Construction is already underway on the new hotel of Quinta da Boavista – Empreendimentos Turísticos SA, under the aegis of the Emerson Group.

During a presentation ceremony to official bodies and partners during the summer, architect and project manager Luís Nóbrega explained this will be a hotel “that reinforces Quinta da Boavista’s vision, ambition and commitment to the quality tourism sector. It will be developed in two distinct phases and have 500 beds spread over 242 rooms and eight suites”.

The four-star hotel will come with two restaurants, a conference centre and a wide range of wellness facilities – including a covered area with a jacuzzi, Turkish bath and sauna, as well as a modern gym.

The existing 18-hole championship golf course, designed by renowned golf course architect Howard Swan, is also seen as an additional attraction for future guests.

As Nóbrega outlined, the new complex will also leverage the completion of the sports area in the south of the resort, boasting an outdoor multi-sports court, two tennis courts, four padel courts and a children’s playground. “We’re also going to reinforce the sense of family that Quinta da Boavista wants to promote,” said Luís Nóbrega.

The project has a scheduled soft-launch for the spring of 2027 and has been welcomed by both Turismo de Portugal and Lagos Council.

“This is a strategic investment for the municipality of Lagos as well as the wider region. It will not only boost the local economy by creating jobs, but also by attracting new visitors. It will reinforce Lagos’ position as a stimulus of excellence, where nature, authenticity and innovation go hand-in-hand. We are convinced that we are taking an important step for the whole community,” concludes Nóbrega.
