Every time we wake…
We wake up, every morning, with the desire to interact with you… flick through some of our pages and be enthralled by the unseen images we unveil in this issue. From Bengo to the Regional Nature Park of Chimaleva; from the Kalandula Falls, of the River Lucala, to the wonders of the creeks running through Angola, see how there are more than enough reasons to show this country to the world. Angola is enthralling. Travel and follow our recommendations. And, in the end, rest assured that we will have to bring you even more. Happy reading!

Along the roads of Angola 

Time and time again, we stop just to reflect on the beauty of nature. Other times, just to have a good chat, a wonderful laugh or a moment of introspection. On this journey, we find ourselves reflecting on the paths we have travelled in this warm land that is Angola, and we reach the end of another issue of V&G in the knowledge that the world is so immense and that we, social, rational and (at times) emotional beings, are just a ‘little speck’ wandering around. Always in search of happiness. In this issue, we wander along paths full of life, stories, features and places that fill our souls and make us feel more alive. The essence of the earth. We took to the roads between Luanda and Malanje. We experienced the smells, the laughter, the villages, rich in natural landscapes, and the lives of so many, who live with so little but show so much happiness. We returned, a few years having past, to the Kalandula Falls, and how magical they still are! A true luxury in the form of water. We spent the night in the Pousada facing the falls and listened to the deafening sound of the falling water. We visited Aldeia da Meia, where our hearts were filled with love. Here, out of nowhere, lives are renewed. We smiled, played, hugged and photographed moments that will mark us for life. We went to the vastness of the Black Rocks of Pungo Andongo... What a striking beauty it is to see rocks the size of the ‘world’. And so, we created another beautiful issue of V&G. Along the roads of Angola. 
Happy reading!


The brown earth, at times red, the blue sea, the starry sky, the power of the moon and the joyful days continue to seduce us with each passing day. As does our delight with every issue of V&G that is published. We’re still in love. With the land and with the people. We paint the horizons in so many colours on our pages. And it is with colour that each work by Angolan artist Bolondo Mbongo fills our souls. It is with colour that we present the exquisiteness of different places, such as Egypt, Six Senses Uluwatu Bali, Valverde Santar Relais & Châteaux, Stuttgart and the Aro Ha Wellness Retreat. And it is the green of the grass that colours the stunning scenery whenever we play golf – a sport that is on the rise in the country and which is currently in the hands of Almir Soares as the president of the Angolan Golf Federation. We continue to experience the scents, flavours, sounds and colours of Angola. That’s why we tattoo our pages with stories. And we ascribe meaning to what moves us. And we try to bring you, dear reader, the scent and the colours of life.

14 years with (and for) Africa

14 years ago, we began our journey across the warm lands of Africa. We arrived in Angola determined to make a difference. And we have. The years have passed and we have stuck to the same philosophy and values as always. We have challenged ourselves with each issue to ensure distinctive content. We’ve made history, we’ve told so many more stories, and in each interview and subject we’ve chosen, we’ve endeavoured to show our readers the best of what’s being done on this continent. And, you know what, we want to keep making a difference. That’s why, in this 14th anniversary edition, we have spoken to 14 business leaders from the most diverse areas of activity. The result can be seen on the following pages. Men and women, managers of their businesses, who share their testimonies with V&G and who, like us, put a lot of themselves into their work, their day-to-day lives... for themselves, for their companies, for people and for Africa. That’s why celebrating 14 years, together with those who continue to read us, and together with those who make the issues happen – partners, friends, the editorial and creative team -, is a source of pride. Because sharing our story, giving a voice to so many personalities, is what defines us best. We chart paths, reflect on memories, record events, consider the words of our interviewees and experience nature at its fiercest on every trip we make. 
In all this time, we’ve always wanted to surprise you. We hope to do so again in this 14th anniversary edition. Come away with a pleasant memory of us. Long live stories, culture, travelling and the good things in life. 

