GLOBAL LIVING

Why Portugal?

Portugal combines a mild climate, a long Atlantic coastline and an international community. The points below are the ones buyers ask about most.

Lisbon Waterfront and Horizon
Lisbon, 40 to 50 minutes from the villas outside peak hours.

Healthcare

Hospital da Luz Setúbal (private) and Hospital de São Bernardo (public) serve the Setúbal area.

Residency

Residency and citizenship rules depend on each buyer's nationality and situation. We can introduce you to independent immigration advisers.

Tax Residency

The NHR regime closed to new applicants in 2024. A more limited regime (IFICI) exists. Tax depends on each buyer's residency; US citizens remain subject to US tax on worldwide income. Take independent tax advice before buying.

Education

International schooling in the Palmela area (St. Peter's International School, IGCSE and IB) and in the Lisbon area.

Safety & Community

Portugal ranked 7th in the Global Peace Index 2025 (Institute for Economics & Peace).

Strategic Location & Connectivity

Lisbon Airport is about 55 km from the villas, ~45 minutes by car via highway link and the Vasco da Gama Bridge.
