Oceânico Group, the leading Algarve-based resort and golf owner-operator, announces the release of homes at its three renowned resorts in the region – the Amendoeira Golf Resort, Belmar Spa & Beach Resort and Baía da Luz.

After a halt on property sales due to the global economic crisis, the Algarve and Portugal are showing significant signs of recovery. Over the last 18 months, a low supply and increasing demand has meant that prices are starting to rise.

The number of UK residents interested in buying a holiday or retirement home overseas has increased dramatically over the past year. 

To gain insight into which of the three countries most popular with buyers holds the best potential for both value and investment, Meravista.com has conducted a property market analysis of France and Spain against the Algarve region of Portugal. The results show that the Algarve is the better choice in both regards for the year 2015.

Salema, near Lagos, is one of the maritime secrets of Portugal according to The Telegraph which again highlights a region of the Algarve as a holiday destination.

In an article published this Wednesday, the reporter Mary Lussiana praised Salema and the surrounding area:

If we offered this two-bedroom apartment for sale on Meravista.com for €1.4m, you’d be forgiven for thinking we were having a laugh.

The first and most striking feature of this house, apart from the extremely spacious grounds, is its elliptical shape. This was however, the object of detailed parameters and study during its design and conception.

It has modern, sensual and timeless lines, so as not to be outmoded by linear, eventually monotonous shapes.

It might seem like a lot to ask, but there's no need to book that round the world ticket, as it turns out that Europe has it all this summer!

With a new study from Aviva revealing that the average UK child costs their parents £35,000 by the time they reach the age of five, many families will be looking for affordable holiday options, yet not wanting to compromise on the quality of the vacation experience.
