Sustainability as a key value

The basic concept of the “Eco Estrela” project is full integration with nature, with the harmonious coexistence of the resort’s buildings, sport and leisure facilities with natural features of environmental interest, which will be protected on the site. The concept for the investment is based on developing a range of sustainable tourist activities in harmony with local nature, meeting all the requirements and indices in the relevant environmental laws.

The “Eco Estrela” project is expected to include areas for the resort, branded residences, luxury non-branded residences, a technological center, retail and service facilities, a horse riding center, turtle research and protection center and a sport fishing and diving center, as well as extensive green areas, professional stables and game fields for the Polo Academy.

The combination of natural beauty and order aims to create a sustainable tourist destination focused on high-standard local and international niche markets. The suggested occupation model respects public space by creating elements that will emphasize the landscape’s value and natural road system. Use of solar energy, responsible management of water resources, landscape architecture based on endemic species and transport limited to electric vehicles are the foundations of the “Eco Estrela” concept.
