This model appeals to a discerning clientele that values not only property ownership, but also a lifestyle associated with an elite brand, often including access to spas, exclusive restaurants, 24/7 concierge services and rental management programmes for owners.

Kronos Home's experience in Portugal is a testament to the potential of this concept. There, the developer has developed iconic projects such as those of the W Residences Algarve or the Savoy Residence in Madeira, setting a standard of quality and exclusivity. The potential extension of this model to Spain would build on this strong track record and Kronos' ability to identify strategic locations and partner with top luxury brands.
