The name anticipates both the location and the concept behind Grupo Arliz’s new development on the island of São Miguel. Located next to the Chapel of Nossa Senhora de Belém, in Ponta Delgada — the main urban, economic and administrative centre of the Azores — Domus Belém is positioned as a premium residential development, distinguished by its penthouses with private pools and spacious sea-view balconies.

Featuring clean lines and a contemporary architectural language, the project, designed by the renowned Lousinha Arquitectos and rendered by Luppa Architects, comprises 32 apartments spread across six floors, including the ground floor: ten one-bedroom apartments, ranging from 74 m² to 115 m²; twenty two-bedroom apartments, ranging from 94 m² to 139 m²; and two exclusive two-bedroom penthouses, measuring 232 m² and 233 m².

All units include one or two private parking spaces, located across two underground parking levels, including spaces adapted for people with reduced mobility. The development also features bicycle parking, landscaped communal areas, while the ground-floor apartments benefit from generous private terraces.

In terms of comfort and functionality, the apartments feature a lift, built-in wardrobes, fully equipped kitchens with integrated appliances — induction hob, oven and combination microwave, fridge-freezer and dishwasher — as well as a heat pump and air conditioning. The two penthouses are further distinguished by private swimming pools extending across the full width of the building.

“Set within an established urban environment that is undergoing significant growth, Domus Belém represents a unique opportunity for those looking to live in a peaceful area, with all amenities close at hand and just minutes from the sea,” says Assuntemfoco, the company responsible for the development and part of Grupo Arliz.

The development enjoys a privileged location, close to some of the region’s main beaches and natural swimming areas: just two minutes from Forno da Cal bathing area, four minutes from São Roque Beach and Ponta Delgada Marina, six minutes from Milícias and Pópulo beaches, and less than twenty minutes from Caloura.

Around ten minutes from João Paulo II Airport and within easy reach of Ponta Delgada’s historic centre, Domus Belém offers excellent accessibility and quick, efficient connections across the island. The surrounding area provides a wide range of essential services, including schools, supermarkets, local shops and green spaces, making everyday life more convenient and functional. The area is also served by sports facilities and outdoor leisure spaces, encouraging an active and balanced lifestyle.

“Given its privileged coastal location and the range of layouts available, Domus Belém is expected to appeal to young couples looking for modern, well-located homes; families who value peaceful surroundings and proximity to schools and educational facilities; Azorean emigrants who recognise the exclusivity and quality of the development; expats seeking a retreat in the Atlantic; and investors attentive to the asset’s potential for capital appreciation,” adds Assuntemfoco.
