A major tourism and real estate development known as The Rocks has been proposed by DRL5COMOS PROPERTIES LTD in the community of Pentakomo, in the Limassol district.
The company has submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to the Environmental Authority, with the proposed development currently undergoing a public consultation process.
According to the project’s master plan, The Rocks will comprise a mixed-use tourism development, with operations expected to commence in 2029.
The scheme will include a 126-room hotel, 26 villas, 73 apartments and a beachfront service area covering 1,180 square metres.

The project also includes a dedicated access point linking the external road network with the internal roads and parking areas within the development.
Existing buildings currently located on the site will be demolished to make way for the new scheme.
