Company groups come here for meetings, conferences and team-building, at Vila Park Nature & Business Hotel in Vila Nova de Santo André, between Sines and Santiago do Cacém. The hotel takes its visual cues from the Alentejo, while its environmental commitment shows in details such as cork flooring and wall coverings in the guest rooms. Events centre on Sala Jean Piaget, a naturally lit room overlooking the pools and gardens, with layouts that can be adapted to different uses; other spaces can also be arranged around an event’s needs. For team-building beyond the meeting room, the hotel works with local and national partners on a programme of activities. Nearby, Sines is associated with its deep-water port and industrial park, while Santiago do Cacém is known for the Roman remains of Miróbriga.
