All the components of a strong overseas property investment are wrapped into the White Sands Hotel and Spa investment from The Resort Group.

Most overseas property investors today are looking for strong returns from reliable sources, and White Sands fulfils that criteria admirably.

As an investor looking at the potential income and capital growth returns from any overseas property investment, you should always consider the following when assessing precisely where to invest your capital:

1 What is the record of the developer?

2 What is the location?

3 Who is the Hotelier - and can they get the occupancy rates?

4 Do you trust the projected returns?

Let’s answer all those questions head on:

The developer – The Resort Group plc.

The Resort Group have, quite frankly, got a very positive and successful track record in Cape Verde for building 5 Star Resorts. A reputation they have achieved without borrowing any funds from institutions such as investment banks. What’s more, unlike some other overseas property developers, the company is extremely well capitalised, with a large, agreed, overdraft facility in place, none of which it has ever needed to draw down. The Resort Group are also in the enviable, and for overseas property investors, important, position of being the dominant developer in the Cape Verde Islands, which has contributed to their building a partnership with the world’s largest resort hotelier, which in turn makes them best placed to support occupancy rates.

The location – Boa Vista Island, Cape Verde.

The Cape Verde group of islands are situated in the Atlantic, directly to the West of Africa, and on the same latitude as the Caribbean, so holiday makers have all the benefit of a year-round warm climate, without the disadvantage of a long-haul flight or jet lag. Cape Verde is a group of ten islands, Boa Vista being on the eastern edge of that group, and like the other Cape Verde islands it is renowned for its spectacular, and seemingly endless, white sand beaches, year-round sunshine, with temperatures around 25°C to 30°C throughout the entire year. Most importantly, Cape Verde continues to be a growing destination for tourism, with flights to the Cape Verde islands increasing in numbers all the time, especially from Northern European countries.

The Hotelier – Melia Hotels International – the world’s largest resort hotelier.

When the Resort Group confirmed that Melia Hotels International had been appointed to run the White Sands Resort under their 5 Star Melia Brand, the overseas property investors who are familiar with the success of the brand were delighted that the project would benefit from Melia’s experience and dominant market position.

With White Sands comprising 835 luxurious properties, including duplex and penthouse suites, swim-up pools, suites with private gardens, and a range of beautiful private villas, including a full compliment of restaurants, bars, shops, luxury Spa, etc, the resort is ideal for Melia to market to its clients around the world, with particular emphasis on the consistently solid Northern Europe market.

The returns – up to 7% pa return for up to 4 years.

With most savers in the UK now getting returns of less than 3% on their savings accounts (FSA figures for 2012), and other interest rates being as bad, amongst the many overseas property investments available, the White Sands investment genuinely is an attractive and strong return for those seeking a good investment with a great degree of certainty. Plus: as already established, The Resort Group have a very good track record, and Melia Hotels are the biggest resort hotelier in the world.

This overseas property investment will pay a return on your investment from day one, starting at 3.25% up to 7% depending on the investment property you choose to purchase. This coupled with strong capital growth means you can have a level of comfort that your investment is working for your future the moment you choose to invest.
