The Vilamoura Equestrian Centre will return to the global show-jumping scene in October 2025 after renovations and partnering with Grandprix.
Following renovations, the Vilamoura Equestrian Centre is poised to return to the international show-jumping circuit in October 2025 as it teams up with Grandprix, a prominent show-jumping events promoter.
The Equestrian Centre’s return to the Winter Tour series organised by Grandprix will showcase a 20-week schedule from October to April, featuring CSI3*, CSI4*, and even CSI5* competitions. This event will be on par with prestigious competitions such as the Longines Deauville Classic, Chantilly Classic, Le Touquet Classic, and Cabourg Classic, known for attracting top showjumpers globally.
The return to major global competition marks the beginning of an exciting new era for Vilamoura and its new Equestrian Centre, set to become a prestigious five-star facility.
The centre’s main attractions will be its three expansive ebb-and-flow sand arenas, each exceeding 6,500 m2, and a sizable grass arena measuring 14,000 m2.
Additional key features of the upgrade include four undulated warm-up arenas, Europe’s largest covered free-training arena exceeding 6,000 m², and a state-of-the-art veterinary clinic will also be on-site.
The enhancements continue, with over 1000 new stable structures, three high-end entertainment spaces with a VIP area, a 3 km horse trail, and a 30,000 m² grassy training zone within a nature reserve, providing a top-tier experience for all riders.
By making these enhancements, the Vilamoura Equestrian Centre will deliver an exceptional equestrian experience that exceeds the expectations of riders, horses, and spectators while also providing a prime sponsorship platform for local and international brands.
