Choosing the right destination is crucial – not just for lifestyle but also for long-term investment potential. Increasingly, Lagos and Boavista Golf and Spa are becoming top choices for digital nomads seeking a perfect blend of work-life balance, infrastructure, and investment opportunities.

A thriving community with excellent infrastructure

Lagos, located in the relatively undiscovered western Algarve, offers a vibrant community ideal for remote workers. With fast and reliable internet connectivity, numerous coworking spaces and cafés have been designed so that digital nomads can easily stay connected and work efficiently.

The municipality of Lagos has recently highlighted its commitment to supporting remote professionals by opening CoLagos, a new coworking hub in the rural location of Barão de São João. Officially inaugurated on June 20th, CoLagos expands the award-winning municipal coworking network, responding to the growing demand for collaborative work environments.

Further supporting the digital nomad revolution is the LACO Business Hub, a space dedicated to sustainability, creativity, and innovation. LACO embodies a circular and regenerative business ethos, providing digital nomads with a stimulating work environment. Co-Founder Jimmy Bakker explains, “With the early adopters now settled and growing their businesses, the LACO Business Hub is entering its second phase of development. This phase includes exciting new projects within a 900m² warehouse named Just B. Here. These additions will provide versatile opportunities for entrepreneurs and significantly enhance the hub’s offerings.”

Boavista connecting with digital entrepreneurs

Boavista complements this dynamic work environment with luxury holiday accommodation, spacious homes, and excellent amenities that provide an ideal setting for creativity and relaxation after work hours. Bayview Village has been particularly popular with digital nomads as it incorporates a dedicated leisure and wellness centre along with highspeed broadband internet and property management services all included within the condominium fee.

The next phase of the development, Seaview, offers remote workers a final opportunity to purchase within a private condominium, combining natural beauty with well-planned infrastructure that fosters an inspiring lifestyle that seamlessly blends work and leisure.

Margarida Rodrigues, Head of Sales at Boavista Golf & Spa, reports, "Lately, we’ve seen an increase in digital nomads choosing Boavista to work remotely. They are drawn not only by our well-designed apartments and villas, but also by fast internet connections on the resort, along with the growing number of coworking hubs nearby. Boavista makes an ideal base for remote professionals seeking both comfort and community."


Perfect lifestyle and work-life balance


Lagos is celebrated for its spectacular beaches, historic charm, and lively cultural scene. Outdoor activities such as surfing, hiking, sailing and cycling are right on your doorstep at Boavista. The resort also provides its residents with discounts on the 18-hole golf course, the Essential Fitness & Spa, tennis and padel courts, providing the perfect outlets for work breaks.

The region’s mild climate allows for year-round outdoor living, allowing for the perfect work-life balance. Being able to enjoy outdoor activities during work breaks is key to sustaining motivation and creativity.

Jennifer Rader moved to Portugal from the United States in 2024, driven by the political situation, and chose the Algarve for herself and her 12-year-old daughter. She has enjoyed life on Boavista, running her recruitment company remotely, meeting new friends, hosting a large Thanksgiving event for 30 of her neighbours while remaining connected to her business. “Boavista allowed me to meet so many new friends while enjoying peace, security and connectivity for me and my daughter,” Jennifer enthuses.

Growing investment potential

Investing in property on a development like Boavista offers significant potential for both lifestyle value and financial growth. The area is seeing substantial investment in new infrastructure, including enhancements to healthcare, education, and transport.

Faro International Airport is just a short drive away, offering easy connections across Europe and beyond. This accessibility enables frequent travel if needed, while still enjoying a peaceful home base within Boavista Golf and Spa. The first direct air link between Faro and New York/Newark started in May. United Airlines operates this route four times a week, further cementing the Algarve as a prime location for US digital nomads.

Properties with access to premium amenities and well-connected infrastructure often enjoy higher rental demand and property appreciation. For digital nomads, purchasing a home on Boavista can serve as both a comfortable personal base and a savvy investment.

Supportive community and services

Boavista Golf and Spa offers a secure, welcoming environment with excellent property management services – ideal for nomads who may not always be present year-round. Boavista also offers a friendly social circle for all nationalities with regular social events hosted at the Clubhouse.

Additionally, Lagos hosts an active expat and digital nomad community, enriched by growing coworking networks. There are several Facebook groups that bring this community together, including the Lagos Digital Nomads Community. Their Facebook page announces, “In Lagos, you will find a vibrant digital nomads’ community where you’ll meet people just like you who share similar values and interests.” They organise a number of events and activities to unite this community, along with a newsletter introducing local business partners.


The Digital Nomad Visa for remote workers and freelancers who provide services to entities outside Portugal, but who wish to reside in the country, is also a benefit for those wishing to move permanently to work in Portugal.
