Construction on the Herdade da Aroeira Hotel Will Finally Begin

18 September 2017

The highly anticipated hotel in the Herdade da Aroeira, located in the municipality of Almada, will be built. Saraiva + Associados authored the project.

The future hotel will be located on a plot of land with an area of 14,878 square meters and will consist of a cellar, and two above-ground floors, with a total of 70 rooms The exterior of the new hotel will be entirely in wood, to better blend in with the surrounding landscape.

The ground floor of this hotel will host all of the services that the hotel will make available, in addition to having 33 guest rooms.  These include a swimming pool, fitness centre, meeting room, restaurant, lounge bar and terrace for enjoying the scenery. The upper floor will consist of the remaining 37 hotel rooms.

The project’s masterplan also envisages the construction of a future congress centre, whose multifunctionality will create a perfect symbiosis with the surrounding leisure facilities.

The development will be carried out by Gabriel Couto, who has been responsible for the execution of several hotel projects built in Portugal, “which demonstrates the trust that investors in this market niche have been unequivocally depositing in our competence”, stresses Carlos Couto, CEO of Gabriel Couto.

Located 25 km from the centre of Lisbon and only 600 meters from the beach, the Aroeira hotel development will be integrated into a luxury condominium composed of differently sized residences, where two 18-hole golf courses stand out. Herdade da Aroeira is situated in the middle of a 350-hectare preservation area, with a few thousand pine trees and cork oaks, characteristic of this coastal zone, which together with the existing lakes provide a temperate microclimate for the locale.
