The idea

A slower rhythm by the Red Sea.

Il Bayou is planned as a year-round coastal community—not simply a place for short holidays.

Across its announced 30-acre setting, the project brings together fully finished residences, water features, landscaped spaces and hospitality-led services. Its architecture is by L35 Madrid, the international studio whose portfolio includes the transformation of Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

The appeal is the balance: privacy at home, resort facilities nearby, and Sahl Hasheesh life within easy reach.

The residences

Different ways to live by the water.

A varied collection of fully finished homes offers different ways to live by the water. Exact availability, views and specifications depend on the release and phase.

Before you decide

Questions worth asking.

Where exactly is Il Bayou?

It is in Sahl Hasheesh on Egypt's Red Sea coast, around 9 minutes from Old Town and 15 minutes from Hurghada International Airport.

What types of homes are planned?

Planned homes include fully finished chalets, apartments, townhouses and twin houses, plus a boutique hotel. The available mix changes by release.

What is the current payment plan?

As of 2 September 2026, the payment plan starts with 15% down and continues over 6 years. Promotions and unit-specific terms can change, so we reconfirm them before you proceed.

Is every unit delivering in 2026?

No. Phase 1 is moving toward liveability during 2026, while delivery varies by phase, building and contract. We check the exact unit before you rely on a date.

Are the homes fully finished?

Residences are offered fully finished. Check the exact unit's finish specification and whether furniture, appliances or services are included in its offer and contract.

Are air conditioning, kitchen units and wardrobes included?

The current sales specification lists air conditioning, kitchen units and wardrobes. The exact package can vary by phase and unit, so we verify the written finishing schedule before you reserve.

Which serviced-compound facilities should be confirmed?

The service list to confirm includes housekeeping, laundry, security, parking, elevators and nearby retail services. We check availability, operating hours and fees for the relevant phase.

Can foreigners buy in Sahl Hasheesh?

Yes. Foreigners can buy property in Sahl Hasheesh, including Il Bayou. The ownership and registration process depends on the buyer and the specific transaction, so the contract and title documents should be reviewed by an independent Egyptian property lawyer before signing or transferring funds.

What should I verify before reserving?

Confirm the unit code, gross and internal area, view, floor plan, finish schedule, service and maintenance charges, delivery date, cancellation terms and the complete payment schedule in writing.

Is Harmony Properties the developer?

No. Il Bayou is developed by The Land Developers. Harmony Properties is an independent Hurghada real estate agency helping buyers compare and verify options. No exclusive or official-agent claim is made here.
