There are only a couple of the €30,350 studios left.

Situated on Tunisia's "Gold Coast", within easy reach of its most exclusive resort, Port El Kantaoui, This beachside development situated conveniently between two of Tunisia's busiest airports offering direct and inexpensive flights to major European cities.

The development itself comprises of studios, one, two and three bed apartments in a low rise setting in a prime residential area close to all facilities including a 36-hole golf course, marina and restaurants. The resort is directly located next to glorious white sandy beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see.

The resort offers on-site world class Thallasso Spa facilities including an indoor swimming pool, Turkish baths, a sauna, gymnasium and beauty and massage treatment rooms with discounts for residents. One can enjoy a massage on the exclusive private beach set aside for residents only or play a round of golf at the finest African golf courses located on your doorstep.

The Dunes is a gated 5 star resort offering 24hr security and concierge facilities as well as on site amenities including a restaurant, snack bar, supermarket, bank, bakery and a rental management company. Rental income is very high in this region due to the strength of the local, neighbouring and European markets.

I have just returned from Tunisia visiting the development and having a holiday and I have to say I was very impressed with the finishing, it is top quality. I have attached some photographs of the development and I have lots more of the golf course, roads, marina etc. if anyone would like them please let me know.

The actual show apartment is not next door to The Dunes, it is part of it. The front where the shops are with apartments above, see artists images attached and compare to the actual photographs, there are lifts at each side of the building and each hallway has a fantastic mosaic picture among the marbled floors. It really is the best building along the road and really stands out; most developments and buildings are painted white. All rooms have coving fitted and the walls in the kitchen look like marble, they are so smooth, the kitchens have in-built ovens and fridge freezers as standard. Even the lifts are special, the ceilings have been decorated and the mirrors inside have the French name of the development La Dous engraved in them.

The beach is about 200m and once cleaned up will be excellent with shallow water for children and there will be sun beds and umbrellas. This will be a private beach for The Dunes and also the properties you can see beyond The Dunes going down towards the beach, this is also by the same builder. I was told some Tunisian footballers have bought there.

I walked from the Marina/Golf course and it took me 40mins however going back I got a taxi to see how much it would cost and it was less than £2.50 so as far as location is concerned very good. Yes it is further out than the big hotels but that is the way the resort is spreading and as all towns/resorts do to keep up the demand for accommodation. Although the Marina and golf courses were 40mins away it was only 10 minutes to restaurants, bars and supermarkets, with many smaller shops even closer.

The hotel I was in was very busy and there were lots of people in the resort of EL Kantaoui with the golf courses full, there were British, Germans, French, Danes and several Tunisian families on holiday. I think giving them the chance to have a self catering holiday with the use of a kitchen will be very appealing to people looking to rent them out.

The studios in The Dunes were designed to be modular from the beginning. What this means is that two studios combined make a spacious 1-bedroom apartment whilst three of them can make a very spacious 2-bed apartment where the living room is in the middle and on either side of it are two suites with their own bathrooms and kitchens. All that is required is a door inter-connecting them which can be fitted quite easily upon completion.

Since studios offer the highest rental yields out of all the apartments in The Dunes, this type of set up is ideal as it offers the maximum flexibility. When the whole family is visiting the whole apartment is utilised, whilst at other times they can be rented out as separate self-contained units ensuring that the property's investment potential is always maximised.

Additionally, for clients buying multiple units the developer is able to

offer a discount of 1% on the second unit and 2% on the third.

Did you know all ground floor units with gardens in The Dunes come with pre-installation for a Jacuzzi tub in the garden? These units will offer strong rental potential since the majority of visitors to Tunisia tend to be couples with young children or retirees.

The government is also very strict on the developers/builders and all client monies are kept in Escrow accounts and released in small increments to the developers/builders (This is the law in Tunisia). This ensures your money is very safe and in one of the largest banks in Tunisia.

Purpose built around a picturesque marina which now draws luxury yachts from all over the world, Port El Kantaoui opened in 1979 and has been Tunisia's most outstandingly successful tourist centre. With the look and feel of an elite residential district, it is the second home of the President, top politicians, diplomats and the fabulously wealthy. Millions of dinars have been poured into landscaping, with palm trees, shrubs and grass borders immaculately lining every road.

The resort's hotels are equally sparkling; whitewashed palaces with terraced gardens awash with bougainvillaea. Port El Kantaoui'spride and joy are its beautifully manicured 18-hole championship golf courses. There are no membership requirements and while golfers with their own equipment are welcome, whose who prefer to travel light can rent everything they need from clubs to caddies at very reasonable rates. Dubbed as Tunisia's Puerto Banus, Port El Kantaoui is the most exclusive of Tunisia's resorts situated only minutes along from Sousse and 30 minsfrom Monastir.

MINIMUM 6% Rental Guarantee

A unique, one of a kind development such as The Dunes Golf and Spa resort is well positioned to benefit from some of the highest rental premiums available in Tunisia. We are so convinced in the rental potential of the Dunes that each property is offered with a GUARANTEED MINIMUM Rental Income of 6% in the first year. Since rental yields on the Dunes have been independently estimated to reach as high as 22% this structure offers clients potential to capitalize on much higher rental returns, whilst safely knowing that a minimum return will always be guaranteed.

An independent rental assessment has been carried out on the Dunes by the UK based rental management company, Wellplaced Apartments. Their estimates on achievable yields vary from 12% to 20% depending on the apartment type in the resort.

Investors therefore have the following choices at their disposal upon completion:

Option 1 (Security) ? Enter into the rental guarantee contract which will pay you a MINIMUM of 6% gross rental income for the rental of your apartment in the first year. The requirements are that a furniture pack such as the Silver package is taken up and that all furniture is installed prior to commencement of your rental income. Additionally with this option, there is no personal usage allowed since the investment is geared towards making maximum rental income.

OR

Option 2 (Lifestyle Choice) ? This option appeals to those who plan on using the property as a holiday home, with the addition of rental possibilities. Conditions are minimal and properties can be rented with or without furniture on short or longer term rents. This option also allows you to use your property whenever you wish as long as enough notice is given to the rental agent.
