fishermen. It was only after the establishment of Vale do Lobo, its |
|||
“five star” Dona Filipa Hotel and the first golf course, that Faro |

|||
International Airport was opened. |
|||
Sander van Gelder, a Dutch entrepreneur, discovered Vale do |
|||
Lobo during a holiday in the mid 1970s, and recognising its |
|||
potential, he bought the resort and moved to Portugal in 1977. |
|||
Over 30 years later, Vale do Lobo has transformed into a 450 |
|||
hectare self-contained community offering endless facilities and |
|||
services in a unique location. |
|||
Towards the end of 2006, the resort was sold to a group of Portuguese |
|||
and international investors, including the largest national |
|||
bank Caixa Geral de Depósitos with successful Portuguese businessman |
|||
Diogo Gaspar Ferreira takes over as the Chief Executive. |
|||
The sale clearly marked the beginning of an exciting era. |
|||
Under the new shareholder structure, Vale do Lobo initiated a |
|||
strategic “face lift” in 2007 implementing a number of significant |
|||
improvements, developments and plans for international |
|||
expansion. The most significant being the initiation of a €500 |
|||
million investment programme for the development of two prime |
|||
areas in the resort: Oceano Clube (Vale do Lobo II) and Vale |
|||
Real (Vale do Lobo III). |
|||
At the beginning of 2008, Vale do Lobo initiated a strategic programme |
|||
of rebranding and the resort was renamed as Vale do |
|||
Lobo Algarve and integrated under the umbrella of a new brand |
|||
of Vale do Lobo Resorts, the first move towards future international |
|||
expansion. This also included the construction of a brand |
|||
new entrance to symbolise the corporate objectives and the creation |
|||
of a modern corporate identity to replace the old resort |
|||
logo. |
|||
Vale do Lobo Algarve is recognised as one of the foremost resorts |
|||
in Europe and is today the largest luxury resort of its kind in |
|||
Portugal operated by the same company. Indeed a luxury experience |
|||
beyond comparison, one which has earned it world-wide |
|||
recognition and a special place in the heart of countless visitors |
|||
and residents. |
