Delivered in collaboration with DETAILS – the management company that oversees the hotel – the transformation culminated in the hotel’s full reopening under the Hyatt Regency brand in early 2026. The project repositions the property through a comprehensive redesign of guest rooms, suites, public areas and food and beverage outlets. The completed Hyatt Regency Vilamoura Algarve has been reimagined to reflect a contemporary, design-led approach rooted in the character and identity of the Algarve.
“Hyatt Regency Vilamoura represents a considered balance between modernity and tradition,” said Nicholas Hickson, Co-Founder of THDP and lead designer on the project. “The aim was to create a hotel that feels both contemporary and deeply connected to its location – capturing the light, textures and atmosphere of the Algarve in a way that is both authentic and enduring.”
Combining Hyatt’s global brand standards with THDP’s hospitality design expertise, the project establishes a new benchmark for contemporary resort design in the Algarve.
