A “newly established independent sports and hospitality management platform” will oversee the management of the Dom Pedro Portobelo, Dom Pedro Marina and Dom Pedro Vilamoura hotels, as well as the Old Course, Victoria, Pinhal, Laguna and Millennium golf courses.
The Dom Pedro Victoria course hosted the European Tour’s Portugal Masters between 2007 and 2022 and “saw victories for the likes of Open champions, Padraig Harrington and Shane Lowry, as well as England’s Ryder Cup stalwart, Lee Westwood.”
Aside from the Dom Pedro assets in Vilamoura, Details has also added Palmares in Lagos, Vale Pisão in Santo Tirso, and Aroeira (Pines Classic and Challenge) in Costa da Caparica, near Lisbon, to its golf portfolio, totalling nine courses.
The new management platform says that “golfers can expect further news in the near future regarding DETAILS’ enhancement plans.”
“We are very excited about taking our amazing properties in Vilamoura to the next level, not just in terms of improving and future-proofing our superb facilities, but ensuring our guests continue to create unforgettable memories,” stated Nuno Sepulveda, Co-Chief Executive Officer at Details.
“Since 2023, we have made significant changes to the sites – with sustainability at the core of those changes – and we are looking forward to sharing our world-class facilities with our guests,” Sepulveda adds.
Details also announced that its development plans include the creation of a state-of-the-art multi-sport facility alongside significant upgrades to Vilamoura’s existing equestrian centre.
Furthermore, Dom Pedro’s portfolio of hotels in Lagos and Madeira will also be fully operated by Details, which also manages the following resorts: Topázio Vibe Beach Hotel & Apartments (Albufeira); Vale D’Oliveiras Quinta Resort & Spa (Carvoeiro); Bertolina Guesthouse (Albufeira); Velamar Boutique Hotel (Olhos de Água); Aqua Pedra Dos Bicos Design Beach Hotel (Albufeira); Vale d’El Rei Hotel & Villas (Lagos); and Vale Da Lapa Village Resort (Carvoeiro).
“Details will have full management control of the assets with responsibilities ranging from CapEx planning and partner brand negotiation to HR and Sales & Marketing, as they aim to reinstate Vilamoura as Europe’s elite golf and leisure destination,” the platform adds.
