Accor has taken over the management of Victoria Golf Resort & Spa on southern Portugal’s Algarve coast. The 260-room hotel, just a 30-minute drive from Faro International Airport in Vilamoura, is now Victoria Golf Resort & Spa Managed by Accor.
The property will be managed by Accor under a white label while it undergoes a comprehensive property improvement plan. Upon completion, Victoria Golf Resort & Spa will be rebranded as a Fairmont property, its golf facilities and natural surroundings complementing the wider Fairmont Hotels & Resorts portfolio. Accor will ensure a seamless transition and integration of Fairmont’s signature brand markers, complemented by touches that celebrate the property’s local culture.
The property is home to four restaurants, bars and pools each, plus a spa with six treatment rooms, a gym, kids club and direct access to the neighboring golf course. Rooms and suites are split between two wings and all have private balconies. Unique conference spaces, with a capacity to host up to 700 guests, offer facilities and a range of tailored services for meetings and events.
Accor operates more than 35 hotels in Portugal across a diverse array of brands, including Sofitel, Novotel, Mercure, ibis Styles and ibis, as well as Ennismore’s Mama Shelter.
Vilamoura is known for its beaches, golf, marina and casino. Wineries, olive groves and fleur de sel fields are easily accessible, too. Guests interested in local exploration can cruise around the legendary Ria Formosa islands and encounter unique ecosystems as fishermen harvest oysters, clams and other local delicacies. Nearby Loulé is a hilly region with ancient ruins and a local market and The Seven Hanging Valleys Trail, ideal for hiking excursions.
