Open All Year...Vale do Lobo was the first development in the Algarve. It was founded in 1962 by Trusthouse Forte PLC and Costain PLC, both well-known multi nationals.

Hotel Overview

Vale do Lobo was the first development in the Algarve. It was founded in 1962 by Trusthouse Forte PLC and Costain PLC, both well-known multi nationals. At that time the Algarve was mainly inhabited by farmers and fishermen. It was only after the establishment of Vale do Lobo, its five star Meridien Hotel Dona Filipa and the first golf course, that Faro Airport was opened.

Whilst looking for a holiday home, Mr Sander van Gelder, a Dutch entrepreneur, discovered Vale do Lobo, saw its potential and took over Vale do Lobo in 1977. As the new proprietor, his vision has helped develop the resort into a unique haven. Vale do Lobo is approximately three times the size of the Principality of Monaco. Residents and visitors are attracted by the resort's self-contained community together with its range of exclusive properties and excellent facilities and services. With continuing investment and improvement over the years, Vale do Lobo, has maintained its position as one of the foremost luxury resorts in Europe. It is now the largest luxury resort in Portugal.

Location

Vale do Lobo is located on Portugal's central Algarve coastline, an unspoilt area with year round sun and a rich local history. The resort is located just 20 minutes drive from Faro International Airport, which is accessible from most major European cities in less than 3 hours. Lisbon, the Portuguese capital city, and Spanish city of Seville are around 2.5 hours drive away.
