The Algarve

Corte Velho’s unique selling point is not only the location within secluded nature, but also the location within the Algarve.

The site benefits from the established and popular tourism area, but for those looking for something more special it offers seclusion away from the prominent hotels and golf courses throughout the rest of the Algarve.

The Algarve's tourism income was over one billion euros in 2018, up by 4.7% compared to 2017. The number of visitors rose by 1.5% to 4.2 million guests.

Corte Velho

On the Portuguese and Spanish border lies 130 hectares of rugged and unspoilt land.

The beautiful remains of the old farms overlook the Rio Guadiana, and the high areas allow stunning views across the landscape to see plentiful cork trees, wildlife, and Spain in the distance.

Approved planning permission for the construction of 3 hotels and 124 residences, will allow guests to enjoy these unique and special surroundings, accompanied by luxurious spas and delightful restaurants.
