CENTURION IN FOCUS CENTURION IN FOCUS Spatia Melides residences amid the sand and greenery of the Hamptons of Portugal DISCOVERING HIDDEN GEMS Three new red-hot global residential destinations THE HAMPTONS OF PORTUGAL There is no hotter market right now than the 30km stretch of pristine coastline between Comporta and Melides, otherwise known as the Hamptons of Portugal. A 90-minute drive south of Lisbon, the boho-chic fishing villages and rigorously protected beaches have been wowing the in-crowd for some time – they used to hole up for a few weeks in bijou hotels, but now they are buying multimillion-euro holiday homes. The latest scheme to come on stream is Spatia Melides (spatiaresidences.com), a secluded, 170ha retreat on which a collection of 23 two- and threebedroom residences and 60 large four-bedroom villas with direct access to Pinheirinho beach are being built. This is a low-density affair – the 600sq m estate villas have gardens ranging in size from one to six hectares. Amanjunkies will recognise the distinctly contemporary architectural ethos, with mirror pools framing the entrances, spacious interiors in natural tones with high ceilings, and sliding glass walls leading to expansive terraces that encourage an indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Private infinity pools, sun decks and outdoor fire pits afford views of the spreading cork oaks and olive groves that make up the timeless Alentejo landscape. It’s all very Zen. Houses on this stretch of coastline must be two kilometres from the sea, so residents will walk, cycle or take a buggy through the secluded dunes to the beach. A small luxe hotel and club will feature a 25m pool, spa, three restaurants, tennis and padel courts, 24-hour concierge, housekeeping and security service as well as an onsite deli and beauty salon. An organic farm will provide fresh produce to the whole imaginative enterprise. Just a five-minute drive away, another luxe project, further along construction-wise, is CostaTerra (costaterraclub.com), a Discovery Land (DL) golf-course-based community of 300-plus homes with particular appeal to Americans. DL already has over 20 ultra-high-end developments in North America, but this is its and golf maestro Tom Fazio’s first foray into Europe. Despite prices double those at Spatia Melides for equivalent-sized villas, the emphasis on family, wellness and informality, combined with stratospherically high-quality sporting and social amenities, is proving to be a winning formula which indeed suits the Melides vibe perfectly. Elsewhere in Portugal, down in the Algarve, Quinta do Lago (quintadolago.com) is launching three new schemes later this year. The 13 North PHOTO © SAVILLS 120 CENTURION-MAGAZINE.COM
