Fifty-five years after its founding, Baştaşlar Group's commitment to building lasting homes and vibrant communities has found its fullest expression in Sun Valley Resort & Residency. This project has not only reshaped the Esentepe region but has also set a new benchmark for regional development in Northern Cyprus. With its integration of lifestyle, sustainability, and infrastructure, Sun Valley has evolved into a self-contained coastal community—complete with its own marina, strategic location near one of the world’s largest golf courses, and infrastructure designed for long-term resilience.
The development goes beyond physical construction. It has generated significant employment across sectors like construction, maintenance, hospitality, and tourism, while also supporting local enterprises and artisans through meaningful partnerships. The ripple effect of its growth is evident in the upgraded road networks, expanded utilities, and introduction of solar-powered clean energy—all of which contribute to the area's modernization and environmental responsibility.
Designed with inclusivity and environmental stewardship in mind, Sun Valley incorporates native vegetation, efficient irrigation systems, and solar technologies that blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings. Its wide walkways, generous green areas, and accessible wellness facilities promote community well-being for all residents, regardless of age or mobility.
What makes Sun Valley exceptional is its long-term vision. It has brought international attention to the region, attracting investors and raising the profile of Northern Cyprus as a place that is not only livable but also future-ready.
