Welcome to
Primeira Vista Retreat
Primeira Vista Retreat sits within the natural landscape of Santa Maria Island, overlooking São Lourenço Bay centred around a traditional homestead farm house. The site features elevated coastal views, natural vegetation and rich local experiences. It will include direct access to a private beach club, creating the setting for a distinctive, wellness hospitality experience.
Global trends are shifting toward high-yield, experiential retreats that prioritise authenticity, nature-driven stays and low-impact, flexible design. As the greenest island in the Azores, with rising demand and limited boutique supply, Santa Maria is well placed within this growing movement.
Built on sustainable design principles, this fully approved and licensed opportunity appeals to investors who care deeply about the environment and aspire to create a unique, exclusive hospitality development in the Azores.
