Fully furnished, key-ready properties provide attractive relocation solution in “world’s most family-friendly country”
The luxurious Monte Santo resort, at which Kronos Homes recently launched real estate sales, is offering families a ‘plug and play’ solution to relocating overseas. With fully furnished, key-ready homes priced from €279,000, the five-star Algarve resort makes it easy for families to quickly immerse themselves in Portuguese life.
Portugal is a hit with families seeking an affordable life in the sunshine. The Family Relocation Report has just named it the world’s most family-friendly country to relocate to.
The affordability of childcare, which averages 5% of family income, utilities (€119 per month, on average) and property were key reasons for Portugal taking the family-friendly crown. The report also factored in average hours worked, paid maternity/parental/home care leave, top universities, average reading, science and maths proficiency, the availability of child-friendly attractions and the cost of a flight from London – for families to maintain their links ‘back home’.
Families who have already made the move to Portugal also highlight the country’s relaxed pace of life, low cost of living and English proficiency as family-friendly attractions. Numbeo data reveals that the cost of living in Portugal is 28.8% lower than in the UK.
Meanwhile, Portugal ranks eight globally in Education First’s English proficiency index, meaning families who don’t yet speak much Portuguese can ease themselves into learning the language while still manage perfectly well living there.
By taking the hassle out of the moving experience, Monte Santo Resort is attracting keen interest from families considering a new life in Portugal. The resort offers both apartments and villas for sale, with accommodation to suit a wide range of different preferences and needs. The properties are clustered around an impressive central swimming pool, as well as four smaller pools spread across the resort, with pretty waterways running between them.
On-site amenities include a multi-sports court, spa and wellness centre, children’s area and clubhouse, providing families with a wealth of opportunities to keep fit, relax and socialise.
Alda Filipe, Real Estate Director, Kronos Homes, says: “Relocating and starting a new chapter overseas should be an adventure, not something stressful. At Monte Santo Resort, we are supporting families to enjoy every moment of the relocation experience. The high-quality homes are ready to move into, so families can move in minus all the usual hassles.”
Monte Santo Resort’s location also lends itself to the family-friendly vibe. Just minutes from the stunning beach at Carvoeiro, the resort also provides easy access to essential amenities and services: Carvoeiro is packed with shops, restaurants, leisure venues, banks, healthcare services and more. The closest international school is also less than 15 minutes’ drive away, as is the massive Slide & Splash waterpark. A little further along the coast, attractions such as Zoomarine and Aquashow, the largest waterpark in the country, add to the choice of things to do with children.
The Algarve’s enormous range of beautiful beaches also means that affordable days out at the seaside never get dull. The region also offers an abundance of hiking and cycling trails, from flat routes through incredible scenery to challenging mountain climbs.
