Quintas de Obidos - Silver Coast, Portugal
Located on Portugal's Silver Coast, 80km from Lisbon, Quintas de
Óbidos is a new and exclusive development incorporating 79
luxurious villas each within private grounds. The resort plan
was conceived by WATG (Wimberly, Allison, Tong and Goo), and
sets very high standards of quality and luxury.
There are 16 styles of villa, each set in approx. 1.3 acres
(5,200 m2) of private gardens and grounds, planted with olive
trees, Jacarandas and pine trees. The villas are designed to
reflect their Portuguese heritage, and each incorporates an
average of 8,500 sq ft (800 m2) of living space.
The exceptional facilities will include an Equestrian Centre
designed by the world's number one lady show jumper, Jessica
Kürten, as well as an exclusive Country Club with a wide range
of amenities, including a restaurant and spa, two swimming
pools, two tennis courts, a sports pitch and a children's play
area.
The championship golf course at Bom Sucesso designed by Donald
Steel is situated just a few hundred yards from the entrance of
the resort where residents will receive special conditions for
membership, green fees and buggy rental.

Development Information
Quintas de Óbidos has been carefully planned so that it has
minimal impact on the environment, integrating with the glorious
surrounding nature. A series of fresh water lakes are being
incorporated within the landscape to provide natural wildlife
habitats. The development will also benefit from extensive
walkways which snake around the borders of the lakes.
Quintas de Óbidos is situated close to the Óbidos Lagoon, one of
the most desirable locations of the Silver Coast, a short
distance from the medieval town of Óbidos.
