For Julita, from Poland, buying a property in Portugal was never part of the plan.

Like many Poles, she thought of Spain when dreaming about retirement in the sun. But one day, a chance scroll on Instagram changed everything.

She discovered the Vale Furado Beach & Nature Retreat, a new-build development on Portugal’s Silver Coast.

Within minutes of arriving, Julita knew she had found her dream home: “Oh my God, this is my home!”.

A New Build by Presprop – Portugal Construction

Julita’s apartment is part of an exciting new development designed and built by Presprop – Portugal Construction, and sold exclusively by Leisure Launch property group.

As specialists in new-build properties on the Silver Coast, Portugal Realty introduced Julita to Vale Furado Beach & Nature Retreat, a Simple Life Home Buyer property blending modern design with a spectacular cliffside location overlooking the Atlantic.

The Simple Life Home Buyer Journey

Julita’s story is also a perfect example of the exclusive Simple Life Home Buyer services that we provide our homebuyers.

From the very first Zoom call with Dylan — Sales Director at Portugal Realty and also host of Portugal The Simple Life, Portugal’s most popular English-speaking podcast — Julita felt supported at every step.

During the construction phase, she received photo updates, guidance in choosing finishes, and peace of mind knowing the details were handled by our dedicated team of property specialists.

As Julita says: “I did nothing, just talking. Portugal Realty helped me with everything.”

This complete property solution meant that buying off-plan from abroad was surprisingly simple.

Life Between Poland and Portugal

Although she admits she knew very little about Portugal before visiting, Julita quickly saw the similarities with her home country.

Both Portugal and Poland have friendly, welcoming people and beautiful green forests. But here on the Silver Coast, Julita also gained the ocean, a warmer climate, and a safe, relaxed lifestyle that feels like home.

Julita’s professional life has always been fast-paced and demanding. As a manager in the Polish entertainment industry, she spends her days surrounded by constant noise, pressure, and long hours. Finding a home by the sea in Portugal has given her exactly what she was searching for — a calmer, simpler lifestyle where she can recharge, enjoy nature, and embrace a healthier balance between work and life.

For Julita, this ocean-view apartment is more than just a property; it’s the beginning of a dream come true.
