Villa Arade
A rare opportunity at the mouth of the Arade: 260,811 m² of land with direct frontage to Portimão Marina and the river, a short walk from Praia da Rocha.
The approved lotting plan, for tourism and residential use, divides the site into 21 buildable lots of up to three floors above ground, set within public parkland, a riverside promenade and an events square.
More than half of the land (143,075 m²) is ceded for public use, including a 3.3 ha urban park, which gives every lot a green, open setting. Unit numbers in the plan are maximums, not obligations: the full floor area can be delivered as fewer, larger premium homes.
