The Location

The superb K-Villa range of villas are designed with the landscape in mind. Get connected to the surrounding environment and be inspired by the undeniably beautiful views to the crisp and crystal Mediterranean coastline in the ever sought after location of Esentepe.

This location is a place that Kensington knows and loves, and we know how to make the most of the landscape available. Esentepe, meaning ‘windy hill’ believed to date back to the Byzantine era, is a popular location for holidays and long term residence. Known also as the gateway to the Karpas region, it is located and populated along the east coast and in the mountain foothills, around 20 minutes to the east of Girne (Kyrenia).

Esentepe and the beauty of the surrounding areas of Alagadi, Karaağac and Alevkaya make this area a must see, particularly due to the turtle nesting sites on the fantastic beaches of the area, the forest walks, picnic sites and the

Herbarium featuring samples and illustrations of native botanical species. It’s also an area historically rich with ruins of various monasteries, as well as the domed church of Antiphonitis which contains one of the last examples of 12th and 15th century frescoes in North Cyprus.

The area is also extremely popular for those who love sport orientated holidays, with the superb Korineum Golf & Beach Resort and its 18-hole championship golf course, offering golfers the ultimate experience in high course standards together with an unrivalled scenic backdrop.

Local transport routes pass through the area regularly, providing travel options to all the popular beaches and Girne (Kyrenia), just 20km away. For airport arrivals, Ercan International Airport is less than 40 minutes and Larnaca International Airport is just over 1 hour by car or taxi.
