Details – Hospitality, Sports, Leisure – has extended its portfolio of golf courses and resorts in Portugal with the addition of Tróia Resort.
The popular golf and lifestyle resort has become the tenth golf venue to be managed by Details, joining the likes of *Vilamoura Golf, PGA Aroeira Lisboa, Palmares Ocean Living & Golf, and Vale Pisão operated by Portugal’s largest golf management company.
Situated just an hour’s drive from Lisbon in the Alentejo region and surrounded by a unique ecosystem and an exclusive golden-sand beach, Tróia has been an established name in Portuguese golf and the leisure market for more than four decades.
Tróia’s wide range of facilities includes an 18-hole championship golf course and clubhouse, a 132-room five-star hotel, a 242-room four-star hotel, a conference centre, a spa and a variety of tourist rental apartments and private residential accommodation. In addition, there is a marina, a beach and sports centre as well as a variety of retail outlets.
Nuno Sepulveda, co-CEO at Details – Sports, Hospitality, Leisure – said: “With its amazing location so close to Lisbon and with a wide array of sports and leisure facilities – including three hotels – Tróia has huge potential and all the ingredients to help make this region a unique destination for golfers to visit in Portugal.
“The resort has fallen slightly off the radar of travelling golfers in recent years but its quality is without doubt, and we’re thrilled to have this opportunity to reposition Tróia not only at the forefront of Portuguese golf but as an exciting new sports hub to the south of Lisbon.”
Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Details will oversee the operation of the golf course, clubhouse and the three hotels – The Editory by the Sea, Aqualuz Tróia Mar and Aqua Luz Tróia Rio – adding more than 500 hotel rooms to the company’s portfolio. Norfin Group, which, like Details, is owned by Arrow Global, will take over the management of real-estate development.
Details will also take over running the beach and sports centre club, with a significant investment already being planned across the golf, accommodation and lifestyle amenities to elevate the guest experience being offered to all golfers and visitors.
Francisco Moser, co-CEO of hospitality at Details – Sports, Hospitality, Leisure – added: “Tróia stands out as a destination with extraordinary potential. The combination of beach, easy access, sports facilities, accommodation, dining, and leisure makes it a complete and highly versatile product.
“With a broad accommodation offer, the resort is well positioned to meet the needs of a diverse set of audiences: from families and active travellers to corporate groups. The MICE segment represents a strong opportunity and, thanks to its integrated infrastructure, Tróia is ready to host team-building programmes, business events and large-scale gatherings, all in a distinctive and inspiring setting.
“We’re confident that, under the management of Arrow Group, Tróia has everything it takes to establish itself just south of Lisbon as one of the most relevant resorts in Europe, both for leisure and for sport.”
Details – Hospitality, Sports, Leisure – is a prominent sports and hospitality platform wholly owned by Arrow Global, which manages a diverse array of tourism assets across Portugal. Its portfolio comprises 29 hotels and real estate projects, both operating and in development, including Tróia Resort. Under its sports and leisure pillar, Details oversees Portugal’s largest portfolio of golf courses and associated facilities.
