Whilst NOT mentoning the also here discussed Aman-Comporta-project.
The Estero Santa Barbara project in Mexico is also mentioned with Gathy as architect.
By the way and off topic, Gallivanter also rumors about a 2009 opening of Aquapura Itacaré (formerly Ex-Russ-Meyer-Actress' Annouska Hempels Warapuru-project) in the cocoa zone of Bahia, Brazil. And about a 2011 opening of Aquapura Cearà on Brazils atlantic coast. Very promising design sketches of both properties are shown on
www.aquapurahotels.com.
Just spoke with an Aman person who says it looks like all 3 Portugal properties will go ahead. He knows all 3 sites very well.
The Aquapura Brazil properties are not rumours - they are happening.
