Nicole Kidman and husband Keith Urban are among the Hollywood elite reportedly making their way to Portugal.
According to local Portuguese media outlet Notícias, the Academy Award-winning actress, 58, has submitted an application for residency in the country and intends to spend extended periods there.
The on-screen legend was reportedly seen disembarking from a private jet in an affluent area of town.
She is believed to be acquiring a property in Portugal’s upscale CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club.
Nicole is reportedly scouting homes in Cascais, an exclusive members-only luxury enclave less than 100 miles from Lisbon.
One resident complained, ” It was the Worst decision ever to build this. I used to visit the beach here, and now they have blocked the access.”
Another echoed: “Very sad what was done here.”
A fourth argued: “Costa Terra: a private playground for millionaires who arrive by helicopter, dine with private chefs, and bulldoze everything that made this coast real. Public beaches? Locked down. Protected land? Flattened for golf courses. Local communities? Pushed aside and priced out. ‘Eco-luxury’? A cruel joke dressed up in greenwash.”
One individual lamented, “It’s just terrible. They destroyed this beautiful place trying to privatize the area and then… Nothing… At least give us the camping back; there’s space for everyone.”
Another local voiced their concern, stating, “I don’t believe they are blocking the whole beach. Locals can still access it from the residential side, where the houses are, or from the campsite, but I don’t like where this is heading; therefore, I will not support this. That’s why I’m giving it 1 star as this is bad for the locals.”
However, some showed their support, with one person writing: “Best place ever. The company is creating hundreds of jobs for locals. Preservation and sustainability are key there.”
As reported by the New York Post, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have already secured a home in Lisbon, Portugal’s capital.
D’Aria pointed out another hotspot that “has become very popular for celebrities and high-end clientele,” which is the Algarve, the southernmost region of Portugal. According to Fox Business, the hotels in the area “are spread out, giving you that space and privacy away from prying eyes.”
Nicole and Keith first met in January 2005 and got engaged in May 2006, a little over a year later. Just one month later, they tied the knot in a June 2006 ceremony in Sydney, Australia.
The couple are parents to two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14.
