Vila Galé consolidates growth and starts 2026 with new projects

Group reaches turnover of €321.5 million, with Portugal and Spain accounting for 60% of total revenues; Brazil stands out for strong growth in volume and profitability

Vila Galé continues to focus on expansion, team development, heritage recovery, differentiation of its offer and the sustainable development of the territories where it operates.

The Group closed 2025 with consolidated turnover of €321.5 million, confirming the solidity of its growth model and its ability to execute in a demanding context. Portugal and Spain generated €193.5 million, representing around 60% of total revenues, while Brazil—where the group continues to grow significantly—once again stood out for its contribution to group profitability, with a 23% increase compared to 2024, increasingly approaching the weight of the Iberian operation, despite having a smaller number of units.

From an operational perspective, throughout 2025 the group recorded a total of 1.9 million occupied rooms and 1.25 million guests, representing overall growth of 5% and 4%, respectively.

Portugal and Spain accounted for 1,154,500 occupied rooms, an increase of 1% compared to 2024, while Brazil recorded 743,000 occupied rooms, a significant increase of 12%. These figures correspond to an average occupancy rate of 56% in Portugal and Spain and 50% in Brazil, reflecting the group’s ability to maintain a robust operation aligned with market needs.

Consolidated EBITDA reached €127 million, of which €81 million correspond to the Iberian Peninsula and R$293 million to the Brazilian operation, highlighting the consistency of the company’s performance.

Looking ahead, Vila Galé enters 2026 with 12 new projects under development, which together total 1,845 rooms and represent a total investment of €215 million.

In Portugal, the group is developing six new units that strengthen its presence in inland regions and reinforce its commitment to the rehabilitation of historic heritage. Among these, Vila Galé Collection Tejo, in Golegã, stands out, with 116 rooms and an investment of €15 million, as well as Vila Galé Collection Penacova, with 84 rooms and an investment of €14 million. These are joined by Vila Galé Miranda do Douro, with 100 rooms and an investment of €16 million, and Vila Galé Paço Real de Caxias, in Oeiras, which will offer 120 rooms and also requires an investment of €16 million.
In Lisbon, the group is moving forward with Vila Galé Collection Lisboa – Palácio Almada Carvalhais, one of the most emblematic projects of this expansion phase, with 110 rooms and an investment of €35 million.
In the Azores, Vila Galé Terceira, located on Terceira Island, will offer 106 rooms and involve an investment of €16 million.

In Brazil, expansion is also intensifying with six new units that strengthen Vila Galé’s presence across different states. In Alagoas, the group is developing Vila Galé Collection Coruripe, with 144 rooms, and Vila Galé Nep Kids Coruripe, with 350 rooms and entirely designed for children, representing a combined investment of €35 million. In Santa Catarina, Vila Galé Florianópolis will offer 309 rooms and represents an investment of €27 million. In Minas Gerais, Vila Galé Brumadinho, with 312 rooms, will also involve an investment of €27 million. In the state of Maranhão, the group is expanding with two units: Vila Galé Collection São Luís, with 51 rooms, and Vila Galé Collection Maranhão, with 43 rooms, representing a combined investment of €14 million.

With these 12 new units, Vila Galé strengthens its position as one of the largest Portuguese hotel groups and an international reference, diversifying its offer across themed hotels, family-focused projects and units with a strong cultural and historical connection through heritage rehabilitation. This expansion is based on a balanced strategy between organic growth and internationalisation, while maintaining a strong focus on teams, innovation in the tourism product and the sustainable development of the territories where it operates.
