Alma Do Mar Luxury Villas
What sets our luxury villas apart is not just the stunning location, contemporary design and our development philosophy, it's our unique story and vision.
Our Story
Several years ago, the owners of Medcentres PLC, one of the leading UK providers of healthcare facilities, identified a 35-acre site on which to develop a Health & Wellness resort in Lagos. During the negotiations to acquire this site an opportunity arose to purchase another parcel of land which was ideally located for the owners to build a family Villa. The land was situated in an elevated position just behind Meia Praia beach and adjacent to Palmares Golf and Beach resort. The only slight problem was that the land had an area of over 5 hectares which was too much even for a wonderful second home.
However, the opportunity was too good to miss. The owners therefore bought the land and applied to the council to split the land into 11 generous sized plots to enable others to enjoy the views and proximity to the beach and all the facilities that Lagos has to offer. Full planning permission was granted a couple of years ago and all the local infrastructures have now been completed.
Each plot has great views of the sea with Lagos just beyond. The beach, local restaurants and the Golf Club are all within a reasonable walking distance. The Marina and Lagos are but a short drive away and Faro airport can be reached within an hour.
The owners are very protective of the development and resolved to entrust the designs to one of Europe’s leading contemporary Architects, Mario Martins who is co-incidentally a native of Lagos. The fact that Mario has designed all of the homes will ensure the integrity of the design language and protect the views of the individual homes. It can be strongly argued that the completed development will be the most prestigious of its kind in the Western Algarve.
As of June 2024, we have just one project remaining. We will commence construction in the coming weeks, with completion set for the summer of 2025. Therefore, at this moment in time, clients will have an opportunity to add their personal touches to the materials and finishes, with a lesser opportunity available to also make minor changes to the internal layout.
