Brand New Golf Resort in Penina

Penina Golf Portugal

Published on

La Meridien Penina, a Golf Resort near Portimao will be seeing new management soon. This happened in October 2013. The JJW Hotels and Resorts company will be the new managers.

In the past, the hotel and resort have been managed by the Starwood Group. The title was Le Meridien Penina. This has been the case since the year 2005. But recently, a transfer in management has been agreed upon by the two organizations. The new title of the hotel will now be Penina Golf Resort

The original founder of JJW is Sheikh Mohamed Bin Issa Al Jaber. He is the founder as well. Recently he’s said that the new Penina Golf Resort has been and will be a hotel with a singular place in history surrounding Algarve. He went on to say that his company will do its best to make sure they celebrate the heritage the older hotel has, in order to make sure that the traditional guests of the hotel return. They are confident that this will happen, and are going to do their absolute best to make sure that people see the same amazing history and performance from the new hotel as they did from the last.

Mr. Al Jaber has been investing in the region for a long time, upwards of 25 years. So, this is something he’s been doing for quite a while, and he goes on to say that he’s been doing business dealings in Algarve since the end of the 80s. Mr. Al Jaber has been increasingly impressed by how wonderful the region in Portugal is, especially in the sense of just how hospitable Portuguese people are. As a result, he’s becoming increasingly certain that he’ll do more and more business in the region. Including growing the hotel brand he has going, as well as doing more investments.

It’s probable that the exact nature of the JWW Hotels brand and what they will be doing soon will be unveiled by the company at a later date. In fact, the company investing 100 million in the local economy and their investment will provide jobs upwards of 600 people, all local.

The hotel was one of the original 5 star places in Algarve, and now that it’s changed hands, it’s probable that a lot of improvements will be made. For example, many have already come down the line. The new Resort now has one of the largest swimming pools of a private nature in the entire area. There’s even an airstrip nearby that can take small aircraft. The Resort has its own private beach for people visiting the hotel to enjoy. Then, there are of course two separate 18-hole golf courses that have state of the art golfing facilities.

The facilities connected to these courses are so good, that they’ve even had the Portuguese Open at the resort more than once. The JJW Hotels company also operates other hotels as well, including the Dona Filipa, and the San Lorenzo, among others.

Even beyond the local area, the company owns many luxury grade hotels that span across the European country side including places in Vienna, a place in the UK, and many others.