Sometimes we become numb to the hectic and eventful days we endure, which incessantly provoke in us the desire to want to show others that we are well and happy, even though this is not always the case. We know that this is common to all of us. For this reason, we invite you to listen to the wise words of septuagenarian Albina Assis, who brings with her a vast history of Angola, posts of great importance, such as Minister of Oil or State Adviser, while representing the country at various Expos, as National Commissioner, and who will be at Expo 2025, in Japan, as Commissioner-General. And while we're on the subject of history, learn all about the 30-year history of Banco BFA and the business experience of Kanda Kassoma, who represents Vista Alegre Angola. And feel Africa with you, in the works of art by Guizef Guilherme, who has African women as his main subject. You can also travel back to the 60s/70s with the Laurie Anderson exhibition, in Sweden, an international icon in avant-garde art; or visit Spain and see sculptures by Pablo Picasso at the Picasso Sculptor. Matter and Body exhibition. And because we should feel happy all the time. And reading helps a lot. Browse through the texts for the inspiring places that will make your days deeper and more meaningful, leading you to dream about the trip you need, the spa you deserve, the restaurant you want to add to your list, the house of your dreams. If you have time, take a trip to Mangais Golf Resort for a round of golf and also revisit, in this edition, the best moments from the last Villas&Golfe; International Cup. 
Let’s not live life in such a daze, leaving no time for ourselves. Let us live the best experiences, whether through thoughts, feelings or personal achievements, because, as Fernando Pessoa said, “the sweetness of the past? Our memory of it, since to remember it is to make it present”.
Happy reading. 

13 years, 13 women 
Thirteen years ago, we launched the Villas&Golfe; magazine in Angolan. For many, it was seen as a bold move, by others as a challenge. It was a challenge?! Today, 13 years later, we know that it was worth every effort, every moment shared with Angolans, every trip we made to every corner of this country, every person we met along the way and every friendship and bond we forged, because that’s what Angola is all about: it knows how to welcome you. After 13 years, the man behind this project, Paulo Martins, still sees Angola as a growing and prosperous country, as does our entire team, which works with the aim of showing the best of the country and its people. We celebrate our 13th anniversary with 13 magnificent interviews with 13 Angolan women from sectors, such as aviation, education, medicine, the motor industry, the media, the environment, sport, the oil industry, social projects, architecture, law, fashion and music. Delve into this issue with its feminine spirit and carefully read each message that these women have passed on. Then, feel the V&G universe in each of the other international features presented herein. Celebrate the magazine’s 13 years with us and stay with us for those still to come. 
Happy reading!

Feel Angola

With the smell of warm earth, and embracing nature at its purest, in these pages we bring you people, places where we have been and unique projects. We tread this soil, of warm people, of faces that mark destinations, of stories that stay in our memory. We begin with the words of the Ambassador of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea in Angola, Protasio Edu Edjang Nnaga, who takes on a tour of the history of his country and the path taken until it joined the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP). We continue with Tecnovia, a company working in construction and public works, in a narrative through the eyes of the CEO, Ricardo Santos. We head down the road to the province of Cuanza Norte, where surprises await us as we fill our lungs with fresh air and get to know the Fazenda Irmãos Chaves project – a rural tourism resort which has everything it takes to become a place of choice in the country. We unveil the canvases and the soul of Cristiano Mangovo, a native of Cabinda, who has made a name for himself by taking his gift to the Temporary Exhibitions Gallery of the Angolan Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai. And as art is a portrait of life, in this issue we have also included the Europa Oxalá exhibition, which brings together 21 European artists with origins in the African colonies, on show at the main gallery of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon until August 22. Among so many other reasons we might have to travel, read and live, it is good that we remember that it is through people, through land, through history, through experience, that we become better people, even if the world shows us realities we never expected. Happy reading!


