This “Malibu of Europe” may no longer remain confidential for a long time.
Malibu, the Hamptons … These evocative names are dreaming with their infinite beaches, their stars villas and their typically Californian or New York living. But did you know that there is a still confidential destination in Europe that has nothing to envy them? Welcome to a peninsula, which has become “European Malibu” in a few years and which seduces the millionaires.
This is the case of Robert de Niro who appreciates the calm of the place far from the New York effervescence or Christian Louboutin, who fell in love with this end of the world to the point of opening a hotel according to the English daily The Telegraph … they are not the only ones! Just as Malibu attracts Hollywood gratin, this haven of peace has become the privileged point of fall in the European elite.
Hidden behind the dunes, sumptuous villas and ultra-private hotel complexes thus welcome brand hosts. George Clooney, Madonna or Portuguese coach José Mourinho would have their habits there. Even the British royal family cracks for this corner of paradise, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle planning to offer himself a second home after staying there at the end of 2024, according to the English press.
Welcome to Troia! Only 40 kilometers south of Lisbon, this Eden 64 kilometers long bordered by the Atlantic Ocean accumulates all the assets. White sandy beaches as far as the eye can see, welcoming waters, majestic dunes, authentic fishermen’s villages … The decor is planted for an enchanted parenthesis.
It must be said that like the Hamptons, Troia was until recently a raw jewel jealously guarded by a handful of initiates and connoisseurs. According to the report by The Telegraph, a large part of the land belonged to a powerful family of Portuguese bankers who invited the European aristocracy in all discretion. Since the luxury complexes have pushed but until then without distorting the wild spirit of the place.
Here, we move by bike on the sandy trails, we offer ourselves a breakaway straddling the beach or a sea outing with the big dolphins. History enthusiasts will marvel at the nearby Roman ruins. Please note, Troia may no longer remain a well -kept secret very long …
