Pirates once hid in the sea caves around the Portuguese town of Lagos—especially at Ponta da Piedade. That’s two miles south of Lagos, where labyrinthine grottoes made the perfect cover.
Local legend says that Moorish gold still lies hidden in one of those grottos.
It would be incredible to find that lost treasure today. Imagine coming into an instant fortune with no effort on your part…
I can’t help you find pirate booty.
BUT…
I can do the next best thing…
I can offer you details of a brand-new deal in Lagos, Portugal, that I’m bringing to members of my Real Estate Trend Alert (RETA) group…
And, more importantly, let you know how you can benefit from it.
After more than three years…it’s finally here!
That’s how long it’s been since there was a RETA deal in Lagos, in Portugal’s sun-drenched Algarve.
For a time, I thought the opportunity in Lagos had passed. But now we’ve unlocked an exceptional new opportunity…
Here’s what makes this deal so special:
- It’s in Lagos’ most prestigious neighborhood—Porto de Mós
- Minutes from the Algarve’s best beach
- In a best-in-class community designed by Portugal’s top architect
And the numbers speak for themselves:
- I expect gains of €311,500
- I expect gross income of €56,000 per year
- That’s a gross yield of more than 11%
- There aren’t many modern condo communities in Porto de Mos. It’s mostly villas selling for €2 million…€3 million…€4 million…and more. In the few modern condo communities, prices run as high as €1.9 million
- Yet, thanks to RETA’s connections, you can own stunning, ultra-luxurious two-bed condos with spacious terraces from only €498,500
- Mortgages are readily available to foreign buyers in Portugal at incredible rates like 2.7%, which means you could own here from €1,883 per month
This deal is only for RETA members…
But in 48 hours, you’ll have the chance to join RETA for just $7 and unlock full access to this deal.
For those who don’t know Portugal, the Algarve is in the south of the country facing the Atlantic, yet it has a perfect Mediterranean climate.
This is a place of rich culture, great food, soaring cliffs, white-washed villages, stunning beaches, and 300 days of sunshine a year…all of which has made it one of the most popular destinations in Europe, attracting millions of tourists each year, as well as lots of part- and full-time expats.
Its sunny shores offer perfect escapes for all types, from those seeking an energetic nightlife, to families looking for secluded stays next to vast golden-sand beaches. It has historical attractions in former Moorish towns, thermal springs, and miles of limestone caves and grottos, cliffs, and bays along its rugged coastline.
The lifestyle here is hard to beat. It’s been compared to that of California by the likes of LA Magazine, which is why so many folks from the Golden State love it here. It’s a place where the sun always shines and life is lived outdoors.
And on Saturday, April 12, for just $7, you’ll have the chance to join RETA and unlock full access to a brand-new luxury real estate deal in Lagos.
Portugal has become hugely popular with Americans in recent years. Last year alone, the number of new residents from the U.S. increased by almost 50 percent. But it’s not just Americans who are flocking here.
The Algarve attracts a huge mix of markets. It’s what I call an “internationalized place” that draws Northern Europeans, North Americans, and even folks from as far away as Asia.
This is crucial…
As a conservative investor, I buy in internationalized destinations because they are far more resilient to crisis. These are places where, no matter what happens, people always come. And today, they’re coming to the Algarve in record numbers.
In 2024, the international airport in Faro, the gateway to the Algarve, saw 9.8 million passengers. That’s a new all-time high and an astonishing number when you consider the entire population of Portugal totals only 10.5 million.
This influx is transforming the Algarve…and in particular, the town of Lagos.
For decades, most of the tourism development in the Algarve was centered in the towns close to Faro airport like Albufeira and Vilamoura. These towns experienced unrestrained development, with high-rise condo blocks built over the beaches to serve the tourists jetting in and out for affordable vacations.
But development never made it to Lagos.
This town has a stunning coastline and a rich cultural heritage (in 1415, Henry the Navigator set sail with a huge fleet from Lagos, launching the Age of Discovery). But for decades, Lagos was seen as too far from Faro airport. And so it remained low-rise and low-key.
This was a sleepy town when I first scouted it.
Then a few things changed…
First, a new highway reduced travel time between Lagos and Faro to an hour. Later, as the world recovered from the global financial crisis and the remote-working revolution began to take hold, the Algarve began attracting new kinds of folks.
These were wealthier vacationers looking for a more authentic, upmarket experience…well-off retirees seeking a true community where they could live year-round…remote-working professionals looking for a place to stay for part or all of the year…
As more of these wealthier folks came, development started pushing west toward Lagos, the last major stop on the Path of Progress here.
It was a perfect storm of opportunity for the town. And it’s grabbed it with both hands…
RETA was ahead of this transformation once—and now, we’re back ahead again. Join for $7 on Saturday to get access.
When people started arriving in big numbers in Lagos around a decade ago, the town realized it had an opportunity to develop differently. It came up with a strategic vision…
Lagos would evolve in a careful and controlled way that maintained its character and livability.
Development would be kept a healthy distance back from its pristine beaches. History would be emphasized, with its old town, white-washed churches, and historic citadel restored.
Strict building regulations would keep all new construction low-rise and low-density (only in exceptionally rare cases does the town allow buildings to exceed five floors). Care and attention was paid to aesthetics. The focus would be on high-end communities that fit the character and culture of the town.
The resulting transformation has been astonishing. Lagos has gone from overlooked, downtrodden town to thriving, internationalized destination.
And this town is only getting started…
The last decade has been transformative for Lagos, but now it’s entering a new phase in its development.
The only thing more exciting than the Lagos of today is the Lagos of tomorrow.
Investment is flooding into this town…
- Hilton have started construction on a vast $119 million marina project that will include two new hotels, a 4-star and a 5-star. The 5-star hotel will have double the number of rooms of the 4-star (highlighting the high-end focus of this town). And part of this project involves deepening the marina to accommodate larger pleasure vessels of up to 30 meters in length and installing seven floating walkways to improve docking facilities.
- Nearby on Meia Praia beach, a major Portuguese developer is building a new luxury 5-star resort at a cost of $66 million.
- The Palmares Ocean Living and Golf Resort in Lagos is undergoing a major expansion. This 200-hectare resort (which already boasts a 27-hole golf course and a boutique hotel) was bought by U.S. firm Arrow Global in 2023, with a combined acquisition and development investment of around $440 million. The new masterplan includes luxury villas and condos, as well as the new 5-star JW Marriott Algarve Palmares Hotel & Spa hotel, the first JW Marriott in Portugal.
- A new luxury hotel is also planned at the Boavista Golf and Spa Resort in Lagos, with rumors circulating this may also be a Marriott project.
This is an astonishing level of investment for a compact, walkable town of 30,000 people. And all of it is focused on 5-star luxury.
The world’s top resort brands are all in on Lagos’ vision. And the reason they’re investing: Supply can’t keep up with demand.
But Lagos hasn’t lost its soul. This is still the town of cobbled lanes and whitewashed villas, of oceanfront boardwalks and quiet beaches tucked beneath golden cliffs. The cafes still serve flaky pastel de nata with your morning bica. The sunsets still cast golden light across the cliffs at Ponta da Piedade.
It’s this mix of laid-back luxury, authentic charm, and real scarcity that’s created a surge in demand… and that’s why I’m so excited for what’s coming this Saturday.
Wishing you good real estate investing,