This year, we have gained new powers, new ways of being and of getting things done. We rediscover new worlds. In this issue, we talk about architecture, about those who design and think it; about art and antiques, about those who look at and care for them... and we travel the world: we went to Fiji, an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, surely a idyllic destination you’ve already dreamt of; we wandered through the most bohemian quartier of Paris and took a break in the charm of the small Hôtel Particulier Montmartre; we hopped over to Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, in Italy, where a round of golf hit the spot; and we enjoyed some soothing moments at the Carrossa Hotel, Spa & Villas, in Mallorca, Spain, a five-star hotel whose history began 300 years ago. We have given our lives another meaning. That’s why, in this issue, we wanted to show you this universe of art and international architecture, through the eyes and sketches of those who create it, and some leisure gems, for a well-deserved break. The world has reinvented itself. And so have we. For this reason, we have designed a very international issue and take you to know places of peace, as if it were a collection of memories to take with you for life. ‘All aboard!’ for this trip. Let’s sail with Ferreti Yachts 920, rediscovering worlds.

Each journey has a ‘there and back’
«The good thing about the journey is that there is a way back. For coming without going, time is enough» - Mia Couto. The good thing about doing what we like is felt in every publication we produce, because we feel proud of our work, of our people and of those who also fill our pages. The good thing about the journey is knowing that there is always a way back, a return to our origins, to our family, to our world, after travelling through distant lands. And it is in the comfort of your home that we want you to read every morsel of this journey we have prepared for you, and we want you to go, even if only in thought and desire, to all the places we have told you about in the articles in Inspiring Places. And remember that it will be «softly, softly, as if calling to you», that, in the heart of the mountains, the Bagatelle Courchevel restaurant will be waiting for you, where you will feel like you are touching the sky. You can also follow the journey of a great adventurer, Diamantino Martins, who has travelled the world; or become enchanted by the natural landscapes of Stromberg-Schindeldorf, in Germany, and play a round of golf at the Land&Golf; Hotel Stromberg; and, if you are still not convinced, discover the journey taken by Swiss watch making brand ORIS, which has mapped out a path of quality and timelessness. Finally, walk on the plains of Singita Serengeti House, where the contagious energy will root you to the earth. And end this round-trip journey on one of the Maldives’ atolls, Laamu Atoll, where there will be no shortage of reasons to want to go there and back again. Because, after all, «for coming without going, time is enough». Happy reading!

2020 Retrospective 
The virus took mankind by storm. Silence ensued. The streets emptied, people could no longer embrace each other, and the world changed. We have experienced a 2020 of lockdown, fear, hope and struggle in the extreme. Our outlooks all became bleaker, around the globe. Plans were put off and dreams were left for another day. It is true that the today’s reality is different, but we must carry on living. And live to the full! So, for this issue, we wanted to fill your «heart» with emotion, with extraordinary people and places. We talk about serious matters, listening to voic- es from the worlds of medicine and science, and we lis- ten to the «heart» of Manuel Antunes, one of the leading figures in the world of cardiothoracic surgery. And it is with the voice of our «heart» that we take you to dream destinations, to get you excited and so you can pack your bags... and, in 2021, set off on a journey, to discover and feel emotions around the world. Stop at St. Michel Re- sort, in Cornwall, and enjoy a calm and relaxing holiday; or head off to the Maldives and stay at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island luxury resort, on a dream trip, in an idyllic location; or choose to connect with the Earth on the shores of Hoi Na beach in Vietnam and enjoy some deep relax- ation at the Four Seasons The Nam Hai, Hoi Na, Spa; but if you don’t feel fulfilled enough, lose yourself in the «sum of all the arts», in the El Ataneo Grand Splendid bookshop, in Buenos Aires, and live a wealth of culture. And, of course, let your «heart» flutter with emotion in 2021.

