Already one of the country’s most iconic golf venues, PGA Aroeira Lisboa has moved a step closer to being transformed into one of Portugal’s premier golf destinations following another exciting year of investment.
Twelve months after the 36-hole resort – a two-time host of the Portuguese Open and the only PGA National in Portugal – completed a comprehensive overhaul of PGA Aroeira No.1, its younger sibling has undergone a similar makeover, with Donald Steel’s classic design reopening to widespread acclaim in September.
PGA Aroeira No.2 has reopened following a major four-month refurbishment programme and is the latest upgrade to be unveiled by the resort, with further investment set to include a new clubhouse and the completion of the Aroeira Collections by Missoni real-estate development that is set to reposition PGA Aroeira as the best golf destination south of Lisbon.
Situated 30 minutes from Lisbon in the beautiful Costa Azul region, PGA Aroeira enjoys a rich and glorious past and further good times lie ahead for the resort, which is set among natural pine forest and features two 18-hole championship courses – PGA Aroeira 1, which hosted the Portuguese Open in 1996 and 1997, and PGA Aroeira 2.

The layouts were already good, but significant recent investment overseen by Details – Hospitality, Sports, Leisure – has taken the golfing experience to a new level, with both courses the subject of comprehensive maintenance improvement programmes to enhance course conditioning and the course experience being offered to members and guests.
In addition to significantly improving the golf facilities, further investment will include the launch of a new clubhouse between the two courses and the opening of Aroeira Collections by Missoni, an exclusive residential and tourist project in partnership with the world-renowned Italian fashion house.
At the heart of the ambitious development will be the Aroeira Collections Hotel which, set to open in 2027 and offering 138 one and two-bedroom apartments, will sit in the centre of the resort’s two championship courses and be a major boost for Portuguese tourism and the local economy.
