Situated near the medieval town of Óbidos, on the banks of the Lagoon

is Bom Sucesso – Design Resort, Leisure Golf & SPA. The Design resort presents the most ambitious project ever planned for a luxury tourist resort.
Built over an area covering 1 576 210 sqm, Bom Sucesso will contain 601 houses – both villas and townhouses – a hotel with a Spa, an 18 hole Championship golf course, an unparalleled range of facilities and a large ecological reserve.
It was developed as a model of excellence, with contemporary architecture as the cornerstone of its concept strategy. A group of highly qualified architects, both Portuguese and foreign, developed an innovative concept; contemporary architecture blended into the landscape.
Twenty three Masters of Contemporary Architecture joined forces in order to create Bom Sucesso, on a single property but without neglecting the specifics of each project area.