«Luxury» is a word used to segment things. The difficulty lies in using the word and knowing how and when to use it. In actual fact, what might be luxury for some, might not for others. If, for some, it is a cause for envy, for others it is a cause for admiration, for dreaming or even an illusion.
But what defines luxury real estate? Is it the price?
An expensive house might not be a luxury house. In Portugal, a house costing five hundred thousand Euros and above was once considered a luxury house. However, with the increasing value of real estate and the ongoing interest in our country, the bar has risen to at least one million Euros. If, in some countries, a house can be considered luxurious from 100 million on, the sky being the limit, in Portugal, the parameters are more modest. The demand for exclusive luxury properties in prime locations has increased significantly with the increase in foreign investment. Luxury resorts, villas and apartments, from the Algarve to the Minho, have become even more sought after by national and foreign investors, with other locations standing out thanks to the property boom, including: Lisbon, Oporto, Cascais, Braga, Guimarães, Aveiro, among so many others, all of which have become luxury hubs.
Portugal has entered the spotlight of the world, through tourism, Golden Visas, quality of life, security and climate, which are essential when it comes to demand.
Although there are changes related to the coronavirus pandemic, luxury remains, and increasingly so, space, privacy and security. As such, we will see a demand for farms and estates, in the country’s inland regions and in areas bordering large cities, which will increasingly represent luxury. In this issue, we bring you some projects and people who work in this segment – that of exclusive luxury.
Luxury real estate will increasingly be in demand and the world won’t be able to take its eyes off Portugal, thanks to its situation and its quality.
Pure and simple... 

«I have all the dreams of the world in me,» Fernando Pessoa said. I dream of the busy days of routine; of tight hugs; of smiles on faces; of people I haven’t seen for a long time; of simple touch; of day-to-day life free of all evils; and of the Villas&Golfe; team united in the interests of their work. Because that’s why we continue to strive and disclose the best of both worlds. 
There has never been anything like the moments we are experiencing at this time. But are we not all responsible for the weaknesses of the world?! We put this question to you as a form of reflection. Let us learn lessons from all that we have been through. We will observe the world with more calm and unity. And we, right here, spread the words of those with us in this issue of the magazine. From economy to communication; from science to politics; from culture to luxury, we bring you some of the leading names, among which, António Correia (part of the founding team of Banco Único, in Mozambique, and its current CEO); Paula Francisco (Minister of the Environment of the Republic of Angola, whose main challenge is environmental education and awareness raising); Nuno Malide (considered scientist of the year in 2019 by the media in Austria); Daniel David (the face of free and independent media in Mozambique); Selma Uamusse (the Mozambican gospel voice, who has been gaining in strength and expansion). In these quieter days, leaf through our pages even more and read all about the cultural and lifestyle world that we have reserved for you.  
Happy reading! 

We walk together towards a new year, new projects and new desires. Here’s to 2020! Sometimes, around here, it seems to us that everything has already been said and done, that we already know the colours, the smiles, the landscapes, the traditions and the African spirit by heart. But we don’t. There’s always so much more to discover and reveal. Time flies by and we remain here, on African soil. There’s still so much to get through. So many places to visit. Talents to promote. Flavours to taste. And conversations to have with locals. One year has passed by. Another one is just around the corner. And here we all are, as one, ready to continue walking.  
Behind us lies a yearning for our friends, with whom we have not been able to share as much of our time as we would have wanted, for our travels, for our comings and goings and, ahead of us, there lies the desire that we may come to achieve every missing piece.  
For all these reasons, let us welcome together a new year, a new issue of Villas&Golfe;, especially dedicated to Mozambique – a fertile and passionate land, of stories and conquests and of incomparable aromas and colours. Let us praise the country and the world with good things, telling you about here, the world about Africa. Along with the content characteristic of the magazine, in this issue we focus on luxury, wellness, glamour, art, golf, people and their intrinsic beauty.  
Determined, happy and prosperous, let us raise a cheer again; ever fuelling our dreams, beyond what is possible or imaginable for us.   
Happy reading!


