New Luxury Development ‘Springs – At the Els Club’ Launched in Vilamoura
A new exclusive residential project has been launched in the Algarve, named Springs – At the Els Club. The development features a total of 78 luxury tourist residences, including villas and semi-detached houses, all boasting privileged views of The Els Club Vilamoura. This golf course is the first of its kind in Europe under the Els Club brand and the first private golf course in the region, bearing the signature of world golf legend Ernie Els. The project, managed by Vilamoura Lusotur SIC, part of the Norfin Group, aims to deliver five-star resort-level services and amenities to its residents.
The project’s specifications detail two distinct architectural concepts: Cluster Units and Row Units. The Cluster Units consist of 17 three-bedroom (T3) villas of 158 square meters, five T3 duplexes of 165 square meters, and seven four-bedroom (T4) villas of 221 square meters. The more vertically designed Row Units include 39 two-bedroom (T2) duplexes of 137 square meters and 10 T3 duplexes of 162 square meters. All residences are designed to a high standard, featuring private terraces with swimming pools, exclusively used landscaped gardens, private parking, and access to reception and concierge services.
To enhance the quality of life for its residents, Springs – At the Els Club will include a comprehensive country club. This facility will house a restaurant, a fully equipped gym, an indoor swimming pool, a spa, and tennis courts. A standout feature is the inclusion of a ‘lazy river,’ a unique leisure water feature for the Algarve, designed to provide a relaxing space for families. Henrique Rodrigues da Silva, Chief Operations Officer of the Norfin Group, stated in a press release that the project represents “a true affirmation of quality and exclusivity, which reinforces Vilamoura as a destination of excellence in southern Europe.” He added that it was “designed to offer the highest standards of construction, prioritizing design, technology, sustainability, and the careful selection of materials.”
The development is closely integrated with The Els Club Vilamoura, a partnership highlighted by Nuno Sepúlveda, Co-CEO of Details, the platform managing the golf club. He noted that an “exclusive club for the owners” will be established, offering unique benefits and dedicated events. “It is a rare project – and by ‘rare’ I mean unique – in Portugal, which combines lifestyle, sport, and a sense of community,” Sepúlveda remarked. This exclusive access is expected to be a significant draw for the international golf community and discerning property buyers.
Ana Damásio, Regional Sales Manager for Vilamoura World projects, also commented on the launch, emphasizing that Springs “will elevate Vilamoura as a reference destination in southern Europe, particularly within the golf community.” She expressed confidence that the project’s blend of family-oriented living and exclusivity would attract many families seeking a new home in the Algarve. The development is strategically located to offer both seclusion, being surrounded by nature, and convenience, with the center of Vilamoura, the marina, and exclusive beaches just a few minutes away.
The project is being developed with a strong focus on quality and creating a unique lifestyle experience. The financing arrangements and investment partnerships for the project have been secured, ensuring its progression. Regulatory approvals and planning permissions have been obtained from the local municipality, allowing construction to proceed. The project is expected to have a positive local economic impact, creating employment during its construction phase and beyond. Pre-sales activity has reportedly been strong, indicating significant market interest in this type of luxury offering in the Algarve.
