Serenity Portugal Village

Joining Serenity Portugal Village begins with a one-time joining fee of €80,000 and your first two months' fee paid in advance. A simple two-year minimum contract gives you security and stability from day one — and after that, your home is yours to enjoy for as long as you wish to stay. If life ever takes you elsewhere, you can transfer or sell your rights to someone new on the same terms. We also offer a buy-back option, welcoming your home back into the village and refunding your original joining fee. A modest two-month fee simply covers the careful restoration of your home to its original condition when you leave. The village is designed for 20 homes in total, built in two phases. The first 10 homes — 7 of which are already sold — will be ready for you to move into in April 2027. A further 10 homes will follow, completing in October 2027. All contracts and documentation are provided in English, so you'll always know exactly what you're agreeing to. To secure your home, a 30% downpayment is all that's needed — and it's fully refundable when your home is delivered. If your plans change and you need to step away, your downpayment comes back to you minus applicable transfer fees and bank charges. The €80,000 joining fee gives you something truly meaningful: the equivalent of a Life Interest (Life Estate). In plain terms, it means your home is yours to live in and enjoy for the rest of your life — a lasting, secure place that's truly your own, with all the peace of mind that brings.

It is completely different. Serenity Portugal Village is a luxury retirement village — not a care home. Think of it as a premium serviced community where independent retirees enjoy beautiful homes, superb amenities and a vibrant social life, all for an affordable and predictable monthly fee. You live in your own private home, come and go as you please, and shape your own days. What makes it special is that high-quality medical and nursing services are available if and when you ever need them — but they are a reassuring safety net, never the defining feature of your life here.

Absolutely. We know that relocating to a new country can feel daunting, so we guide you through every step. From finding the right lawyer to registering for healthcare, opening a bank account, and settling into local life — our team provides hands-on assistance so the transition is smooth and stress-free. You bring the excitement, we handle the logistics.

We work with trusted Portuguese lawyers and immigration specialists who can handle your residency application, NIF (tax number), NISS (social security number), and any other legal requirements. Whether you are applying through the D7 route or another pathway, we connect you with the right professionals and coordinate the process from start to finish.

We provide introductions to experienced tax advisors who understand both UK and Portuguese systems. They will help you understand how your pension, investments and income are treated, and structure your affairs efficiently. We do not offer tax advice ourselves — but we make sure you are in the hands of people who can.

If you are a UK State Pensioner, you may be eligible for an S1 form, which allows you to access Portuguese state healthcare funded by the UK. We help you navigate the paperwork, register with a local health centre, and arrange private health insurance if you prefer — so you are covered from day one.

Your home is yours, and your independence always comes first. Should your needs change over time, you can add extra services — from nurse visits to medical check-ups — without leaving your home or the community you love. It is a flexible model built entirely around you.

Yes. An exclusive 24/7 home medical visits service is available to every resident and is fully included in your monthly fee — day or night, a qualified medical professional can visit you in your home whenever you need them. This is part of what makes Serenity Portugal Village different from a simple housing development: genuine, round-the-clock healthcare coordination is woven into the fabric of village life, giving you and your family lasting peace of mind.
