Tourist Developments in the Comporta-Melides Greater Area

Portugal has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. In recent years, the country has attracted numerous real estate investors, both domestic and international, who have taken advantage of its competitive prices, tax benefits, and high quality of life.

The municipality of Grândola, located in the Alentejo region, is a highly sought-after area for tourists and the real estate market.

It is home to the renowned resorts of Comporta and Melides, which offer unspoiled beaches, natural reserves, golf courses, luxury restaurants, and exclusive accommodations.

Over the last decade, these resorts have experienced significant growth in tourism and real estate, attracting high-profile individuals such as Madonna, Christian Louboutin, and Philippe Starck, who have made them their home. The area is popular with high-end clients who seek to escape the chaos of the big cities and enjoy a pristine natural landscape with top-notch services. 

In 2010, when I decided to buy land halfway between Comporta, to the north, and Melides, to the south,

there was only one 4-bedroom hotel in the area, Casas na Areia. By Aires Mateus, this small project represented Portugal at the Venice Architecture Biennale.

Otherwise, there were just a few fishermen's and farmers' bars and some typical, modest "tabernas" where you could eat excellent local fish.

Today, the area between Comporta and Melides, in the municipality of Grândola, has a long list of upscale restaurants, bars, beach clubs, and recreational activities available.

and a multitude of tourism projects, already operational or in progress, of which 27 are large and very large and represent a total investment of 4 billion euros, excluding the important number of small and medium-sized projects.

The area in question totals approximately 3,300 hectares, and primarily high and very high-end properties will be built and placed on the market.

Below is the complete list.

In this dynamic and upscale real estate environment, I am selling my property.

It's a land measuring 8,2 hectares,

a 124 m2 house,

a barn of 60 m2,

and the possibility of building an additional 376 m2 for residential use, totaling a maximum of 500 m2.

The project is also awaiting a license for a construction permit for a Rural Hotel, covering an additional 1,662 m², with approval expected within 6 to 12 months from June 1, 2024.

Asking Price €3,150,000.

A thorough land-clearing operation has just been completed. 

I have cleared 95% of the eucalyptus and maritime pine trees, ensuring complete root removal. The land has been thoroughly cleaned and leveled with a harrow, resulting in a broader, more open landscape. The final appearance offers a spacious and expansive view, perfectly prepared to accommodate any master plan you envision.

This clearing operation is being conducted in line with the master plan for the rural hotel project, which is currently awaiting licensing. The aim is to prepare the land for potential buyers interested in developing a rural tourism venture (TER) by offering a clean, ready-to-build site for the planned construction.

At the following link, you will find the photographic documentation of the work done.
