Shams Soma Area and Master Plan
The master plan covers about 340,000 m² and includes more than 600 residential units on a coastal frontage of up to 700 meters.
The design focuses on reducing building density and leaving open spaces between homes. Façades and terraces face the sea or natural scenery, with paths linking the units to the beach and the services.
Not all homes enjoy the same degree of view; one unit may sit on the direct frontage, while another has a partial view or overlooks the gardens.

Shams Soma Units
The project offers 4 main categories of homes:
Shams Soma Villas
The villas provide the highest level of privacy in the project, with independent entrances, gardens and reception areas suited to long family stays.
Villas differ in built-up and plot area, number of bedrooms and closeness to the shore. The sales team clarifies the net garden area compared with the building area, especially if the unit includes terraces or a swimming pool.
Semi-Detached Homes
This category consists of two adjoining homes, each with its own entrance and outdoor space. It offers a middle ground between the chalet and the detached villa, with more family space and privacy than units inside apartment buildings.
Shams Soma Chalets
The chalets serve those who want a home that is easier to manage and furnish, with the option to choose between different floors and views. The building's position relative to the beach, the swimming pools and the social areas affects price and use.
Loft Units
Loft units rely on a more open interior design and contemporary ceiling heights or layouts. They suit those who prefer a coastal home different from the traditional chalet, making the most of light and views.

Architectural Design
The designs orient the living spaces toward the terraces and the open air, with glazed openings that let in natural light. The homes use calm architectural lines that suit the character of the Red Sea, without excess height or building density.
The outdoor space differs by unit type; a villa may come with a garden and a swimming pool, while a chalet or loft relies more on the terrace and the view.

The Marakez and Soma Bay Partnership
Shams Soma brings together Marakez's experience in developing and operating mixed-use communities and Soma Bay's experience in managing tourist destinations on the Red Sea.
This collaboration gives the project a connection to the services already in Soma Bay, instead of building a separate resort that would need years to reach the same level of operation.
