September 2007 - Diarmuid Gavin brings his design to the Algarve

Recently released is the new excting Vilamoura Golf & Garden Resort located in the heart of vibrant Vilamoura in the Algarve, just 20 minutes from Faro airport.

Situated on a 170 acre site, this stunning new development will include luxury apartments and villas set within extensive, landscaped gardens crafted by renowned celebrity garden designer Diarmuid Gavin.

The Oceânico Group offers 7 great reasons for investors to choose the Vilamoura Golf & Garden Resort, other than the sheer quality of the residences and their setting. Simply put, those reasons are membership of seven of Europe's finest golf courses, either quite literally on your doorstep or just a short drive away. Properties at this resort will come with a golf title granting privileged membership not only to the five golf courses in Vilamoura but also to the two brand new courses at Amendoeira Golf Resort, located just 25 minutes away in the district of Silves. These two courses have been designed by Nick Faldo and Christy O'Connor Jnr and are due to open spring 2008 and autumn 2008 respectively.

The stunning architecture will be designed along a Moorish theme to reflect local influences. The luxury properties will offer spacious living in a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments with communal pools, four bedroom semi-detached villas and four and five-bedroom detached villas all with private pools.

The central feature of this resort will be the stunning landscaped gardens, carefully crafted by celebrity landscape designer Diarmuid Gavin.

The gardens will be both luxurious and relaxing and will fully reflect the Moorish theme of the resort. They will combine vibrant colourful arid planting suitable for the climate of the Algarve, with lakes and pools and tranquil walkways and an abundance of secluded Moroccan-style pavilions throughout the site will create private outdoor retreats.
