More golf and new marina for St Lucia
A period of sustainable growth lies ahead for St Lucia’s property market, especially over the next five years in the Rodney Bay area, situated in the north of the island beyond the capital Castries.

Six new golf courses are planned within 10 miles of Rodney Bay, and a new €250 million marina development is under way.

Apartments and villas in St Lucia are around 65 per cent cheaper than comparable property on neighbouring Barbados.

Build yourself a Brazilian villa
Terravista, tucked between the towns of Trancoso and Arraial D’Ajuda, forms part of Brazil’s Discovery Coast.

Perched on the cliff tops, the focal point is an 18-hole golf course and surrounding property at Terravista comes in several forms.

For those who prefer ‘bespoke’ to ‘off the peg’, there are plots on the fringes of the golf course ranging between 1,400m2 and 4,900m2 ready for private villa construction under the umbrella of ‘Villavista Golf’.

Prices start from 488,000 Brazilian Reais (approx. £123,000) for a Terra type villa with two suites within Terravista Villas and UK sales are being handled by GEM Estates.

Exclusive development for Bansko
A golf/ski/spa development consisting of 73 apartments and four family villas, with club house and spa in Bansko is being marketed in the UK by Westhill Investments.

The complex will be an exclusive gated community, with secure underground parking and manned security. It will include a private clubhouse, café/bar, health spa and indoor/outdoor pool.

Villas will be set over three floors with living/dining area and open fire places. A spiral staircase leads up to the two double bedrooms. Each villa has four balconies with views towards the mountains and 18-hole golf course.

Panorama Villas will overlook the new golf course in Razlog Valley, designed by Ryder Cup captain Ian Woosnam.

Prices for properties with 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms range from £63,000 to £264,000.
