If you’ve driven up the northern highway lately, you’ve probably felt the shift. The gorgeous stretch of coast linking Byblos to Batroun, passing right through Berbara, Thoum, and Kfaraabida, is officially having a major moment.
At OCCA, we track where the smart money is moving, and right now, all signs point here. Thanks to forward-thinking municipalities and a clean, green vibe, this area is transforming into a year-round destination.
Here is why it's time to pay attention.
While some coastal towns feel crowded, Berbara is focusing on lifestyle. The municipality just rolled out a 2KM dedicated bike and safe lane, perfect for a morning jog, a sunset bike ride, or cruising on an electric scooter.
The village is packed with reasons to stay:
The hospitality scene here is booming with character. Think of places like Beit El Berbara (their 150-year-old stone "Meeraya" house is pure luxury). With premium properties managed by StayINN and high-end AirBnBs popping up across Berbara, Thoum and Kfaraabida, visitors are flocking here through Spring, Summer, Autumn, and even the crisp winter months.
Infrastructure drives value. With clean beaches, active local councils, and a gorgeous landscape, the Byblos-to-Batroun corridor is the ultimate "sweet spot."
Buying a piece of land or a house here now is the best move you can make before prices inevitably climb. It’s not just a real estate investment; it’s a lifestyle upgrade.
