Silves, Portugal – 28 August 2024
A new and exciting development is emerging in southern Portugal, offering a seamless blend of sustainable living and modern luxury. Located in the tranquil hills of Silves, deep in the Algarve countryside, Echo Valley provides an idyllic escape for those seeking both serenity and sophistication. With a strong focus on sustainability and an unwavering respect for its natural surroundings, Echo Valley promises a lifestyle that balances style, comfort, and conscious living.
Silves and the Algarve
Silves, a historic town in the Algarve, provides the perfect backdrop for this nature-centred project. Known for its rich history, Silves is famous for its striking red sandstone castle and picturesque whitewashed buildings. The town, once the Moorish capital of the Algarve, is situated on the banks of the Arade River and is surrounded by lush orange groves that give it the nickname ‘Orange Capital’. The area is a trove of culture and history, with a year-round calendar of festivals and events that attract both locals and visitors.
Echo Valley is located in rolling hills just 2 kilometres northwest of Silves’ town centre, making it well served by amenities while still providing the tranquillity of the Algarve countryside. The development spans 60 hectares of undulating land, offering stunning views and proximity to some of the Algarve’s most beautiful beaches, including those of Carvoeiro and Armação de Pêra, a 30-minute drive away.
Sustainable living in Echo Valley
Echo Valley’s design and infrastructure are rooted in sustainability. The development features 154 modern villas, each with its own private heated pool, all designed to minimise environmental impact while maximising comfort and style. These homes are equipped with energy-saving technologies, including green roofs, solar panels, and advanced heat recovery systems. The use of renewable solutions is a core principle of the project, ensuring that each villa is as respectful of the environment as it is aesthetically pleasing.
In addition to private residences, Echo Valley will offer a range of communal amenities designed to enhance the quality of life for its residents. These include communal gardens and orchards, an on-site restaurant that sources fresh, local produce, a co-working space and a fleet of electric vehicles available for rent to promote low-carbon mobility.
This development not only offers luxurious, stylish homes but also fosters a sense of community and a deep admiration for the natural environment. Construction is set to begin in late 2024.
Over the past decade, property values across Portugal have seen an average annual increase of 4% to 6%. In highly desirable regions such as Lisbon, Porto, and the Algarve—especially in top-tier neighbourhoods and luxury markets—this appreciation has often reached 6% to over 8% per year, with trends suggesting this growth will persist.
