The area’s roots trace back to 1575 when the intrepid Portuguese explorer Manuel de Perestrelo first sighted this breathtaking coastline. He named the bay "San Francisco" to honour the patron saint of sailors and to evoke the spirit of his own hometown, Santare´m, in Portugal. Centuries later, in the 1970s, when developer Leighton Hulett expanded the footprint of St Francis Bay, Santareme was born as a dedicated coastal district. To honour the old Portuguese connection, strict aesthetic codes were put in place, mandating a stunning Mediterranean and Sardinian architectural style characterized by soft, earthy tones and classic tiled roofs.
