Hotel Dona Filipa and Penina Hotel & Golf Resort Enter a New Era with Management Restructure

 11 June 2025
The iconic Hotel Dona Filipa in Vale do Lobo and Penina Hotel & Golf Resort in Portimão are entering a new chapter, marked by a dynamic change in management and a renewed focus on golf tourism. These two historic Algarve properties – long recognised as premier destinations for golf travellers – are poised for revitalisation, bringing a fresh strategic vision and a firm commitment to elevating the guest and partner experience.

Under new leadership, both hotels aim to reaffirm their status as world-class golf destinations. Manuel Baltazar takes the helm as General Manager of both properties, alongside Gisela Almeida as Director of Sales and Marketing. Together, their experienced leadership and deep market insight signal an exciting new era for these resorts.

With renowned championship courses on the doorstep – San Lorenzo Golf Course and Penina’s Sir Henry Cotton Championship Course – the properties are perfectly placed to grow their share of the global golf travel market. The management team is committed to enhancing every aspect of the golfer’s experience, from high-quality facilities to tailored marketing and strategic partnerships with the international golf tourism trade.

Both hotels are set to strengthen their position at the forefront of Algarve’s golf tourism.
