About Vale do Lobo

Our history

Founded in 1962 by Trusthouse Forte plc and Costain plc, both well-known multi-nationals, Vale do Lobo was the first development in the Algarve.

It had a huge impact, as it was only after the establishment of Vale do Lobo, Dona Filipa Hotel and our first golf course that Faro International Airport was opened.

The next chapter began when Sander van Gelder, a Dutch entrepreneur, discovered Vale do Lobo during a holiday in the mid-1970s. Recognising its potential, he bought the resort and moved to Portugal in 1977.

Then, in 2006, Vale do Lobo entered a new era when it was bought by a group of investors including Portugal’s largest bank, Caixa Geral de Depósitos.

Recently, it has become part of ECS Capital, Portugal’s largest investment fund, and is set to continue life as the largest luxury resort of its kind in Portugal, recognised as one of the best resorts in Europe.

A	Anil Dattani on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Played at the oceanic golf course. Lovely golf course with a challenging second mine especially when the ocean breeze gets strong
T	Tiphaine Lev on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Worst customer experience ever: we cannot pay online because their website encounter countless errors. Once arrived on site we have to wait in a queue for 35 mins, the girl at the counter makes you pay for a buggy even though you didn’t ask for it. Then I cannot accompany the player because I don’t wear a poloshirt, this is written in a little sentence on the website so if you don’t read every little sentence then you cannot play / walk on the course. Don’t go there, there are plenty of golf courses with way better customer experience than these jokes.
R	Roelof Vogelzang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful golf course. Lots of challenges, but not too difficult. Driving range was a bit disappointing (up to iron 9, no more). Nice views from the restaurant terrace.
J	Jane Race on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The service at Spikes has really gone down hill since our last visit before lockdown, and the staff at the proprietor's club are not helpful for villa owners and rude on social media. They were no help at all during lockdown when UK owners couldn't visit their homes. A lot of the best restaurants have gone out of business or left. Ken Lo's Memories of China, La Place to mention a few. Barringtons has been left to rot and makes the neighbourhood look very shabby. The service has declined rapidly over the last twenty years. They are still using noisy quad bikes for security when Quinta do Lago have very sensibly moved on to electric cars. Vale do Lobo need to up their game or more people will sell up. It isn't the luxury resort it used to be!
P	Paul Kirkup on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I played the Ocean course and was a little disappointed. The greens just didn't seem to roll well and a lot of the holes seemed to be slotted in amongst real estate. Some really good views on those holes running down to and along the sea though.
K	Ken Weary on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Whether you are looking for a vacation, staycation or a new home in the Algarve you should consider Vale do Lobo. We lived here for almost two years and loved it. The community is ideal for families and groups of all sizes. It is safe, quiet, and dog friendly. There are loads of activities to do as well. The beaches are amazing and the 36 hole golf course is pristine. There are also restaurants, bars, mini golf, walking/jogging trails, a spa, a pharmacy, and much more. There is also a grocery store located just outside the grounds. We will certainly return.
M	Meditation Relaxing Music on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great position, big rooms with all modern conveniences. Good service, first class reception staff, wonderful food selection and quality. Comfy bed highly recommended
P	Prateek Malhotra on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lovely resort with amazing facilities and restaurant options. The apartment we got was thought out to the smallest detail, we received a basket with essentials. The apartment, resort and beach were very clean and the staff was always accommodating and helpful. The free shuttle bus service that ran throughout the resort 24/7 made it easy to get around the resort, from the beach and restaurants. Would definitely come here again, but would book the apartment with a jacuzzi as it was too cold to use the private pool in November.
