At the beginning of Bom Sucesso Resort, the developer, Acordo, created several sales brochures to showcase and promote the project. These brochures vary slightly, depending on when they were printed, and they offer a fascinating look at how the vision of the resort evolved over time.
Thanks to Darren, Andre, Usha, Matthew and Erich, first homeowners at Bom Sucesso, we’ve been able to scan and archive a few of these brochures. The originals are beautiful, large A3 prints with high-quality materials. I’ve done my best to organize them in the order I believe they were released.
If you have other brochures, especially in languages we don’t have yet, please let me know! I’d love to archive them for the community.
If you only have time to check out one, I recommend Brochure V3 here. It’s one of the latest versions and gives an excellent overview of the original vision for Bom Sucesso Resort.
1. Sales Brochure V1
Format: A3 Horizontal, 12 pages
This appears to be the first version, as the resort map includes buildings that were never constructed. It looks like an early draft of the project.
- See the English version here
2. Sales Brochure V2
Format: A3 Vertical, 28 pages
This version still features the old Bom Sucesso logo. It introduces “Phase 3” on the resort map.

3. Sales Brochure V3
Format: A3 Vertical, 28 pages
This version uses the updated logo, with an elegant transparent print on the cover. We’ve found this brochure in three languages:
The German version features a house by Siza Vieira on the first pages, which wasn’t built. The Brochure might have been created later to promote sales of this model.
4. Sales Brochure for Bom Sucesso Golf Course
Format: A4 Horizontal, 30 pages
This brochure focuses on promoting the golf course.
- See the Portuguese version here
5. Sales House One-Pager
Format: A4
Salespeople provided potential clients with one-page Sales Sheet showcasing individual houses. These flyers highlighted specific designs and features of the homes and shows the floor plan on the back. Here are a few we’ve managed to archive so far:
