different company from the seller, Afik Construction LTD. A buyer should ask which company contracts for the restaurants, the membership and the maintenance, and in whose name any fee is invoiced.
Before signing, work through this list:
The only payment structures published for this project are in the April 2023 presentation, and the document is more than three years old. Its labels are garbled in the text layer, so the options below are read from the rendered page 11. The developer’s marketing includes a rental guarantee, a promise with no published terms; this page does not treat it as current.
| Option (April 2023 presentation) | Down payment | Remainder as printed | Calculated reading |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 30% | 70% in 84 months | 70 ÷ 84 = 0.83% of the price a month; 84 months is 7 years |
| B | 40% | 36% until handover; 24% shown as covered by the rental guarantee over three years | 40 + 36 = 76% in the buyer’s own payments if the guarantee settles the other 24% |
| C | 75% | 25% until handover; annual cashback usable as payment; three further years of rental guarantee | The percentages printed for cashback and guarantee are not repeated here because they would read as returns |
As of 23 October 2026 the numerical limits on foreign purchases come from Decree-Law 89/2026 (Resmi Gazete No. 147, 7 August 2026), which re-issued 63/2026 (No. 87, 11 May 2026). The decree has a 90-day life that runs out about 5 November 2026 unless Parliament enacts it, and the consolidated Law 52/2008 still shows a stricter text.
The decree allows up to 3 apartments (6 for nationals of states that recognise the TRNC) and caps sales of a housing project in a zoned area at 80% to foreigners; the consolidated text says 1 apartment. Land Registry fees (Resmi Gazete No. 197, 7 October 2026) are 4% for a first property, 5.5% for a second and 6% for a third, valid only to 5 January 2027.
| Step | Who | Typical time or deadline | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Identify the building, unit and parcel; obtain a Land Registry research document | Buyer’s lawyer; district Land Registry office | Before any deposit; no official time | Land Registry notice |
| 2. Confirm condominium title or easement exists for the unit | Lawyer; Land Registry | Required before the permit application; the decree allows a two-year alternative route where title cannot be established | Law 52/2008; Resmi Gazete 147 |
| 3. Sign the sale contract and pay stamp duty (0.5% of the stated sum, buyer pays unless agreed) | Buyer, seller, Tax Department | On signing | Stamp Duty Law |
| 4. Register the stamped contract at the district Land Registry and apply for the purchase permit | Buyer or lawyer | Within 1 month, otherwise the contract is void | Resmi Gazete 147; Interior Ministry documents |
| 5. Permit published in the Resmi Gazete | Council of Ministers | No official time limit found | Law 52/2008 |
| 6. Pay transfer fees | Buyer | Within 75 working days of publication (60 in the consolidated text) | Resmi Gazete 147 |
| 7. Sign the transfer before the Land Registry official | Buyer and seller | Within 1 year of publication (6 months in the consolidated text) | Resmi Gazete 147 |
| 8. Connect utilities and sign the maintenance agreement | Owner | Connections are refused until taxes and fees are paid | Resmi Gazete 147 |
A long instalment plan changes step 7. Where no mortgage is registered in the seller’s favour, the one-year transfer period starts when the whole price has been paid, so on an 84-month plan the title could pass years after the contract. For wider costs, see the guide to buying, building and renting costs.
Currency needs a clause of its own. The April 2023 presentation names no currency for its percentages. Contract amounts may be expressed in foreign currency under the foreign-exchange law, and a sterling or euro contract avoids lira exposure, which matters because consumer prices rose 35.02% in the 12 months to September 2026 (Statistical Institute). Stamp duty on a foreign-currency contract is still computed in lira at the official selling rate on the stamping date.
Taxes beyond the transfer fee also need a written answer. The updated VAT regulation puts housing up to 300 m² of closed area in the 5% schedule and larger housing in the 10% schedule, but it does not say which sales fall inside VAT, and the claim that developer sales of new buildings carry it is an unverified agency statement. Ask whether VAT is inside or on top of the quoted price.
Most risks here come from what is missing. The location is inferred, the payment document is dated, no delivery date exists and the title category is not stated. The UK Government guidance on buying in the north warns that ownership of many properties is disputed and that pre-1974 owners continue to be regarded as legal owners by the European Court of Human Rights; the Demopoulos decision treats the Immovable Property Commission as the remedy to use first.
The same guidance lists problems seen in Cyprus: building without correct permits, payment plans left out of contracts, difficulty obtaining completion certificates and title deeds, and developer mortgages on the land. The title-deed guide explains the categories.
Height adds a technical question. The project website describes 24-floor towers, and a 2023 press report quotes the then president of the Chamber of Engineers and Architects saying that ground-investigation reports are required for tall buildings and that the İskele area has the most sensitive soil (press report, secondary). No TRNC height or setback rule for İskele was found, so a buyer should ask for the permit, the static calculations and the ground report for the specific building, and for the final approval certificate before handover.
Exposure to the developer is the other structural risk. On the 84-month option, 84 ÷ 12 = 7 years can pass between the first payment and full payment, during which the buyer holds a registered contract rather than title.
