By careful consideration the resort has been laid out to create natural or enhanced buffer zones so as to balance the need for accessibility against privacy. In contrast to the S. Martinho valley entrance which leads to a more public waterfront recreational activities; zone F will be developed more densely yet in sensitive urban style so as to act as a buffer between the potential urban sprawl of Praia an the Golf Resort, with the aim of providing more affordable residential / commercial units. In addition a 200 metre naturally landscaped buffer zone along the north side of the main boundary road of the whole resort will also be developed with the aim of safe guarding the resort exclusivity. In Contrast the golf resort with its various styles / sizes of residential units, golf courses, and clubhouse and conference hotel facilities will be accessed via its secure entrance thus managing the degree of privacy and control necessary to protect such special places yet allowing outside access to those that wish to invest in this experience. The introduction of villas along the fairways provides the integration and lifestyle demanded today of the golf villa investor balanced against a choice of smaller affordable residential units around their own residential clubs. The architectural character of the various resort centres will be a mix of three distinct styles within the principle areas that reflect the indigenous character, with historical references and bold colours that will create a balanced style within the Cape Verde environment and make a special place to remember. Santiago Golf Resort is a spectacular and beautiful setting, surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery, enclosing intimate valleys and ravines. It is this intrinsic quality which will be enhanced and developed to create a world class resort community and golf course. The landscape will be enhanced as and where appropriate to its surroundings that blend with the fertile nature of the land. Natural areas will be protected and maintained to provide an indigenous character. Areas adjacent to built development will have extensive planting of lush native species that are naturally sustainable in their environment.
