Palmares Beach & Golf Resort Palmares Beach & Golf Resort is a development inspired by the philosophy of good living, in a integrated resort of golf, luxury tourism and residential properties supported by 5-star hotel services in an exclusive location. Bordering the estuary of Ria de Alvor and the end of Meia Praia beach, Palmares Resort offers one of the last opportunities in Portugal to build property at a resort within walking distance to the beach.
Dream views The natural shape of the land is that of an amphitheatre, descending from 70m to sea level, from which you enjoy 180-degree panoramic views. These views take in the estuary, the ocean and the bay of Lagos, in front of which is set the magnificent golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones II, the renowned American golf architect. The water and sky create stunning shades of blue and green which change according to the tides of the estuary. Boats, kite-surfers and an immense variety of birds complement this celebration of nature. The scene is breath-taking and one of the most beautiful locations in the Algarve.
In harmony with nature The planning, construction and operating principles of Palmares are in harmony with the overriding principle of environmental sustainability. Of the total 191 hectares (471 acres) that comprise Palmares Beach & Golf Resort, the density of construction is no more than 5.7 percent. Likewise, the landscape architecture guidelines are focused on preserving the natural environment and safeguarding the unique views.
Real estate strategy The building work is organized in different phases, based on a smooth growth strategy. This approach is adaptable to the pace of the market and is focused on maintaining a pleasant atmosphere for the property owners avoiding too much obtrusive building noise. At Palmares, we have introduced an attractive start-up pricing policy on real estate. This strategy has been adopted in order to reward early buyers. So far, our prices have been slowly increasing as the development grows, so purchasing at this stage could turn out to be a great investment over time. Palmares comprises 120 plots and a maximum of 645 accommodation units. Besides the 103 plots for villas, the resort includes 12 larger plots for clusters of apartments or townhouses. The plan also includes two hotels, one already open with 20 rooms, and a second one planned with a limit of 152 rooms. The plan also includes a retail area and a sports and leisure facility.