With keen eyes, we see a developing world, fertile land, people of the land and the stories of the people behind the economic growth of a country. In this issue we’re talking about Angola in particular, when we show you the work done and the path yet to be trodden in the transport sector. We climb aboard at the Port of Luanda, catch a lift with a candongueiro, glide down the tracks of the railways and fly on the wings of TAAG to the most beautiful corners of the country. We stop off in magical places, such as Pululukwa and Mangais. We sit down to talk to Angola’s Transport Minister, Ricardo Viegas D’Abreu, and set off on an unforgettable journey with Pride of Africa - Rovos Rail, a luxury tourist train. We listen to the musical talents of Paulo Flores, C4 Pedro and, to top it all, we take a tour of the globe through our lifestyle features. Find time to take this all in. Happy reading!

The grandeur of the world is infinite. It is a blue planet where wishes are woven, and it is where lines and horizons cross that dreams are built and the difference is made. We all, in one way or another, construct life projects – some architectural, some design related, others leisure – and, then, there are those that remain in the drawer of utopias. However the most important thing is to build the foundations of life.
Some people start reading from the back pages first. We don’t know if you have this habit. But if you don’t, we set you the challenge of calmly leafing through the pages that follow this editorial devoted to architecture projects, design, real estate and resorts. A special issue to discover, which begins with the words of octogenarian José Forjaz – an unavoidable name in African architecture. The same is true of Victor Leonel Ragot, current president of the African Union of Architects (AUA), who tells us about the «little time» he has for creating architecture, and about the «difficulties» in reconciling the wishes of 42 countries. In the midst of so many projects, allow yourself be whisked away on the journey that will take you to the mysteries of the silverback gorillas in Rwanda, and long live nature and peace.
Happy reading and may you have many discoveries!

As we capture the time of Moira Forjaz, the photographer; of Albino Mbie, the musician; of Roselyn Silva, the designer; of Mário Macilau and Mauro Pinto, photographers, among other names, the world spun at a rapid speed, and we collected more testimonies to share in issue no. 53 of Villas&Golfe; África. Life is what you make of it. This is so true that, of all the people we listened to, of all the life stories, any one of them could have turned out so differently if at the right time the right choice had not been made. Some chose the pleasure of a camera flash going off, others preferred to enchant the world with the sound of their music and others still chose to design and take African pieces to the world of fashion. They are all great travellers. Each in their own field. Each one in their own time, but always capturing the best moments. Are they competitive? Perhaps they are. Are they capable? They have already proved that they are. Are they strong? Of this there is no doubt. Each of them has proved to be successful in their professional lives. And, of course, they still have many more challenges ahead of them. Each of them is seeking to improve the world, and so do we, to ensure time is not just recorded in memory. It is also with harmony and balance, as beacons that serve as a reference to anyone that is part of these pages, that we invite you on a Villas&Golfe; trip to Mauritius. Happy reading!

Magic has no fixed abode. It belongs to everyone. It is in each of us, and only we can pass it on to the world. Just as all places have something distinctive or a story to tell, we have a lot of magical moments to show you in the pages of issue no. 52. Such as the streets, the destinations and the people, who, in one way or another, we just have to know, or the places we have to travel to at least once. For it is with the ochre and golden hues, of African soil, that truly contrast with the deep blue shades of the sky and the sea of ​​the rest of the world, that we bring our readers an issue marked by unique personalities and idyllic scenarios. With the magic of time, we introduce you to the wine project of Mário Rocha – CEO of Antarte Mobiliário, which enjoys a strong presence in Angola –, where the wines of Herdade da Rocha have left the most pleasant aromas in the air. Also, with the magic of time, and always well assured, we conversed with Paulo Bracons, CEO of Saham Angola Seguros. Following our suggestions, why not take out some travel insurance, and head off and discover Slovenia or relax at the Tief Spa, in the city of Oslo, Norway? All you have to do now is choose. Because life is what we make of it. And the magic of time is in us!

