Only a four hour flight from the UK this island offers the perfect destination for a "get away from it all" holiday home that can be used in both the winter and the summer with a tropical climate of between 19 and 30 C all year round. Until recently the only way to access Porto Santo was from Madeira but this summer flights have started from Gatwick and now Stansted with Easyjet. The landscape is similar to Tenerife and is called the "golden isle" full of warm shades of brown and yellow in total contrast the the lush and tropical vegetation of its larger neighbour Madeira. These two island compliment each other beautifully. There has been a substantial donation of EU monies to both Madeira and Porto Santo in the last few years. Both islands boast golf courses and offer many different watersports including windsurfing, water skiing and diving.

Although Aquavista does not currently sell property in Spain, many of our clients have previously owned property in Spain and we feel it important to get this news to them: From the Sunday Times - 13/4/08: THOUSANDS of Britons who profited by selling property in Spain between March 2004 and December 2006 could be owed a 20% tax rebate from the Spanish government. Refunds could total more than £50m, according to a Spanish lawyer, and translate to about £11,000 for each claimant. The European Commission has ruled that Spain contravened European Union legislation by charging foreign non-residents a higher rate than Spanish nationals. Those who sold a home before changes to the rules last year were charged the Spanish nonresidents’ tax rate of 35% on any capital gains instead of the Spanish flat rate of 15%. About 4,500 British people, plus thousands more in other European countries, can now try to reclaim the difference, plus interest, from the Spanish authorities. Emilio Alvarez of the firm Costa, Alvarez, Manglano & Associates, is helping them to reclaim their money. He has already helped around 70 UK customers file a claim, he said. The currency specialist HiFX said at a conservative estimate, Britons are each due £8,300 in overpaid capital gains tax. Add to that interest of around 6% from when the tax was paid and those who made gains on Spanish property could be owed almost £11,000. “A change in the law at the start of 2007, which saw the standard capital gains tax for non-residents being brought in line, passed by largely unnoticed,” said Alvarez. “This tax trap is thought to have affected hundreds of thousands across Europe and in the UK. Although a final judgment on payouts could take years, Alvarez said those affected need to put in a claim now to avoid falling outside the four-year registration period.

See the IAGTO website www.iagto.com IAGTO is the global trade organisation for the golf tourism industry and these IAGTO Awards serve to award a few exceptional contributions to the golf industry. The Awards also serve to encourage private and public sector organisations to work closely together in the development of new and existing gold destinations. On receiving the Gold Destination of the Year for Europe, Ali Sahin, Director of Golf at the Cornelia Golf Club and IAGTO Turkey Chapter Chairman said "We are very proud and happy to win this award. The award means we have acheieved something because we have worked very hard over the last 10 years. We started off with just one course in Turkey and we now have fourteen. Over the next two or three years there will be about 30 courses throughout Turkey" The golf courses in Turkey are stunning. The greens are beautifully kept and are all designed by leading European golfers, Nick Faldo being one of them. Aside from the actual courses the Club houses are majestic and luxurious and cater to your every whim. The Turkish pride themselves on their hospitality and this can be found in abundance at all their golf courses. The green fees are reasonable and with the wonderful weather golf can be enjoyed all the year round. Property prices are still sensible in Belek, the prime golfing location with twelve golf courses, and here you will find beautiful beaches and wonderful restaurants and hospitality and being only twenty minutes from the airport at Antalya makes it an ideal destination for golf and leisure. 03 Apr 2008
