Leading luxury resort developer United Investment Portugal (UIP) has formally opened its exemplary new Pine Cliffs Ocean Suites development, extending its exceptional 100 per cent record for delivering major luxury resort and real estate developments on time and on budget. Having met every stipulated construction deadline and milestone throughout the project, UIP officially opened the 76 high-spec seafront chic apartments on 26 June – establishing a new benchmark for the very best in Algarvean luxury resort living. Following their unveiling at a spectacular Grand Reopening event in July, only three of the new Ocean Suites are still available for sale.
Located within the grounds of Portugal's award-winning Pine Cliffs Resort, in a priceless location overlooking the spectacular red-gold cliffs of Albufeira, the new Ocean Suites bring together UIP's proven development experience, the expertise of innovative Portuguese architects PROMONTORIO, and the best in contemporary interior design by Lynne Hunt London. Available both for purchase and for holiday bookings, the new two- and three-bedroom apartments represent an unprecedented luxury lifestyle and investment proposition, with discerning buyers benefitting from Portugal's favourable tax regime for foreign investors.
