Designer Outlet Algarve is the result of a joint venture between Ikea Centres and the Mutschler Group.

It is to be run by Austrian managers ROS Retail Outlet Shopping.
During a first phase, the outlet, with the architecture being inspired by a traditional Algarve village, will open with 50 known-brand fashion and lifestyle stores offering up to 70 percent off standard retail prices.
Thomas Reichenauer, Managing Director of ROS Retail Outlet Shopping, said: “We are delighted to bring to Portugal and the Algarve an international outlet concept that is adapted to the characteristics of the region, which combines the best of 20 years of inspiration in the development and operation of outlets with a choice of a location as unique as the Algarve. “Along with the MAR Shopping Algarve and IKEA store, we could not be prouder of this partnership with IKEA Centres and we are ready to welcome and inspire all people, with the opening of an innovative and unique concept in Portugal.”
Miguel Guerreiro, Managing Director of the Designer Outlet Algarve, added: “We will soon open the doors to the largest outlet in the Algarve, offering all our visitors exclusive access to fashion and lifestyle brands in an inspiring environment.
“In addition to access to permanent discounts of up to 70 percent, we will provide exclusive campaigns and events throughout the year, highlighting the attractiveness of the Algarve beyond the summer months and enhancing the fashion sector as one of the main pulls to the region.
It is with great pride that we are already members of the Algarve Tourism Association.”
