Date: 10/12/2009

The Vigia Group, owners of more than 2000 hectares in the western Algarve, have announced exciting new plans to extend further their already sizeable investment in the region. Vigia, which offers for sale and to rent a wide variety of luxury properties in Portugal including Algarve villas, golf villas and beach properties, has announced plans to launch a number of new projects across its eight luxury resorts including a 5 star hotel and new golf courses at Parque da Floresta, its flagship resort.

Shareholder and new CEO Barry Bateman, was happy to discuss details: "With the full support of our shareholders, we plan a multi-million investment in some very exciting projects across our eight resorts throughout the region. Investment we believe will help elevate the Vigia brand and enhance the quality of our product offering."

With plans for a luxury hotel and a new championship golf course at Parque da Floresta, Vigia hopes to extend the appeal of the award-winning resort and the unspoilt charm of the western Algarve beyond the traditional markets of Scandinavia, Germany, France, UK, Holland, Spain and Portugal to emerging markets like Asia, Africa and the Americas.

Leonor Ramalho, recently appointed General Manager of Vigia Resorts, added: "These new facilities will complement our existing offer at Parque da Floresta which include an 18-hole par 71 golf course, an excellent football academy, tennis courts, crown green bowling and numerous outdoor heated pools. Not to mention the eight on-site restaurants and bars."

Billed as one of Europe’s most picturesque golf courses, Parque da Floresta is set amongst rolling hills, golden beaches, timeless fishing villages and unspoilt countryside of the western Algarve. Bordering the Costa Vicentina National Park, the imaginatively designed golf course is the centre piece to the resort.

With no two holes remotely similar and measuring 5,712 metres from the white tees, the course features varying holes running along valleys, past eucalyptus covered ravines, flanked by olive, palm and pine trees, with a variety and appeal that’s endless. The addition of a new course, with other courses to follow, will only help to enhance Parque da Floresta growing reputation amongst golfers the world over.

With significant plans and investment in the region, The Vigia group are determined to build on their reputation as the leading developer of high quality properties and resorts in the western Algarve. Source: AlgarveMais
