The concentric architectural arrangement around the central leisure space gives White Shell its distinctive image, enhancing a feeling of community and family that is essential to benefit to the full from the living experience.
The colours of its minimalist, contemporary design, closely linked to the landscape and the region, were inspired by the unique tones of the Algarve soil, reflected in the selection of terracotta floors and walls, and also in the vegetation, which includes typical trees such as almond and carob. The villas were also given a unifying note, creating a more natural and comfortable but simultaneously sophisticated and harmonious interior.
White Shell includes communal heated swimming pools – with poolside bar – a multipurpose games field and a padel court, children’s playground, spa, gym, assorted services, covered car park and concierge services.
The swimming pools are located in the central leisure space and help create a sense of community for the residents, whilst the spacious landscaped areas are conducive to outdoor activities in a Mediterranean lifestyle, recreating a simple and sustainable ecosystem.

White Shell, a luxury eco resort, has been developed with a strong commitment to sustainability, offering a unique but differentiated space with great environmental quality.
The villas were designed to provide total comfort in terms of heating, acoustics and light, without compromising energy efficiency and economy of resources.
