Dye, one of the world’s most influential golf course designers, Clubhouse and Lake Club, Commercial and Restaurant areas and a Large 48,000 m2 lake for water activities.
Or, check out the stunning Poseidonia Residences in Cana Bay, where one-bedroom apartments start at $179,000, and luxury three-bedroom apartments start at $355,000. Buyers at Poseidonia Residences have access to a 830 m long pool that runs through the entire project; Social club with areas for a restaurant, gym, bar/café; and pool bar and other Cana Bay experiences such as Beach Club, Golf Course, Hard Rock Racquet Club, Oro Night Club & Casino.
