What to know before choosing a home
Tamaraya uses distinct residential building categories. The developer describes Type A two-bedroom homes of 128–133 sqm, Type B one- and two-bedroom chalets of 87–132 sqm, Type C two- and three-bedroom signature homes of 137–164 sqm, and a wider townhouse, loft and penthouse selection. These published ranges help narrow the search, but the approved plan for the exact unit controls its dimensions.

01
Type A apartments: a two-bedroom option
According to Grounds Developments' project information, Type A consists of two-bedroom apartments with published areas around 128–133 sqm. That makes this format a relevant shortlist for couples who want a separate room, small families or owners planning longer stays. The deciding factors are the actual internal proportions, outdoor area, position within the block and relation to the shared landscape.
Compare available Type A floor plans carefully. A living area facing the garden can feel very different from a layout whose main outlook is towards another residential block. Confirm balcony dimensions and whether the area in the marketing material is gross, saleable or net usable floor space.
- Two-bedroom floor-plan distribution
- Balcony outlook, width and orientation
- Access to lifts, stairs and parking
- Finishing specification and maintenance liability
02
Type B chalets: compact to mid-sized coastal homes
The developer's Type B range covers one- and two-bedroom chalets of approximately 87–132 sqm. This makes it a natural starting point for buyers seeking a smaller South Hurghada base without selecting a standalone villa. A one-bedroom unit can simplify occasional stays; two bedrooms can support a couple with guests or a family requiring greater flexibility.
Do not treat a chalet label as a promise of direct beach frontage. Tamaraya is marketed as a coastal community with road access to the Red Sea, and each Type B unit must be evaluated for its actual aspect, outdoor access and distance to shared amenities.
- Usable area and balcony or patio size
- True relation to pools and green spaces
- Views and daylight during different seasons
- Access and recurring operating costs
03
Type C signature residences: more room for extended stays
Type C is described as a set of two- and three-bedroom signature residences around 137–164 sqm. More bedrooms and larger common areas can be useful for families living at Tamaraya for much of the year, but actual space planning still varies from home to home. An efficient two-bedroom layout can sometimes feel more comfortable than a poorly arranged larger one.
Look beyond floor area to privacy, storage, kitchen workflow, stairs and access to outdoor areas. Ask whether rooms suit their intended use and whether the selected plan is approved for that building and phase.
- Separate family and guest spaces
- Bedroom and storage dimensions
- Orientation and neighbour sightlines
- Exact finishing and delivery stage
04
Townhouses, lofts and penthouses: compare the real configuration
The developer also describes multi-level housing that includes townhouses, lofts and penthouses, with a published wider size range of roughly 88–189 sqm depending on the format. These names cover different layouts rather than one standard product. A townhouse can offer separation between living and sleeping areas, while a penthouse may offer a different type of elevated outdoor space.
Check who owns or controls roof terraces, whether internal stairs are practical, what is included in the total area and what additional maintenance obligations come with exclusive outdoor space. Ask for the unit code and signed plan instead of assuming all homes in the category match the show images.
- Private terraces and roof rights
- Number of floors and entrances
- Maintenance of outdoor areas
- Guest access, storage and parking
05
Area measurements: why 133 sqm may not feel the same in every plan
An advertised area can be measured on different conventions. Gross or saleable area may include allocations that are not part of the clear internal space where furniture fits. Tamaraya's published ranges are useful for filtering available residence formats, but they are not a replacement for a dimensioned layout that separates interior rooms from terraces or shared circulation.
When comparing Type A, B and C proposals, request the same definition of area for each. If two plans have similar numbers, compare living room width, kitchen usability, circulation, bedroom storage and the number of bathrooms. An efficient layout may be more comfortable even when the headline area is smaller.
06
Why the building position is as important as the type letter
A Type B chalet close to a pool and a Type B chalet on a quieter edge of the masterplan can offer different ownership experiences. The same applies to Type A apartments and larger Type C residences. Check the relationship between the unit's windows, outdoor spaces, pedestrian paths, neighbouring balconies and the clubhouse.
For an extended-stay home, consider morning and afternoon sunlight and ease of reaching a car or taxi. For a holiday base, ask how the building will be secured while vacant. Mark the specific home on the developer's latest plan so that a branded type label does not become a substitute for practical detail.
07
Why floor level and stairs change the right choice
A ground-level chalet can feel quite different from a penthouse, loft or multi-level townhouse even when the advertised room count is similar. Think about the route from parking, accessibility for older relatives, carrying shopping, and whether bedrooms and bathrooms are arranged on one or several levels. A dramatic terrace or roof area may be attractive while still being impractical for some residents.
The first comparison should use approved floor plans showing all levels. Ask the seller to identify any stairs inside the home, the lift arrangement in the building and which terrace or roof spaces are private. Check whether the quoted area combines enclosed space with outdoor space. The best Tamaraya layout is the one that serves the actual household without creating avoidable daily obstacles.
08
Choosing a bedroom count based on real occupancy
The Tamaraya Type A, B and C labels cover different room counts and size ranges, but neither a large square-metre number nor an additional bedroom automatically delivers a better home. Two-bedroom buyers should decide whether the second room will be used for children, overnight guests or regular work. A three-bedroom family may value storage and circulation as much as the third sleeping space.
Before comparing the developer's published ranges, sketch the furniture you intend to bring. Check kitchen workspace, dining capacity, bathroom access, laundry needs and privacy between bedroom and social areas. If frequent relatives or rental guests are expected, ask how the community's visitor and amenity policies apply. This turns a broad residence type into a practical selection process.
09
A simple way to compare two Tamaraya unit plans
Place the two plans at the same scale and mark furniture, door swings, storage and any corridors that cannot be used for living. Next, identify every outdoor area and check whether it is part of the unit, a private-use space or communal. This prevents a balcony, roof terrace or garden on a rendering from being mistaken for an included property feature.
Finally, put the exact quoted price, delivery date and finishing specification beside each plan. A larger unit is not necessarily a better fit if it requires inconvenient stairs or has a layout that wastes internal space. Ask for the current approved plans, rather than relying on the published Type A, B and C size ranges alone.
