Leisure Launch Group Welcomes 2026 with Strategic Vision and Team Unity

We kicked off 2026 in true Leisure Launch Group style: together, inspired, and with a table full of authentic Portuguese flavours!

Held at a stunning quinta on the outskirts of Alcobaça, our annual kick-off lunch offered the perfect backdrop to honor 2025's achievements and look forward to the exciting developments ahead in 2026.

The venue itself spoke to the heart of what makes our region special. Nestled in the countryside near Alcobaça, the "quinta" featured a traditional Portuguese windmill and an authentic "adega", a wine cellar that evokes centuries of Portuguese winemaking tradition. It was the ideal setting to celebrate not just our companies’ success, but the rich cultural heritage that defines our beautiful Silver Coast.

As colleagues from across our various brands gathered under one roof, the atmosphere buzzed with energy. For many team members who work in different locations throughout the year, this was a great opportunity to put faces to names, share stories, and strengthen the connections that make our Group stronger.

Looking Back, Moving Forward

The afternoon kicked off with a warm welcome and presentation by our Chairperson, Davide Patricio, who highlighted key moments from 2025.

Highlights included Presprop delivering dozens of new-build villas and apartments, and launching new developments in several stunning locations on Portugal's Silver Coast. 

Our real estate brands, Portugal Realty and Immo Portugal, successfully delivered dozens of new-build homes, not only from Presprop but also from a trusted network of long-standing local partners.

A milestone only possible thanks to our ongoing investment and global reach, with our brands present in 2025 at 14 international property shows across the UK, Ireland, Sweden, the Netherlands, and the USA.

Adding to this success, Portugal The Simple Life Podcast surpassed 160,000 YouTube subscribers and reached millions of listeners around the world, continuing to inspire and connect people with the lifestyle we proudly represent.

Our team also celebrated prestigious accolades such as the Scoring Top 5% awarded to Portugal Interiors (Tranquilátomo), Portugal Accounting and Presprop, who also received the prestigious PME Excelência award last year.

Other milestones included the amazing results of SCH Casas de Férias (SCH Solutions), who solidified its position as a clear market leader with hundreds of holiday home bookings in 2025, welcoming 1,722 guests from 27 countries, and achieved a significant milestone with official brand recognition on Booking.com, one of the world's largest accommodation platforms.

Traditional Fado & Portuguese flavours

Adding a special touch to the day, our colleagues enjoyed an authentic Portuguese lunch (which of course included bacalhau!) paired with live Fado music.

And there was even an impromptu game of football… the perfect way to celebrate our love of Portugal and team spirit!
