Where Missoni's Vibrant Legacy Meets Portugal's Coastal Heritage
An exclusive residential enclave within a 350-hectare pine forest estate, just 30 minutes from Lisbon, where Italian design excellence harmonizes with Portuguese architectural mastery.
Aroeira Collections by Missoni represents a rare convergence of Italian fashion heritage and Portuguese architectural excellence, set within a historic 350-hectare coastal pine forest estate. Located just 30 minutes from Lisbon on the celebrated Costa da Caparica, this exclusive development marks Missoni's debut in Portugal, a collaboration that brings the fashion house's renowned vibrancy and technical excellence to residential design. Surrounded by protected cliffs and enveloped by aromatic pines, the community offers an intimate collection of meticulously designed residences that honor both the landscape's natural beauty and the legacy of Portuguese modernism.
More than a residential development, Aroeira Collections is a thoughtfully conceived community where architecture dissolves into nature. World-renowned architect Ana Costa, alongside celebrated Portuguese architects Pedro Domingos and João Favila Menezes, has created a masterplan that prioritizes preservation over intervention. The development includes a boutique hotel, high-end apartments, distinctive houses, and exclusive villas, each designed to integrate seamlessly with the terrain. With two historic PGA golf courses, comprehensive leisure facilities, and direct access to the beloved Fonte da Telha beach, Aroeira Collections offers a lifestyle where time becomes your most precious luxury.
Aroeira Collections by Missoni is born from a profound respect for place and a dedication to what endures. This is architecture as healing, a development conceived not to dominate the landscape but to restore it, allowing centuries-old pines to remain undisturbed while new structures emerge organically from the terrain. Ana Costa's vision draws from her father's legendary Atelier Daciano da Costa, whose furniture will be reissued throughout the interiors, creating continuity between Portugal's modernist heritage and contemporary living. Missoni's mission here transcends decoration; it is to capture the very essence of Aroeira's landscape, the ochre cliffs, silver-green pines, golden dunes, and endless azure, and translate these elements into a tactile, lived experience.
The architectural philosophy is one of restraint and intention. Every addition is carefully considered; every preservation is deliberate. Gardens infused with honeysuckle, thyme, lavender, rosemary, and bay blend seamlessly with fallen pine needles, creating a sensory landscape that feels ancient and inevitable. Residents become the heart of this community, while the boutique hotel ensures a constant renewal of energy. Here, within walking distance, you can visit neighbors, dine at the restaurant surrounded by nature, practice yoga overlooking the forest, or simply pause beneath the pines, living not just in a place, but as part of it. This is architecture that doesn't merely stand in nature but belongs to it, creating homes that feel like they've always been here.
Where Championship Golf Meets Mediterranean Wellness
A complete resort lifestyle within a preserved coastal forest, two PGA courses, spa sanctuary, and Mediterranean dining, all designed for residents who value time.
At the center stands the boutique hotel with its 24-hour reception, ensuring seamless service and security while offering a sophisticated gathering place for residents and guests alike. The Clubhouse serves as the estate's social and sporting hub, a place to gather after a round of golf, celebrate with neighbors, or simply unwind within the landscape. Two historic PGA golf courses wind through the pine forest, embodying the patience, precision, and sportsmanship that define life at Aroeira.
The state-of-the-art fitness center and spa complex offers everything needed for holistic wellness: multipurpose training spaces for varied workouts, a serene sauna and steam room for deep relaxation, and private treatment rooms where expert therapists provide massages and wellness therapies. The resort-style swimming pool is set within meadows dotted with Mexican palms, creating a refreshing retreat surrounded by the estate's signature pines. The hotel's restaurant celebrates seasonal, locally sourced ingredients in a setting where floor-to-ceiling windows dissolve the boundary between interior and forest. Two tennis courts and three padel courts provide spaces for both recreational enjoyment and competitive play. Every amenity is designed with the same principle: to integrate naturally into the environment, offering residents a lifestyle where wellness, sport, and community flow seamlessly together within walking distance of home.
