PGA Aroeira Lisboa, the only PGA National venue in Portugal, is set to continue a major overhaul of its golf and lifestyle facilities after partnering with world-renowned Italian fashion house Missoni to launch Aroeira Collections by Missoni, an exclusive residential and tourist project that will further enhance the golf experience at the iconic Lisbon resort.
Missoni’s first real estate project in Portugal, the proposed €200m development is scheduled to be completed by 2027 and comes during an exciting period of investment at PGA Aroeira Lisboa which includes the comprehensive upgrade of its two 18-hole golf courses.
WHAT WILL AROEIRA OFFER
At the heart of the ambitious project is the Aroeira Collections Hotel, which is poised to welcome both residents and visitors. Offering 138 one and two-bedroom apartments, the hotel will sit in the centre of the resort’s two championship courses – PGA Aroeira No. 1 and No. 2 – while future plans also include the building of a new clubhouse.
The development will also feature 40 two and three-bedroom apartments, 24 properties ranging from two to four bedrooms and 28 villas offering three to five-bedroom options in a move that is a major boost for Portuguese tourism and the local economy.
The project marks another step in solidifying Aroeira’s position at the forefront of Portuguese golf, which started in 2024 with the full renovation of the historic PGA Aroeira No. 1 course, originally designed by Frank Pennink. PGA Aroeira No. 2 – a Donald Steel course and former host of the Ladies European Tour which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year – is being upgraded this summer with works including all tee boxes and bunkers.
In addition, the resort’s commitment to sustainability is being reinforced with the installation of state-of-the-art irrigation systems on its courses, as well as using drought-resistant Bermuda grass across the 36-hole complex with a view to drastically reducing water consumption.
OFF THE COURSE
Continuing this ethos, the real estate project follows a sustainable approach with endemic plant species utilised in landscaping and no new earth brought in, embracing ESG principles and aligning with the EU Taxonomy for sustainable activities.
Beyond golf, residents will be able to enjoy access to a health centre, two pools, tennis and padel courts, a restaurant, children’s play area, and 24-hour reception, encapsulating a complete and elevated lifestyle.
Nuno Sepulveda, co-CEO at Details – Sports, Hospitality, Leisure – PGA Aroeira Lisboa’s management company, said: “This development continues the transformation of PGA Aroeira Lisboa which began with the significant course renovations. It is an incredibly exciting time for all involved and the project will take the golf and resort experience to a new level of elegance, comfort and excellence.”
The development is a collaborative effort with Norfin SGOIC, a leading company in real estate investment management in Portugal, offering a unique coastal enclave that presents a secluded haven on the southern edge of the Costa da Caparica. This pristine stretch of golden beaches and dramatic cliffs along the Atlantic Ocean forms the backdrop for Missoni’s debut in the Portuguese real estate market, providing an idyllic setting for luxury coastal living that integrates Missoni’s renowned design with Portuguese architectural excellence.
The sales launch began this month and construction is due to start later this year, with the hotel expected to be completed by 2027. For more information contact sales@aroeiracollections.com.
