Gaia is home to some of the world´s most acclaimed gastronomic experiences. From the two-Michelin-starred refinement at The Yeatman, with its iconic view of Porto, to the authenticity of fresh grilled fish in the picturesque fishing village of Afurada. Living here means having historic Port wine cellars as your personal wine cellar and haute cuisine just a stroll away.
The Luxury of Breathing: With 15km of preserved coastline, the Canidelo and Madalena areas offer something rare in Europe: living with "your feet in the sand" just minutes from an urban center. The seaside promenades invite invigorating morning walks or sunset runs, always with the sound of the ocean as a soundtrack. This is where you´ll find the most exclusive properties in our collection.
Life on the Douro: For nautical enthusiasts, Douro Marina is the beating heart of river life. A sophisticated meeting point for sailors and enthusiasts, where you can moor your boat or simply enjoy a cocktail at the end of the day. The connection with the river is not just scenic; it´s an active part of daily life.