If the decree’s 80% cap on foreign sales in a zoned project applies here, at most about 669 of the 836 units (calculated: 836 × 0.8 = 668.8) could go to foreign buyers, which is worth asking the developer about. Separately, the Court of Justice of the EU held in the Orams case that judgments of Republic of Cyprus courts about land in the north can be enforced elsewhere in the EU (press release).
A final point concerns the rental guarantee in the April 2023 presentation. It is marketing text with no published terms, no named guarantor and no date of validity, and it should be read only through the signed contract.

The table shows all eight Afik listings with the developer’s own wording. Status wording differs by page, and several unit counts differ between the projects page and the developer’s blog, as noted in the cells.
| Project | Status (as published) | Units | Area as filed | Unit types | Published price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Caesar Resort Iskele | Ongoing; developer says over 5,000 sold | 7,000 (developer); wording differs by language | İskele, Long Beach area | Studio to three-bedroom, penthouse, shops | GBP 42,000 on the Persian projects page only, unit type unstated |
| Caesar Blue Bogaz | Ongoing | 1,600 plus 98 villas | Boğaz | Studio to two-bedroom, penthouse, villas | Penthouse from GBP 315,103, archived 17 January 2024 |
| Caesar Palm Jumeirah Bogaz (this page) | Not stated; blog says “Upcoming” | 836 | Boğaz | Studio, 1+1, 2+1, penthouses | Not published |
| Blue Line Villas Bogaz | Not stated; blog says “Upcoming” | 74 | Boğaz | Semi-detached and quattro villas | Not published |
| Caesar Cliff Esentepe | Planned (developer) | 296; blog says 333 | Esentepe | Studio, 1+1, 2+1, semi-detached villa | Not published |

By the developer’s unit counts, Palm Jumeirah is the third-largest of the eight, behind Resort (7,000) and Blue (1,698 with villas) and well ahead of the small schemes. Its published detail centres on shared facilities rather than on plots or villas, unlike the villa schemes in the table. Blue Line Villas, which the blog also lists as upcoming on the same road, is a 74-unit furnished villa scheme.
Of the eight, only Beach is stated as complete, so it is the only one where the resale market, not the developer, is the likely source of units. None of the eight publishes a delivery date. No project is ranked here, because the data do not support a ranking.
The developer’s corporate pages are short. Its About page calls Afik Construction LTD an international development and construction company active in Turkey and Cyprus and names reliability and quality of construction as its hallmark, which is a self-description. It gives no founding year, list of completed projects or certification, and the site footer reads 2021.
A founding date comes only from other pages. The resort operator’s About page says 1995, and a developer blog gives the same year and adds that the group is managed by Yaacov Afik, whom the Team page lists as chief executive. The footprint is described three ways (Turkey and Cyprus; the Middle East and Europe; Cyprus, Turkey and the United States), so none of the descriptions is relied on here.
For this project the useful question is which entity does what. Afik Construction LTD is the seller on the projects page. Afik Rentals LTD is named as the company behind the resort and membership site, caesar-projects.com, which lists four other resorts and not Palm Jumeirah. The maintenance page speaks only of a “Maintenance Company” that it never names, and the project website says the complex is developed and designed by Afik Group without naming a building contractor.
A buyer can therefore ask for company registration extracts for every entity that signs a contract or collects a fee, and for the contractor’s name. The purchasing page is undated, so its fee statements are quoted here only as the developer’s, never as current rules.
The projects page gives the address as Karpaz Anayolu, Dipkarpaz, while a developer blog places the scheme on the Karpaz main road at Boğaz, and the map coordinates published for the sister scheme Caesar Blue lie at Boğaz. No coordinates exist for Palm Jumeirah itself, so this guide files it under Boğaz as an inference. A buyer should ask for the parcel number and check it at the Land Registry. The name is unrelated to Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah.
The developer states 836 units, the same on all six language versions of its projects page and in its blog. The project website describes seven buildings of 24 floors each, while the April 2023 presentation titles its plans from the ground floor to the 10th floor. Calculated from the developer’s figures, 836 ÷ 7 is 119.4, so the buildings cannot be identical. Ask for the number of units per building and per type in writing.
No price is published on the projects page, the project website or the April 2023 presentation, which shows payment options but no prices. A blog quotes a quattro-villa price that is not tied to this project, so it is not used. Ask for a dated price list per unit and for what is included, such as furniture and VAT. Housing up to 300 m² of closed area falls in the 5% VAT schedule updated on 7 October 2026 (regulation).
No delivery date is published for any building. The April 2023 presentation refers to “HO”, the handover, in two of its payment options, and a blog calls the scheme “Upcoming”. Ask for a written handover date for the exact building, the remedies if it is missed, and the final approval certificate. Official statistics count only buildings that hold a final approval, so that certificate is the document that marks a finished building (bulletin).
The developer names studios, 1+1 and 2+1 apartments and penthouses. It publishes no floor area, bathroom count or balcony size for any of them, and the plans appear in the presentation only as pictures. Because the apartments are described as furnished, ask whether a stated area is net or gross and whether it includes the balcony. Sizes quoted on archived pages for other Afik schemes should not be applied here.