As the future is the road to follow, while always looking at the present – which brings us so many good things and provides us with so many challenges –, we look forward to so many other days, filled with knowledge. And in this issue we bring it with us: the knowledge of those who lift the food essential to human life from the earth. We tell the story of Fernando Teles, founder of Banco BIC, in Angola and Portugal, who is now dedicating himself more to farming, in different parts of the world, as the quest for self-sufficiency is one of his priorities. For this citizen, as for so many others, economic and financial crises are not a problem, rather a challenge. And we all strive to walk towards the future when we think of a more prosperous tomorrow. So, let’s go slowly along the roads of Bordeaux and taste the best it has to offer us: the wine, the picturesque lanes, the aromas, the architecture, the monuments and the fine food. Fill yourself with positive energy, from afar, when you spy the Svart Hotel, in Norway, which looks more like a diamond ring. Between sleep and dream, trek through the African savannah, watch the stars in the sky and unwind at the Lion Sands Game Reserve, in South Africa. Then, bring back the collection of African artworks of artist José de Guimarães in your luggage. Listen closely to the classical and erudite sound of the violin played by the hands of Russian Ianina Khmelik. And enjoy the work of art of Arnold Palmer whenever you step on the grass of Victoria Golf Course, in the Algarve, Portugal. And, free of constraints, sail on the Azimute 60 towards the future.

To talk about Africa is to talk about an exciting continent. It’s talking about safaris, lions, giraffes, smiles... It’s talking about so much, so much even, that you lose track of what you’re talking about. It is talking about the third largest continent in the world. It is talking about one of the largest natural havens. Africa is located in each of Earth’s hemispheres: Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western. It is cut through by the equator and the Greenwich Meridian. There are 55 countries in this continent. It is big. Very big. It is large, not only in size, but also in riches, such as culture, tradition, nature, landscapes, history and people. For all these reasons we want to reach, with Villas&Golfe;, more African countries. We want to get our message across, show our effort and our dedication. We want to cross borders, countries and territories. Introduce new places, new people, new challenges. We want to continue exploring the plateaus, getting to know local cultures and making a difference. This is and will be the continent of great opportunities. Opportunities for growth clear for everyone to see. Tourism is already part of this evolution, as are so many other businesses. We want to keep on writing for you. So in this half century issue, No. 50, we bring you one of Africa’s refuges – Avani Victoria Falls Resort – in the Republic of Zambia, a veritable paradise close to Victoria Falls. Also, on the other side of the world, New Zealand awaits you – a dream destination, where landscapes do the talking.

From warm, humid African landscapes, to the warm summer hues of Europe, take your pick of climates, but get ready for your Easter holidays and make the most out of every destination. In every city and country, both landscapes and the climate will provide you with moments of comfort. If you choose Europe, with its mild temperatures, it will be very pleasant to stop off in Marseilles - the second largest city in France, embraced by the Mediterranean -, neither too hot nor too cold. Then, if you want to take a step closer to paradise, in the middle of the tropical rainforest, in the Caribbean Islands, enjoy the Ladera Resort, where temperatures hover around 24º C. But if it is an African destination you want and if you plan on climbing Africa’s highest mountain, then choose a trip to Tanzania – considered the cradle of humankind – where the humid tropical climate and the beauty of nature will amaze you. Each of these places will always be attractive. In Africa, you can count on sunny weather and pleasant temperatures; in Europe, in Portugal, for example, you can enjoy summer-scented temperatures, with the refreshing breeze of the Atlantic, this coming spring. Dream of tropical destinations, dream of European destinations, dream of natural destinations, but, above anything else, dream how you should make them come true. Take a close look at our pages, which, this time feature the words of Sónia Patacão. She who is a «Citizen of the World» and who has a background revealing African roots. Happy reading!


