BACHMANN
GROUP

Robert Ferdinand Bachmann was born in 1932 in Bucharest, Romania, having later adopted Austrian nationality. Having grown up in Barcelona, he settled in Lisbon in 1956 to open his first company: an acrylic factory.

In 1962, with a fully established business career, Robert Bachmann ‘discovered’ the Algarve and purchased several plots of land in the region. From then on, the main professional focus of the Group was shifted to the real estate business. Robert Bachmann´s vision pioneered tourism development in Lagoa and Albufeira. All projects were stamped with his great passion for art and antiques.

Presently, Bachmann Group still owns and manages two resorts in the Algarve, namely Balaia Golf Village and Clube Albufeira - Garden Village, and is also involved in the rehabilitation of old buildings in historical areas of Lisbon.

Robert Bachmann always instilled in his family an entrepreneurial, charismatic, and artistic spirit. These are the values that continue to inspire the new generation that is now taking the lead in the everyday management of the Group.
