Missoni is officially expanding its world of luxury design into Portugal with the launch of Aroeira Collections, a new residential development located just south of Lisbon. Situated within the 864-acre Herdade da Aroeira estate, the project marks the Italian fashion house’s first hospitality-focused real estate venture in the country—and demand is already strong, with around 30% of units reserved shortly after construction began in September.
A New Architectural Landmark in Natural Harmony
Just 30 minutes from Lisbon’s city centre, Aroeira Collections blends contemporary Mediterranean aesthetics with strategic low-impact design. The master plan from lead architect Ana Costa, together with Pedro Domingos and João Favila Meneses—recent winners of the Valmor Award—emphasizes balance with the surrounding pine forests, sand dunes, and Atlantic environment.
Buildings are shaped using:
- Natural stone and wood
- Low-height massing that follows the natural land contours
- Floor plans maximizing sunlight, air circulation, and outdoor access
The result is a residential environment that feels relaxed, calm, and deeply rooted in place.
Houses, Villas, and Apartments Designed for Luxury Living
The development includes a blend of residences designed to suit both year-round living and lifestyle investment:
Private Homes Among the Pines
Two-, three-, and four-bedroom houses offer:
- Split-level layouts
- Private terraces
- Open interiors connected to surrounding nature
28 Signature Villas
Located around the golf course, the villas offer different levels of privacy:
- 8 premium villas overlook the greens directly
- 20 additional serviced villas feature Missoni interior design
Each serviced villa includes:
- Missoni furnishings
- Private patios
- Dipping pools
- Upper social spaces positioned for sun and scenery
Elegant Apartments
Forty two- and three-bedroom apartments complete the offering, designed with flexible layouts suitable for:
- Permanent residents
- Holiday homeowners

A Lifestyle Community With Seamless Outdoor Living
Beyond the homes, the master-planned estate offers a complete resort-style environment. Thoughtfully pedestrian-friendly pathways connect residents to:
- A restaurant
- Greengrocer
- Spa and wellness centre
- Pools
- Sports facilities
- Tennis and padel courts
- Two PGA-branded golf courses
Landscaping highlights indigenous flora—including rosemary, lavender, and the project’s namesake, aroeira (mastic tree)—enhancing ecological continuity while reducing irrigation needs.
Missoni Design Comes to Life
Missoni has overseen the interiors of the hospitality spaces and serviced villas, bringing its signature aesthetic to Portugal. Expect:
- Iconic Missoni patterns

- A sense of contemporary Italian craftsmanship
The project will also include reissues of classic Portuguese design pieces, such as:
- The Poltrona Daciano da Costa armchair, newly upholstered in Missoni fabrics.
A New Era of Branded Living
With completion expected in late 2028, Aroeira Collections is poised to become one of Portugal’s most elegant and design-driven property developments. It brings together:
- International luxury branding
- Award-winning architecture
- Scenic coastal living
- Resort amenities
- Strong real estate demand
For buyers in search of a home that blends fashion-house refinement with natural Portuguese beauty, Missoni’s debut project delivers a compelling new address on Lisbon’s southern coast.
