Anantara to Take Over Luxury Resort in Portugal

Thailand-based Minor Hotels Group has signed its first Anantara hotel in Europe.

The Anantara Vilamoura Algarve Resort in Portugal will join the brand’s portfolio in April 2017.

The Algarve is one of Europe’s favourite up-market resort destinations. Located in the south of Portugal, just 15 minutes from Faro International Airport, the existing 280-room property is currently operating as Tivoli Victoria and boasts views over the Arnold Palmer designed Oceanico golf course.

The hotel is close to the ocean, marinas and the beaches of the Algarve and is well known for its spacious, airy rooms and shady verandas, directly overlooking the golf course, and the cerulean blue swimming pools.

Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels Group, said, “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.”

In advance of the spring rebrand, parts of the resort will receive a soft refurbishment, including the main lobby, the gym and new children’s facilities will be added.