Ding-dong, ding-dong, ring the bells. Presents! Reindeer! Warmth! Cold and snow (in some parts of the world)! Christmas is almost on us. Let the heavens and the earth rejoice. May we live in peace, with love and prosperity. May the stars shine every night. May the cold turn your home all the cosier. May the warmth lead you to enjoy unforgettable moments, either through travels, or, simply, on home turf. Africa is warm. Its people even more so. Unique. And, as such, the arrival of Christmas is always special. It is possibly the time of the year that holds the most emotions for us, because its moments will live on forever. May we not waste the time we have; one of our wishes. Awaken the Christmas spirit in your heart. Christmas is coming and with it comes the promise of a new life. Make all your dreams come true. Remember that this year was made of joy, challenges, achievements and conquests. Reflect. Learn. Light up the life of those you love. Because the best thing in life is to live it intensely. This year, it was a pleasure to be able to count on you and to have you with us in every issue. And for this issue, we bring you the story of Albino da Conceição, former Minister of Youth and Sports, who, for more than 20 years, was in politics, and now fills his time with the arts – recently he exhibited Reflexos, at the Nuno Sacramento Contemporary Art Gallery, in Ílhavo, Portugal. But, we bring you so much more than this. See for yourself!
And have a Merry Christmas!


Every day is a new day for us, just as every new issue of Villas&Golfe; is another conquest. We respect roots, we take long treks, we observe lifestyles and we discuss serious issues, always from a balanced perspective. We’ve never been alone on this long journey. We’re joined by a free spirit. And so, in this issue, we take a look at 38 years of power of José Eduardo dos Santos – Angola’s president since September 1979 – and at his successor João Lourenço – who won the presidential election on August 23. But we have so much more to show you: a trip to Prague, a city with gothic, renaissance and modern architecture; a cosmopolitan setting to rest in one of the classic wonders of the Algarve, Portugal, the Anantara Vilamoura; and the Greek goddess of calm seas – the new Bentley Continental GT Galene. And we also have news of magnificent moments of the Villas&Golfe; International Cup, held in the south of Portugal, last August. Happy reading!

Without any qualms of guilt, we can dare to say that we can’t do without comfort and pleasure when thinking about wonderful things in life. We assume that we are entitled to them. And we are. You just need to want them! 
In this new issue, we fill pages with images of a country that is developing; with travels where «space, time and peace» will make you feel comfortable, in Cempedak, in Indonesia, in which the beautiful surroundings are the main attraction; or indeed with a golf destination, Las Colinas Golf & Country Club, where the green of the valley and the vastness of the sea await new visitors. If the dream involves a Rolls-Royce Sweptail, there’s still relaxing in the heart of the tropical forest of the Tabacón Thermal Spa and thinking of it as your own. Always make your quest comfort and pleasure!


Inspiration is what we are all looking for whenever we think about giving life meaning. Sometimes it’s not easy. We feel almost impotent. Other times it appears as if from nothing, from where we least expect it, and, in instants, there’s a flash and everything changes. The act of writing itself strives for moments such as these. When we write for you, and so many others, as they concentrate on their words, which later give rise to a book, yearn for inspiration, as happened with our interviewee in this issue – Júlio de Almeida. He wrote the work Vaicomdeus, SARL, originally launched in 2001, in Angola, and today, 16 years later, at the age of 76, it is now being published in Portugal. 
Take a tour of the world, by reading, learning of the culture of destinations through unique travels. If you need, stop off at an old country mansion, such as the one near the town of Monemvasia, in Greece, and relax at the Hotel Kinsterna, now housed within it. Draw inspiration from the olive groves, from the vineyards and be thankful of life. Because inspiration is what we all need!


