Realising the Vision

imag00009Set on the unspoilt prime beachfront 10km north of the vibrant city of Walvis Bay, this luxury development aims to create a secure and peaceful residential development, blending harmoniously with the natural desert environment. Afrodite Beach will consist of various sized modern houses, luxury hotel with hotel apartments, conference, a health spa and commercial facilities. The emphasis of the development is capturing the spirit of rest and nature, yet equipped with all the amenities in any modern city. Afrodite Beach is based on the idea of a secure and comfortable community. Prospective buyers will be able to buy erf/plot from the Developer or the Developer’s appointed Agents. The buyers may select the Architects, Engineers and contractors of their choice. Condition is that the buyers will adhere to the Architectural guidelines and conditions within Afrodite Beach. This creative approach allows buyers to develop their houses or units to their taste and comfort within the limits of the guidelines. This will also ensure that the basic look of the buildings blend harmoniously.

The Architectural guidelines and conditions are aimed at encouraging iindividuall creativity while fostering a unity and synchrony of materials, finishes and décor. In this way, the overall development harmonizes with its natural surroundings to create a balanced lifestyle for all residents and to allow for a variety of individual Architectural designs. The Architectural guidelines and conditions also allows for a fairly broad range of personal choice in the external design of the buildings, but that the overall character of the development shall be identifiable by the use of certain unifying external elements such as the colour and finish of external walls including roof coverings. The nature of the landscaping will also contribute to the objective of achieving an interesting range of mutually compatible building designs that are aesthetically pleasing. Some of the conditions applied in the Afrodite Beach include strictly, no subdivision, no consolidation and no rezoning of single erven, building height restrictions, colour schemes, concealed gutters and plumbing pipes and strict environmental care.

Boost to economy
Built to the tune of more than N$1, 5 billion, Afrodite Beach is a huge investment for Erongo region and particularly for Walvis Bay. Once complete it will create employment for approximately 500 people, while bringing a healthy boost to the rapidly developing Walvis Bay economy. The construction phase utilized the skills and labor of hundreds of builders and craftsmen, in creating the vision Savva has always cherished. A team of the most respected professionals such as Engineers, Architects, Landscaping specialists, Surveyors, Town planners, Infrastructure contractors and Environmentalists were engaged to breathe life into the Afrodite Beach development.

Approximately 2,000 palm trees will be planted as part of the oasis in the desert theme. The development is also the first to utilize a storm water draining system in the region. Apart from providing fresh drinking water to each property, the Developer provides semi-purified water to each property on the development to encourage vegetation and plant life. Considering the fragile environment of the Namib Desert and its abundance of unique plant, marine and bird life, a thorough environment impact assessment found the development to be environmentally friendly.
