After a valiant effort captaining the Portuguese football team in the 2022 World Cup, quick-footed Cristiano Ronaldo revealed he’s to expand his property empire in Portugal.
He revealed an expansion to his property portfolio in partnership with hotel group Pestana. The project in question is a £43million apartment complex in his native Madeira.
The work will start in the second half of 2023 and will be home to 88 brand new apartments in Praia Formosa. This is the first real estate partnership between the footballer and Pestana, following hotel partnerships in the past.

Madeira property market
Compared to mainland Portugal, house prices in Madeira are affordable. There’s a huge market if you’re willing to renovate a property. While you will have to put your hand in your pocket, it could really pay off and you could have your very own dream house.
In recent years, the real estate sector has grown between 10-20% annually and with big investors like Ronaldo returning to the island, we can expect interest and tourism to rise.
To give you an idea of what’s already available in Madeira, we’ve chosen 5 homes that are available right now.
If the link doesn’t work, the property has likely sold, however the features, plot size and price should give you a good idea of what you can get for your money on the island of Madeira.
