Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are set to recreate a “Malibu in Europe” as the couple have bought a property in Tróia Peninsula alongside other A-list celebrities.
The gated luxury development, set on 722 acres and located between the bijou villages of Melides and Comporta, is described on its website as “the simple luxury of natural European living”.
It has many activities and attractions attracting top celebrities to its beaches, including surfing, a golf course and a wellness centre.
Prince Harry recently showcased his impressive surfing skills in a video shared on professional surfer Raimana Van Bastolaer’s Instagram account.

The couple will be close to Princess Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, who moved to CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club in 2023, a luxury development of 300 properties by the sea in Melides.
The Tróia Peninsula has been referred to as the “the Hamptons of Portugal” or the “Malibu of Europe”.
The couple visited the destination, located to the south of Lisbon, the Portuguese capital, in 2023, on a trip around Europe.

They flew to Lisbon before travelling south to meet Harry’s cousin, Princess Eugenie and her family, who split their time between London and Portugal.
Like Harry and Meghan, Eugenie has two young children, August, three, and Ernest, one, who visited the Sussexes in California and featured in their 2022 Netflix documentary.
Brooksbank works in sales and marketing for Discovery Land Company. The members-only CostaTerra club in Portugal is Discovery’s first venture into Europe but has similar golf communities in the States, the Caribbean, and Mexico.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are expected to keep their £19.5million home in California, which they famously moved to in 2020 after stepping back as working royals.
