Enjoying a tropical beachfront location, the development is just 15 metres from beautiful Atlantic Ocean beaches and just a short drive from both Natal International Airport and the site of the new airport which is due for completion in 2010.

Set in a low density complex with no building more than 2 storeys high, all properties enjoy ocean views and communal tropical gardens, as well as extensive communal facilities and amenities. These include stunning landscaped gardens, large freeform pool, fully-equipped gymnasium, a children's club and games room.   Laguna Beach property owners will benefit from a full concierge service including property maintenance, cleaning and shuttle services. As you would expect from a luxury complex, Laguna Beach is fully-gated with 24-hour security.

A Money Making Opportunity

Laguna Beach offers the investor an early entry opportunity into the world's strongest emerging market, in Brazil's top emerging region where property prices grew by 30% in 2007.

Investment in Laguna Beach offers an estimated 132% return on investment over 5 years, including an estimated rental yield of 9% per annum, based upon a capital growth forecast of 15%.

Brazil - One of the World's Best Performing Economies

The Laguna Beach project is an unparalleled investment opportunity in one of the world's top-performing economies - Brazil recorded Q2 GDP growth of 6%, is South America's strongest economy and is predicted to become one of the world's major economic powerhouses by 2050.

Economic health is visible in Brazil's growing wealthy population - the number of millionaires in the country grew by nearly 50% in 2007 - and the introduction of mortgages for residents combined with a severe housing shortage has led Forbes magazine to call Brazil the "darling of emerging markets".

Tabatinga and the Natal Region

The Laguna Beach project is situated in Tabatinga, in Brazil's north east region not far from Natal, which is a major focus of investor interest. With around 400km of coastline and some of Brazil's most beautiful beaches, Natal is an up-and-coming tourist destination and prime property investment location. The area is included in the Brazilian government's National Tourist Plan for worldwide promotion, and as such, will see significant investment in tourist infrastructure over the next 5 years. Tabatinga is already showing its potential as a major resort for holidaymakers from around the world and is firmly on the radar for wealthy Brazilians.

Assured Exit Strategy

Laguna Beach is a genuine luxury product designed to meet demand from international second home buyers and Brazil's wealthy population, particularly from São Paulo where the luxury consumer market is worth US$1.7 billion a year. The high-end property market is currently small with very few products that meet genuine luxury standards. Many developments on the market are small and of questionable quality. Laguna Beach will set the highest possible standards for luxurious homes in north east Brazil, offering space, security and comprehensive onsite facilities.

A Diverse Investment Portfolio

Laguna Beach offers investors a diverse portfolio of luxury beachfront properties: 8 exclusive frontline beach bungalows each with a private pool and unparalleled ocean views; 12 deluxe villas set on individual plots with private garden and pool; 10 superior townhouses offering extensive living space including 4 bedrooms and a roof terrace with Jacuzzi; and 54 luxury apartments with spacious living areas.

Prices start from an incredibly low ₤41,500 up to around ₤221,000 for the most exclusive beach bungalow. Laguna Beach has an investment opportunity for everyone.
