MICE: New Congress Centre Opens in Vilamoura, Portugal

The Algarve Congress Centre (ACC), one of the largest and most modern MICE facilities in Portugal, has opened next to Vilamoura Marina and the Tivoli Marina Vilamoura Algarve Resort.

After a EUR 10 million investment from parent company Minor Hotels Group, the new Algarve Congress Centre offers a selection of rooms and venues for events ranging from seminars and parties, to conferences, product launches and more.

"It is with great enthusiasm that we welcome the opening of the Algarve Congress Centre, which enhances the guest offering at Tivoli Marina Vilamoura, already one of the most prestigious five-star hotels for holding conferences and events in the Algarve, and also repositions the property as a key player in the MICE market, both in Portugal and Europe," said Jorge Beldade, Regional Operations Director of the Algarve region. "Combining a privileged location with specialised teams, this new venue maximises our reach and ability to organise any type of event, always maintaining the precision and excellence that our patrons have become used to."

The ACC features 22 rooms filled with natural light, spread over a total area of 7,050 square metres, with a total capacity for 3,000 people.

The congress centre includes a versatile plenary room, the Fénix, which features a 10-metre high ceiling and is divisible into up to six individual rooms, plus a 700-sqm terrace with 270-degree views over Vilamoura Marina and the Atlantic Ocean.

In addition, large terraces and a panoramic rooftop, totalling 2,600 square metres, promise to invigorate events with memorable views of the ocean, the beach and the marina.

The ACC is also equipped with the necessary infrastructure to support heavy loads, including loading and unloading zones and plenty of complimentary parking.
