Returning to Portugal is a growing desire among many expats. Whether it’s about reconnecting with family, improving quality of life or coming back to your roots, the journey home requires planning — and clarity.
One of the most important decisions is where and how to live. At Palmares, you can return to Portugal with the peace of mind of having a fully completed home, ready to welcome this new chapter — with no stress, no construction, and no delays.
The right time to return starts with the right decision
Many expats dream of returning but postpone the decision due to time, distance or uncertainty. Having a move-in ready home in a location that combines nature, comfort and accessibility can make that dream feel closer and simpler.
At Palmares, near Lagos, you’ll find ready-to-live-in apartments and fully licensed plots — all within a low-density resort with ocean views, a golf course and year-round infrastructure.
Why choose a move-in ready home instead of building?
Time, distance and bureaucracy are major challenges for those living abroad. Choosing a finished home at Palmares avoids long construction timelines and lets you focus on what matters: planning your return, managing the transition and adjusting to a new pace of life in Portugal.
All available properties are designed by the award-winning RCR Arquitectes studio, with premium finishes and full integration with the natural surroundings.
Earn income while you prepare to move back
If your return is still a few years away, your investment can already start working for you. Palmares offers fully managed short-term rental services, so your property can generate income while being cared for professionally — even in your absence.
It’s the ideal solution for securing your home, keeping it maintained and turning it into a source of passive income until you’re ready to return.
A strategic location, a peaceful lifestyle
Living at Palmares means being close to everything — without being in the middle of it. Just 10 minutes from Lagos and around 1 hour from Faro Airport, with access to healthcare, schools, shops and daily services. All with ocean views, natural landscapes and a 27-hole golf course just outside your door.
A calm and secure return home
Returning to Portugal doesn’t need to be stressful. With a move-in ready home at Palmares, everything is prepared for a smooth transition — without delays, complications or uncertainty. Just comfort, clarity and a life ready to begin.
