What Is Planned
The beach will feature a man-made lake designed to create a beach-like environment. Officials say it will be more than just sand and water. The project will include:
- Floating villas and star-category hotels for accommodation
- Adventure sports such as bungee jumping, sailing, skating, and winter games
- Family-friendly zones with parks, cycling tracks, and playgrounds
- Leisure and entertainment areas, including food courts, theatres, decorative fountains, and a wave pool
The goal is to provide Hyderabad residents with a complete weekend getaway without leaving the city.
Why Kotwal Guda
Kotwal Guda was chosen for its proximity to the Outer Ring Road, offering easy access and room for large-scale development. Authorities have also emphasised that environmental safeguards will be a key part of the project, ensuring eco-friendly construction.
Tourism Vision
Telangana State Tourism Development Corporation (TSTDC) Chairman Patel Ramesh Reddy said the detailed project report has been finalised. International firms have already shown interest in investing beyond the initial ₹225 crore.
Ramesh Reddy added that Telangana’s untapped tourism potential exceeds ₹15,000 crore, covering heritage sites, forts, and eco-tourism destinations. He said the artificial beach will be a flagship project aimed at putting Hyderabad on the global tourism map.
Why It Matters
For years, Hyderabad residents have travelled to Andhra Pradesh’s Suryalanka Beach to enjoy the sea. Once completed, the artificial beach will allow locals and tourists to experience beach activities within the city itself. It is expected to combine relaxation, adventure, and leisure, making Hyderabad a new weekend and tourism destination.
