Located in the district of Silves, 25 minutes from Faro airport, Amendoeira is set against the spectacular backdrop of Portugal's Monchique mountains and is surrounded by local flora and fauna, including more than fifty species of birds. The historic town of Silves, which offers a choice of shops, bars and restaurants, is just 6kms away while the beaches of the Algarve are less than a 10-minute drive from the resort.

Amendoeira will offer a choice of accommodation for overseas property buyers, with the architecture beautifully designed to reflect the local Moorish influence. The residences range from luxury four and five bedroom villas with private swimming pools, to three bedroom villas with an optional swimming pool, and two- and three- bedroom apartments with a communal pool. All properties have views of the golf courses.

Supporting Amendoeira's world-class golf courses, the resort will also offer a PGA approved Golf Academy, state-of-the-art golf simulation with tuition and analysis, and the Clubhouse with facilities including a swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, bar and restaurant.

For sports enthusiasts the Amendoeira Sporting Club will offer sporting and training facilities, including a gymnasium, a full size football/rugby pitch, tennis/paddle courts, lawn bowling greens and several Astroturf five-a-side and multipurpose pitches.

For families the Vila Amendoeira is designed for children and offers an interactive arcade, cyber cafe, library and creche. There are also outdoor and indoor swimming pools, a restaurant and bar, a convenience store and, for those who can't be out of touch with the office, a business centre.

The first stage of the Amendoeira development is due for completion in late 2007, with full completion scheduled for 2009/10.
