3-Day Incentive Programme in the Algarve

The challengeCreating a three-day incentive experience in the Algarve for a group of almost exclusively women from Belgium, seeking a perfect balance between relaxation, discovery and celebration. The brief called for a beachside resort atmosphere, on-water experiences, quality gastronomy with vegetarian-friendly options and a memorable evening with a party. The group had previously loved a resort experience in Marbella, setting a high benchmark for this edition.
The proposalTo meet the group’s expectations, we designed a tailor-made incentive program centered around the best that the Algarve has to offer—combining premium hospitality, immersive nature, and refined leisure experiences.

The proposed itineracy included:
  • A stay at the Wyndham Grand Algarve, offering elegance, comfort, and proximity to the coast.
  • A welcome dinner at Purobeach Vilamoura, a beachfront venue known for its chic ambiance and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine—perfect for setting the tone of the trip.
  • A private catamaran cruise through the Ria Formosa Natural Park, with open bar, music, and snacks on board, followed by a beach break on Deserta Island with sunbeds and parasols reserved for the group.
  • A lunch at Estaminé restaurant, an exclusive and scenic location on Deserta Island, featuring fresh local seafood and vegetarian options.
  • An elegant dinner and party at MöTAO in Vilamoura, blending signature Asian cuisine with a vibrant nightlife atmosphere—complete with open bar, DJ, and illuminated bracelets for a fun, festive touch.
  • A final day of fun golf activities and wine tasting at Quinta do Lago, offering a balance of light competition and relaxed enjoyment in a unique setting.
Every element was curated to reflect Vinitur’s commitment to detail, quality, and creating experiences that resonate deeply with the participants.
 
The Execution
Day 1
Arrival & Welcome
The group arrived at Faro Airport, where they were welcomed by a dedicated Vinitur guide and transferred to the elegant Wyndham Grand Algarve. After a smooth check-in and time to refresh, the evening began with a private dinner at Purobeach Vilamoura, offering panoramic ocean views, a refined Mediterranean menu, and a chic yet relaxed ambiance—setting the tone for the days ahead.
Day 1
Day 2
Ria Formosa & Asian Night

The morning started with a visit to the authentic Olhão Market, one of the most charming covered markets in the Algarve, before boarding a private catamaran for a two-hour cruise through the Ria Formosa Natural Park. Sailing slowly through the channels of this protected coastal lagoon, the group discovered rare birdlife, unspoiled landscapes and the quiet beauty of one of Portugal's most extraordinary natural treasures. An open bar, canapés and background music set a relaxed and festive mood on board.

The catamaran anchored at Ilha Deserta, the southernmost uninhabited island of mainland Portugal, where the group enjoyed reserved sunbeds and parasols on a pristine stretch of sand. Lunch was served at Estaminé, a remarkable restaurant built entirely in wood and glass, isolated in the heart of the natural park and accessible only by boat, where fish and seafood dishes of exceptional freshness took centre stage.

The evening transported the group to another world entirely. Dinner at Mötao in Vilamoura offered a signature Asian gastronomic journey through flavours and aromas from across the Orient, with a resident DJ setting the mood with soul, house, jazz and chill-out sounds. After dinner, luminous bracelets were distributed and the night evolved into a full party with DJ and open bar, with a dedicated shuttle service running until the early hours.

Day 2
Day 3
Golf, Sun & Farewell

The final morning was spent at Quinta do Lago, one of the Algarve's most prestigious addresses, where the group divided into two for a fun and engaging golf experience: a mini-golf tournament on a course featuring iconic holes from Augusta and Sawgrass, and a golf clinic led by two professionals introducing the basics of the sport through games and challenges. A wine tasting woven into the mini-golf course added a distinctly Vinitur touch to the morning.

The farewell lunch at Dano's Restaurant, a relaxed and characterful space within Quinta do Lago's The Campus sports complex, brought the group together one last time over a shared menu with drinks before the transfer to Faro Airport.

Day 3
A event to never forget
The client's feedback
"The program went very well. Even though we had to change the activity planned for day 2 due to bad weather conditions, the Vinitur team quickly looked for similar alternatives and it turned out that the catamaran trip to the desert island was a lot of fun and everything went beautifully. The golf activity was also a success and all the participants loved it."
