At the ceremony marking the beginning of construction, Jordi Vilanova, President of Mercan Properties, announced the group’s commitment to enhancing tourism in the Algarve, with an investment of €107.8 million in two new hotels: the Lagos Marina Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton, and the Hilton Garden Inn Lagos.

The development will transform the area near Lagos’s old railway station, which will be preserved as part of the architectural plan. The five-star Lagos Marina Hotel will feature 180 rooms, including suites, and luxurious amenities such as infinity pools, a spa, and a rooftop bar. The Hilton Garden Inn, a four-star property, will offer 90 rooms and suites equipped with kitchenettes, catering to a more practical and versatile guest experience.

Lagos Marina developments

During the event, Hugo Pereira, Mayor of Lagos, emphasised that this investment would help drive year-round tourism, addressing seasonality by offering a variety of attractions beyond the traditional sun-and-beach appeal. Lagos aims to draw visitors interested in golf, water sports, cultural heritage, and more. The construction phase is expected to create around 150 jobs, while the full operation of the hotels will provide 188 permanent positions in the region.

This is one of many investments by Mercan Properties in the Algarve. The group has several other projects underway, including the Hard Rock Hotel Algarve and the Marriott Lagos, with a total regional investment of close to €400 million. Vilanova noted that Portugal has become an exciting new destination for American and Canadian tourists, offering a blend of history, culture, and leisure, further setting the country as a premier travel golf destination.

Hilton’s involvement in these projects underscores the growing importance of the Algarve as a luxury tourism hub, attracting high-profile international brands.

Tee Times Golf Agency fully supports these exciting developments at Lagos Marina, as they align with our mission to offer the best in luxury accommodations and exclusive packages. With these new Hilton hotels, we are able to continue providing top-tier options for our clients who seek unforgettable Portugal Golf Holidays.