There’s no lack of words with us. Our world awakes, each day, with new places and adventures to share with you. We hunt out the best of subjects and people to fill our pages. In this issue we tackle subject matters such as geology and mining, the arts, palates, fashion, luxury… Another issue made with the same dedication as ever. Learn about the latest literary work Informal Economy – The case of Angola, written by Francisco Queiroz, which deals with various economic notions, applied to the Angolan context. 
Find your balance in the Ayurveda Parkschlösschen Spa and Hotel, in the valley of the Mosel River, in Germany. A veritable ‘sanctuary’ of ayurveda (one of mankind’s oldest medicinal systems). Come and discover it! But not before you fall for the charms of Mother Nature in Malanje: beautiful sunsets, the stunning scenery of the Kalandula Falls and the Musseleje Falls. In this issue, there’s no lack of reasons to surrender.

Another year has started. Once again our wish is to share our features with you, and, as Leonardo Da Vinci once said, «time abides long enough for those who know how to use it». In this issue 43 we focus on the concept of ‘made in Angola’, through the words of our interviewee António Henriques da Silva, who tells us about the institution he represents – Apiex; we also listen to Max Alier, who gives his views on the role of the IMF in the country; through talking to Malé, we discover the importance of the recent creation of Golf Federation in Angola; and kudos to the Raízes Cruzadas project, by Paula Tavares, with success beyond the confines of Angola. In this first issue of the year, look out for the comprehensive coverage of the memorable Villas&Golfe; events as part of celebrating 15 years of the international publication. Among the events to remember, we highlight the grand final of the Villas&Golfe; International Cup, which took place at Troia Golf, in Portugal. Delight, once again, in the stunning images contained in these pages. Dear reader, delight in life, make the most of time and make it memorable.

In this issue we celebrate seven years of Villas&Golfe; magazine serving Angola. The pages are long with interviewees, wonderful themes, fascinating travels and a sophisticated lifestyle. Time has flown by. But, people have been recorded in our pages forever. In this anniversary issue, we join Villas&Golfe; with the legend of Angolan music, Big Nelo. We invite you to take your time as you read this... Major interviews, features, reflective, cultural pieces, short timeless stories… This is a luxury magazine. In every sense!

We’re back! With unique words and striking images, we’re back with you once again.  In this issue, we return with wonderful features and other more serious ones. From banking, interviewing Fernando Pereira, to the insurance industry, care of Paulo Bracons. At the same time, we highlight the nation’s culture, represented here by the Currency Museum. And stories are what culture is made of, ensuring the Julu Theatre Group’s position as one of the oldest stage presences in the country. Through the group we reveal one of Africa’s oldest traditions – the courtship rituals of alambamento. We draw inspiration from the most stunning landscapes, when we travel to Gstaad, one of the most iconic towns in the southwest of Switzerland. We do indeed slow down, to rest at the Lodge Kapembawé, in Baía Farta, a place surrounded by the African savannah. But we put our foot down when we think about visiting the BMW Museum, in Munich, where the relics of the brand are a vision to behold…

With an issue packed with luxury, in its simplest form. There is always an ostentatious side, and another of simplicity. 

We are this – simple –, but proud of our work. We begin with questions, and this time it’s Ricardo Viegas de Abreu’s turn to answer them. He likes doing things! And we do too. 

Many! In the poetry of the arts, we find the stunning Palácio de Ferro, a building, which possibly carries the name of Gustave Eiffel. 

We head off to Madagascar, on an irresistible scenic journey. 

And we stop to take in a deep breath! Later we arrive in Indonesia and here, with a view of the turquoise sea, we make the most of pleasure between earth and sea. 

And we kick back and relax! Before hitting the road once again, in a centennial classic, the BMW Individual Series 7 The Next 100 Years.

In our view, the theme this issue, it must be said, is associated with a sense of splendour and grandeur, especially considering it is one of Angola’s brightest treasures – the diamond. Some see it as a luxury and excessively ostentatious, while others, like us, regard it as a symbol of lightness and culture. Semantics aside, we invite you to wander through the precious pages we have created for you here. Explore the variety of content freely, never neglecting its innovative nature. A perfect diamond. An issue not to be missed. As Samuel Johnson once said «Praise, like gold and diamonds, owes its value only to its scarcity».
