Winning formula for investors at Praia Bonita, Brazil

11th April 2008 Print
The Praia Bonita Resort, Natal, Brazil International investors are impressed by holiday apartments and chalets at Praia Bonita due to their excellent buy-to-let and resale potential in a managed holiday resort complex. In addition to being located just south of Natal, northeast Brazil’s major emerging tourism area, Praia Bonita offers investors some effective exit strategies: high rental potential as well as the 2 years’ guaranteed rental at 5% p.a. thrown into the deal. As importantly, a ready foot-flow of buyers from amongst the tourists renting on the resort will greatly boost these units’ resale potential.

As part of a hotel complex, owners at Praia Bonita will benefit from its management service to attract rental clients as well as potential resale clients.

With prices from 55,600 EUR, Praia Bonita is attracting much attention amongst shrewd investors seeking a trouble-free investment. Bernardo Retana, Director of Investment Product and Development at the International Property Investment Network (IPIN), confirms: ‘From an investment point of view, Praia Bonita excels: As the project is to be run as a holiday resort with the convenience of hotel management in place, it will already attract a steady stream of year-round visitors, all of whom are also potential resale clients. A fixed income from a 2 year guaranteed rental agreement at 5% per annum will give extra value to your investment which is already estimated to attract 20% capital appreciation in the first year.’

‘A great added feature of this particular investment option is that the resort is easy to reach due to direct flights from many worldwide cities. In fact, the Praia Bonita resort is but 20 minutes drive from Natal’s international airport. This is sure to appeal to many European tourists who, after a 7 or 8 hour transatlantic flight, are relieved to have such a short distance to travel to their final destination.‘

The studios, one and two bedroom apartments and chalets come complete with everything to be expected from a modern beachfront resort: adults’ and childrens’ swimming pools; fitness facilities, including sauna; a restaurant; pool and beach bars and 24-hour security, to name but some. Facilities blend tastefully into the environment, in strict conformity with local regulations for eco-friendliness. Residents will enjoy a stunning beachfront location, between a freshwater lagoon, ideal for bathing, and a white sandy beach paradise.

The area of Natal itself is undergoing impressive development programmes to create quality low-density eco-resorts, while international hotel chains have been introduced to the area. These are welcome additions to boost the success of Natal’s golf courses, shopping centres, sports marina, aquatic park, cinema complexes and restaurants; all prerequisites to a successful tourism environment. Along with an extensive new airport, these facilities are ready to serve the growing influx of national and international tourists coming to Natal on holiday.

Indeed, some USD 750 million has recently been invested to improve the tourism infrastructure of the area; this includes roads, airports, marinas and environmental preservation, in turn creating 200,000 new jobs last year alone. Projects such as the spectacular new bridge, recently opened across the Natal river, now make access to the north coast much easier and are instrumental in generating significant growth for this area. Some 1.8 billion USD are now earmarked for tourist resort projects and infrastructure works over the next five years, making this area a safe bet for any investor seeking a growing market in which to purchase real estate.
