Serrenia ! NB: Not For Weak Heart

Another mega marina is being created. This one, which has over 300 berths is part of a massive billion-dollar residential development called Serrenia on the Red Sea coast in Egypt, an hour's flight from Cairo. The complex includes a spa with an elevated infinity pool, a 200-bedroom, seven-star hotel, residential areas that include palaces, villas and apartments and something called the Hub, a shopping area beneath a floating roof. The marina features a flying-saucer-style yacht club that looks more like an airport lounge and in the center this blimp-on-end, the Serrenia Beacon. Work on the marina, which involves creating a big basin, will start at the tail end of this year with completion set for 2008.

The ultra luxury new US$2 billion residential resort and hotel designed by Foster & Partners, built by Vantage Real Estate Development, a subsidiary of Shaheen Business and Investment Group, (SBIG). Inspired by the unique landscape in which it is situated, Serrenia is set over 650 acres, or three million square metres, with 736 residential units, including palaces and a range of villas and apartments. In addition, there is a 200-room 7-star luxury hotel, a world-class spa, a signature 18-hole golf course, restaurants, retail and several sporting facilities. Serrenia's Marina 'Hub' is one of the focal points of the development - with an extraordinary wave shaped floating roof and a vast airy, cool space below. A central pier, yacht marina and beach club extend from the hub.
