We are excited to announce the launch of an exciting new luxury development, Silves Hills, currently taking shape in the central Algarve countryside. Based on a concept that embraces sustainability, local heritage and luxury lifestyle, this bold project organically meshes striking design with environmental awareness.

Located just 2km from the heart of the historic city of Silves, on the banks of the Arade River, Silves Hills is a premium resort set against the backdrop of the authentic rural Algarve.

Situated 40 km west of Faro Airport, within a 30-minute drive of nearby cities including Albufeira, Portimão, and Carvoeiro on the coast, the location is well-served by local amenities, including private and public schools, local recreational facilities, bars and restaurants and public transport options.

An exceptional concept

Silves Hills sprawls over 60 hectares of hillside and features 154 contemporary 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom villas, with each also featuring an office that can double as an extra bedroom. All villas are designed for year-round comfort and stylish eco-living, each with a private heated pool, and carefully positioned on the hillside to maximise views and privacy. The community will benefit from electric vehicle rental options and pre-installed EV chargers, enhancing eco-friendly living.

Sustainable living

Emphasising sustainability, the development incorporates renewable materials and energy-efficient technologies. The villas will feature concrete ceilings for thermal insulation, green roofs, solar protection triple-glazing windows, and advanced heat pump systems. The design prioritises low carbon footprints and resource conservation, including green roofs and energy recovery systems.

Community and environment

Silves Hills merges into its natural surroundings with native vegetation, communal gardens, and a focus on local, eco-friendly food production. The on-site restaurant will utilise fresh produce grown within the community.

Silves, famed for its deep red sandstone buildings, historic castle, and picturesque riverfront, is a sought-after rural region. Also known as the 'Orange Capital of the Algarve, it blends historical charm with vibrant local life, offering a unique lifestyle complemented by its lush orange groves and annual festivals such as the Orange Festival and Medieval Festival.

Infrastructure work for Silves Hills is set to commence in late 2024, with Phase 1 and 2 scheduled for completion by early 2026 and the full development expected by 2029.
