Welcome to the Future of Healthy Ageing: Life Plan Resorts in Portugal.
Life Plan Resorts (LPR) has set its sights on creating a groundbreaking retirement resort for healthy ageing that promises to redefine the concept of senior living. With an integrated retirement plan and a sanctuary for mind, body, and spirit, this visionary development will offer an array of amenities and services to ensure the well-being of its residents. Let’s take a closer look at what this resort has to offer and why Portugal was chosen as its ideal location.
Nestled in the picturesque beauty of a rural protected cork forest in Benavente, Portugal, the LPR resort boasts a stunning 2.8 kilometers of riverfront along the Tagus Estuary Natural Reserve, one of Europe’s largest wetlands. The resort’s phased development ensures a seamless integration with the natural surroundings, providing residents with a tranquil and picturesque environment to call home.
There is a growing demand for retirement solutions that prioritize healthy ageing, security, and peace of mind.
With Europe’s demographics shifting towards an ageing population, the need for comprehensive retirement options has become increasingly apparent. Benavente, only a 35-minute drive from Lisbon, offers an ideal location for the resort, making it easily accessible and providing a favorable tax environment for retirees.
Dubbed the “Florida of Europe” for retirees, Portugal offers a low cost of living, a temperate climate, and a reputation for safety and security. These factors, combined with the resort’s eco-friendly initiatives, including green certification, solar power, and organic gardens, make it a dream destination for those seeking a carefree and sustainable retirement lifestyle.
At the heart of LPR’s vision is the celebration of life and the encouragement of active, fulfilling lifestyles. The resort’s carefully designed Healthy Ageing Program provides residents with access to four essential components: physical health and fitness, mental and cognitive well-being, social engagement, and spiritual enrichment. From state-of-the-art healthcare facilities to over 100 activities on a 36-hole golf estate, residents can expect a vibrant and enriching lifestyle tailored to their unique needs and desires.
The resort’s transformation of the existing 36-hole golf estate, with nine holes becoming an executive course, adds another layer of leisure and recreation to the already impressive list of amenities.
Innovative funding models have been devised to support the realization of this ambitious project. LPR offers three key components: the purchase of a Life Right, which provides security of tenure for life, Club Membership with a Healthy Ageing Program for access to all amenities and activities, and Bundled Monthly Services covering essential expenses such as utilities, internet, and TV. This structure provides residents with financial certainty and peace of mind, knowing they have access to quality healthcare when needed.
Beyond the boundaries of the resort, LPR has identified potential for growth, with plans for a second property that could see the resort expand to 5,000 units. The project’s scale and impact are significant, with a total investment exceeding €1 billion and the creation of 1,400 permanent jobs, further contributing to the local economy.
