It is a so-called heaven for rich people to enjoy their weekends without interruptions. The luxurious area is restricted to the common public, and security guards are constantly guarding the area.
The resort has palm tree-linked roads in the golf carts as the workers maintain the yachts, the landscaping and the businesses inside.

The six-floor tower is designed in the structure of the yacht facing south toward the sea, and some reports state that the estimated maintenance cost is around $ 20,000.
