Property Information for Portugal
Intro: Surprisingly, Portugal has so far missed out on Europe's housing boom - which has led many industry observers to conclude that it offers some of the best prospects on the continent. With no restrictions on foreign property ownership in Portugal, and generally low transaction costs, Portugal is beginning to attract more investors. At the same time, a major tourism push over the next couple of years, a new airport planned near Lisbon, and an increasing number of flights are making it a more popular holiday destination.
English is widely spoken by this traditional ally of Britain, but Portugal is proud of its cultural heritage - seen in its pristinely restored palaces and castles. Boasting the first vineyard in Europe, and numerous wine regions, it combines a fertile landscape with some stunning beach resorts.
PRAIA D'EL REY
Praia D'el Rey, or 'the King's beach', on the Silver Coast is a highly acclaimed World Class beachside golf and spa resort recently voted the number one in Portugal and number thirteen worldwide by a leading golf magazine. Its five star Marriott hotel is now open and is situated right on the ocean.
Praia D'el Rey Golf and Country Club is a clever mix of leisure facilities and real estate, beautifully landscaped to complement the surrounding countryside. This 600-acre beachfront resort is set in natural pine woodland surrounded by sandy beaches. Located near the historic town of Obidos, it is less than half an hour's drive from Lisbon International Airport via the A8 motorway system. Low cost airlines flying into Lisbon include Easyjet and Monarch, together with BA and TAP.
Golf at Praia D'el Rey
The Praia D'el Rey course was designed by the renowned American golf architect, Cabell B. Robinson - with deep bunkers, sloping greens and sandy borders contrasting sharply with the lush fairways. It is the ultimate golfing challenge, not only on the Silver Coast but throughout the rest of Portugal and possibly Europe as well. Owners currently enjoy membership for a modest annual fee with no further green fees to pay. The resort has a golf and tennis academy, volleyball and handball course and FIFA football pitch and facilities that are used frequently by Portugal's national side and other visiting teams and clubs.
Living at Praia D'el Rey
Promising an idyllic lifestyle for permanent residents, holidaymakers and visitors - with stunning views of the ocean and the golf course - the resort boasts a variety of low-rise apartments, townhouses and luxury villas. Whether you are buying for lifestyle or investment, or a little of both, this is probably the most sought after address on the Silver Coast.
Owners at Praia D'el Rey have seen substantial capital growth and the current Vila da Praia promises similar if not better returns. Now is the time to invest in property at Praia D'el Rey on Portugal's Silver Coast.
