Enatur and the Municipality of Figueira da Foz have already signed the concession agreement for the operation of the Mar Swimming Pool. The concession will last for 40 years and can be automatically renewed for successive periods of 10 years, unless either party expresses its opposition.
The aim of the agreement is to restore the Piscina-Mar complex and carry out all the rehabilitation work necessary to set up a “Pousada” type hotel, as well as to boost and contribute to the economic development and tourist activity of Figueira da Foz. The swimming pool will remain available for public use in return for the concession.
The signing, which was attended by the mayor, took place at the complex´s premises on Avenida 25 de Abril, in the presence of the chairman of Enatur´s board of directors, Paulo Pereira Coelho. In his speech, he stressed that the company´s aim is to “rehabilitate one of Figueira da Foz´s most emblematic facilities”, seeking to preserve the enterprise founded by Augusto Silva and designed by the architect Isaías Cardoso, whose legacy was referred to as important and “to be honored.”
Enatur wants the complex, which will be part of the Pousadas de Portugal network, to live up to the municipality´s expectations, being a facility of “reference and quality”.
