Uptown,

the future has

come to Vilamoura

The future has come to Vilamoura. Uptown merges commerce, leisure, tourism and

residential to create a new centrality in Vilamoura. The destination is supported by

nature and will create a new vision of the future for the largest resort in Portugal.

«Uptown is unique and different from everything

that already exists in the Algarve. The project

provides a base to develop a new form of living

in the region»,

explained the Vilamoura World

Administration to Iberian Property

Uptown will be developed near to the west

entrance of Vilamoura and aims to create a

new destination that mixes both community

and village experiences. Residents of Uptown

will be able to make all journeys on foot and

experience nature in their everyday life. The Vil-

amoura International School, Equestrian Centre,

and Environmental Park are already operating

on Uptown’s boundaries.

Focusing on its mission as Master Developer,

Vilamoura World has already invested heavily

in its infrastructure and is now consolidating

the architecture and urbanisation components.

French architect Jacques Ferrier was chosen

from an international architecture contest that

took place earlier in 2017.
