VILAMOURA, Portugal — Vilamoura’s most prolific and discerning visitors—golfers—will welcome recent renovations bringing heightened elegance and sophistication to the Hilton Vilamoura, one of the region’s preferred hotels, adjacent to the legendary Pinhal Course.
Celebrating its 18th anniversary in 2025, under the stewardship of sports management company DETAILS, part of Arrow Global Portugal, the Hilton Vilamoura has received a complete transformation resulting in a significantly enhanced guest experience within proximity to the recently rebranded world-class Vilamoura Golf courses.
Nuno Sepulveda, Co-CEO of Sports and Leisure at Details – Hospitality, Sports, Leisure, said: “For golfers looking for comfort and quality both on and off the course, the recent upgrades at Hilton Vilamoura offer just that – in a location right at the heart of golf in the Algarve.”
Complementing the neighboring Pinhal under the Vilamoura Golf canopy are the esteemed Old Course – the Grande Dame of the Algarve, which has stood the test of time as the region’s second oldest course, which ranks among the best in the continent – alongside the decorated Millenium and Laguna Courses lined by umbrella pines with strategic bunkering and lakes. All have recently undergone their own upgrades, and a brand new Els Club – Europe’s first – is also due to open in Vilamoura this summer in what promises to be a new era of sports and leisure within the region.
Miguel Afonso dos Santos, General Manager of Hilton Vilamoura, said: “Celebrating 18 years is more than marking a successful journey—it’s honoring a legacy of hospitality, innovation, and excellence that are part of Hilton’s DNA. This renovation reflects our ongoing ambition to exceed expectations and provide truly memorable experiences.
“It also acknowledges the commitment and dedication of our entire team, whose passion for service makes Hilton Vilamoura a place where comfort, sophistication, and the authenticity of the Algarve uniquely converge.”
Hotel renovations extend across guest rooms, apartments, swimming pools, dining areas, the lobby and conference suites, with the refurbished, modernly designed apartments ensuring maximum comfort, matching the luxury that the updated courses exude, combining the perfect golfing retreat with an idyllic place to unwind.
Aquarela Restaurant offers an all-day menu, while Cilantro Restaurant pays tribute to Mediterranean cuisine with a selection adaptable to different tastes. Rubi bar provides a unique cozy ambiance, offering snacks as well as new open sandwiches, burgers, and pizzas, along with a range of signature and classic cocktails.
For golfers looking to combine their passion for the sport with quality time as a family, Hilton Vilamoura now offers even more reasons to make it their retreat of choice. The new main swimming pool and enhanced Kids Club area create the perfect setting for shared moments and lasting memories beyond the fairways.
A covered area for birthday parties and creative activities adds further to the family-friendly appeal.
Children can also learn and have fun in the hotel’s organic garden, where aromatic herbs are grown for use in the resort’s three restaurants – an engaging way to introduce younger guests to the value of mindful eating and sustainability.
With these thoughtful upgrades, Hilton Vilamoura sets a new benchmark for golf-friendly luxury resorts in the Algarve – a destination where both families and golf lovers feel equally at home.
For more dedicated players, tailor-made packages offer the flexibility to shape a personalized stay: from the number of nights to preferred tee times across Vilamoura’s celebrated golf courses, everything can be adapted to suit the group’s rhythm and expectations.
