Branded MGallery (Accor) residences within the MontAzure master plan above Kamala beach
MGallery Residences MontAzure Lakeside is a branded condo residence managed by the MGallery hotel network (part of Accor), inside the large MontAzure master plan on the hillside above Kamala beach. The project comprises around 227 studio and 1-bedroom units across 39 low-rise buildings of 2–6 storeys, grouped around the quarter’s artificial lakes. Construction is proceeding in phases: some buildings (Lake 1) are already complete, and the final Lake Hill phase is expected to finish around the second quarter of 2026 — finishing works are currently underway on site.
The economics: entry starts from ~$302,400, making this one of the more affordable options within the MontAzure master plan, which also includes the pricier, fully completed Twinpalms Residences. The difference reflects both readiness stage and unit mix: nothing here is larger than a 1-bedroom unit, while Twinpalms offers a broader range of formats right on the water. Pricing varies noticeably across units depending on floor and view — lake, garden or mountain; units have no direct sea view, and it is about a 370-metre walk to Kamala beach.
The key difference from most off-plan condos on the island is freehold status with no accompanying land-leasehold structure, which is somewhat unusual for a branded residence at this level, and management by the international hotel operator MGallery — not a local management company, but part of the Accor network with its own service standards and name recognition when renting out the unit.
The rental model here is two-tier. The first three years after handover, the developer offers a guaranteed income of around 6% per year — a fixed payout regardless of actual occupancy. After the guarantee period ends, the model shifts to a standard rental pool with a 40/60 profit split in favour of the management company and the owner respectively. This is a common structure for branded residences, but it means that after year three the real yield becomes market-driven, depending on how well the area and the complex itself fill with tourists — and the guarantee no longer applies at that stage.
The MontAzure master plan as a whole is one of the few on the west coast built around a “mountain to sea” concept: besides MGallery Lakeside, it includes Twinpalms Residences, the branded InterContinental residences, the Café del Mar beach club, and commercial development. A buyer is entering not an isolated project but a growing ecosystem with several hotel brands nearby — a plus for location recognition, but also a source of competition for tenants between buildings from different phases.
Who it fits: an investor who wants a compact, affordably priced entry into a recognisable international hotel brand with a guaranteed income at launch, and who can live without walking distance to the beach and a limited unit mix (studios and 1-bedroom only). Anyone who needs larger formats or direct beach access should compare with Twinpalms Residences within the same master plan.
Our job as an agency is to source a specific unit with a clear floor and view, verify the exact construction stage of the building and the remaining payment schedule, clarify the terms of the transition from the guaranteed income to the rental pool after year three, and support the deal from reservation to registration. The developer pays the commission — the buyer’s price does not change.

Kamala Beach Resort and Hotel Management — the developer of the entire MontAzure master plan above Kamala beach. MGallery (an Accor brand) is the residence management operator, not the developer.
The project is delivered in phases: some buildings are already complete, with the final Lake Hill phase expected around Q2 2026. Finishing works are currently underway on site.
Units are sold as freehold — without the land leasehold structure typical of villa projects on the island.
The first three years after handover carry a developer-guaranteed income of around 6% per year — a fixed payout regardless of actual occupancy. After that period the model shifts to a standard rental pool with a 40/60 profit split in favour of the management company and the owner respectively. This is a common structure for branded residences, but it means that after year three the real yield becomes market-driven and depends on how well the area and the complex fill up — the guarantee no longer applies at that stage.
Both are part of the same MontAzure master plan, but Twinpalms is an earlier, fully completed (2020) phase with direct beach access, while MGallery Lakeside is newer, further from the water, more compact in unit mix (studios and 1-bedroom only), and carries a guaranteed launch yield from the MGallery brand.
