The Ring

The Ring is a large gated residential resort in Meneou (Dromolaxia–Meneou municipality), Larnaca, a few minutes' drive from Larnaca airport and the Larnaca Salt Lake. The apartment blocks and villas are laid out in a ring around a central park, which gives the project its name. It is a partnership of Astrea International Properties (Greece), Aroundtown Property Holdings and the Prosperity Group, designed by UHA Architects (London), with a total investment of about €180 million.

The masterplan has about 770 homes: studios and 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom apartments in five- and six-storey blocks, plus a row of villas around the outer edge. Indicative internal sizes: 1-bedroom about 50–55 m², 2-bedroom about 70–85 m², 3-bedroom about 110–113 m², each with a veranda. Prices start from €170,000. The homes are sold off-plan with a flexible payment plan, and the developer reports more than 300 apartments already sold.

Amenities: about 16,000 m² of landscaped gardens and parks with walking and running paths and an amphitheatre; several swimming pools (adult, children's, heated indoor pool, cabanas); a spa and wellness centre; a gym with yoga and pilates studios; basketball and padel courts; mini golf; a cinema hall; a co-working space with meeting rooms; restaurants, cafés and a convenience store; children's play areas; and 24/7 security.
