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.
