Max Verstappen and his girlfriend Kelly Piquet have purchased a plot of land at the luxury development Pinheirinho Comporta in Portugal.
Daily Mail understands that the F1 star, 27, and model Kelly, 36, are planning to build a property here, after spending plenty of time in the sunny holiday destination.
Max’s jet was recently spotted at the airport nearby, and he spent time playing golf with his friends and relaxing on the beach at the exclusive UltraLuxe Pinheirinho Comporta resort.
This is the second year in a row the couple have spent their summer in the area, with Kelly often sharing holiday snaps with her social media followers.
Pinheirinho is a large coastal estate near Comporta, Portugal, known for its natural beauty and high-end development.
It features a blend of luxury residences, a championship golf course, and a resort and spa.

Beyond golf, the area offers opportunities for surfing, horseback riding, tennis, and other outdoor activities.
Other celebrity residents include Christian Louboutin, Princess Eugenie and visitors include Claudia Schiffer, Madonna and Harrison Ford.
Daily Mail has contacted Max and Kelly’s representatives for comment.
The news comes after stewards issued a verdict after Red Bull driver Max was placed under investigation for throwing a towel onto the track during Friday’s second practice session in Hungary.
The reigning world champion was seen discarding a white rag from his cockpit on the exit of turn three, only for it to land on the grass next to the track, triggering a formal summons from race officials.
Verstappen made a visible effort to throw the towel as far away from the racing line as possible, driving all the way to the right side of the track to dispose of it.
As such, the stewards adopted a lenient view of the incident, and allowed Red Bull’s star driver to escape with a mere warning.
Max welcomed his first child with girlfriend Kelly in May this year.

Max welcomed his first child with girlfriend Kelly in May this year
He announced the news on Instagram, sharing a slew of black and white snaps of their baby girl, whom he called the ‘greatest gift’ and revealed they had named her Lily.
Alongside the adorable pictures, he wrote: ‘Welcome to the world, sweet Lily. Our hearts are fuller than ever – you are our greatest gift. We love you so much.’
While Lily is Max’s first child, Kelly already has a daughter, Penelope, born in 2019, from her previous relationship with Formula One driver Daniil Kvyat, 30.
When talking about having his first child, Max previously explained he is already somewhat prepared thanks to Penelope.
The Dutchman said in the Talking Bull podcast : ‘Luckily I did get a little bit of training with Penelope, seeing her grow up already for like four years. Which has been also really, really nice.
‘But yes, for sure, when it’s like, also going be fully your own [kid]… Yes, it’s going to be a different challenge. But I’m looking forward to it’.
The couple began dating in October 2020, and announced that they were expecting their first child together last December.
Despite having a nine-year age gap, Kelly previously said that her relationship with Max is thriving because of the mutual understanding they have for each other.
Kelly, said: ‘I think we have a very healthy relationship, easygoing, we have a lot of understanding and support for each other.

‘You would think the age difference could be a challenge, but so far things are going really well.
‘I also really appreciate how he treats Penelope. It’s so sweet to see.’
The subject of marriage has been publicly addressed by Max, who said that only ‘time will tell’ if he and Kelly decide to tie the knot.
Kelly is the daughter of F1 legend Nelson Piquet, who won three Drivers’ Championships himself in the 1980s, though he was also embroiled in a racism scandal with Lewis Hamilton.
