The existing 280-room property, located in the Algarve in the south of Portugal, is currently operating as Tivoli Victoria and boasts views over the Arnold Palmer designed Oceânico golf course. The hotel is close to the ocean, marinas and the beaches of the Algarve, which is well known for its spacious, airy rooms and shady verandas, directly overlooking the golf course, and the cerulean blue swimming pools.
Discerning travellers would be immersed in centuries-old Portuguese culture and traditions, with a wealth of local experiences, world-renowned Portuguese and Mediterranean cuisine, and indigenous spa treatments drawing on healing traditions dating back to the Roman times.
In advance of the spring rebrand, parts of the resort would receive a soft refurbishment, which would include the main lobby, the gym and the new children’s facilities.
A new luxury Family Suite category would be launched, with capacity for up to four guests. For shared holidays with family and friends, most rooms are interconnecting. The rooftop, Two-Bedroom Anantara Suite would boast a huge terrace, with private dining area and its own Jacuzzi and sundeck.
Guests can dine at the EMO Restaurant and terrace, where they would be able to enjoy the richly diverse local cuisine, infused with the spices and seasonings of Portugal’s overseas discoveries in the 16th century. Additional dining options include Sensorial and Bartini, with both restaurants offering Mediterranean fare and afternoon tea. For guests looking for Asian cuisine, they can enjoy sushi at the infinity pool and Vietnamese rolls in the Aqua Pop Up Bistro.
The family-friendly ambience is to be designed by World Wide Kids Company and would begin on arrival with children’s own check in and welcome treats. Babies and toddlers would be pampered with their own dining area, personalised meal plans, play areas and activities.
The spa would be rebranded to Anantara Spa and those with time would be able to relax while overlooking the endless, undulating golf greens. To complement the spa, guests can include yoga and Tai-Chi sessions in their holiday.
Anantara Vilamoura would offer the perfect settings and venues for all types of events – from weddings to product launches and from intimate dinners to large scale conferences. The stand-alone Conference Centre has the capacity to welcome up to 800 people in its eight versatile rooms.
Dillip Rajakarier, CEO Minor Hotels, Anantara’s parent company, commented, “We are thrilled to announce our first Anantara in Europe, which is a real milestone for the brand. Since our recent expansion into both Europe and South America with the acquisition of Tivoli Hotels & Resorts, our strategy is to bring our existing brands into these new regions of operation and the launch of Anantara Vilamoura in Portugal is the first part of this plan.”
