Troia Resort Replaces High-Rises with Green Buildings

On Portugal’s Tróia Peninsula, a new Tróia Resort project involved destroying several 1970s and 1980s high-rises. In their place is now a new, green low-rise resort, built to complement the landscape of this delicate place. The peninsula is a location for golf and water sports.

The narrow sand-strip lies 30 miles south of Lisbon and boasts 10 miles of beaches and some of the cleanest water in the region.

The TróiaResort offers two five-star hotels, two four-star hotels, a 184-berth marina, a casino, a conference center, a beach club, a country club, a tennis center and an equestrian center. In the planning stages, the resort was assessed by the Maritime Research Institute, which carried out environmental impact studies, which are ongoing.

The Eco Resort will provide a tennis center, an equestrian center, a Roman ruins archaeological center and an environmental center. The first phase, which includes three hotels, a marina, casino, conference center, commercial facilities, restructuring of the golf course and delivery of the Marina and Beach apartments, just opened in September.
