Set amid the unique beauty of the Ria Formosa protected lagoon, just 20 minutes drive from Faro International Airport, the resort is three times the size of Monaco but only nine percent buildable, meaning properties are swathed by ample green spaces and nature. Another thing Quinta do Lago has in spades is world-class amenities, including the South Golf Course, which following a €7m upgrade was voted the Best Golf Course in Europe in 2022. The ‘Campus’ sports facility is the only high-performance centre in southern Europe, favoured by international sports pros, and the resort further boasts the only Paul McGinley golf academy in Europe.


With a plethora of trendy bars, stylish boutiques and fine-dining restaurants flanking the beaches and lagoons around which Quinta do Lago emerged, it is home to a vibrant international community in a safe and socially-enriching setting, conducive to an amazing outdoor lifestyle.


Long-regarded as a harbour for Europe’s well-heeled, the elegant resort has for decades been sought by British, Irish, Dutch and other northern European nationals looking to enjoy the best of what Portugal has to offer, in one of its most exclusive locations. More recently the area’s earlier tenants have been joined by a growing number of extra-EU nationals, including North Americans, who find in the resort an alternative to the likes of the US’ Florida.


While the similarities between Quinta do Lago and Florida are easy to draw, based on the sunshine lifestyle, comparatively, Quinta do Lago offers advantages over similar resorts in Europe and beyond in such as the affordable home insurance, property management and condominium fees, and the private and public healthcare options available in Portugal, as well as its widely-reported low crime rate, political stability and history-steeped culture.


Having hosted top tournaments including the Portugal Open, Quinta do Lago is hugely popular among the international golf set. Its location is also just short drive to nearby cosmopolitan Vilamoura, where the PGA tour and top equestrian events take place.

The security and privacy that this exceptional resort delivers plus its first-rate infrastructures make it a popular destination not only with golfers and Europe’s elite, but many other celebrities who prize its seclusion.


More recently Quinta do Lago has been carving out a name for itself among a different generation, of sports stars, TV celebrities, entrepreneurs and the new wave of digital nomads; shrewd investors who appreciate Quinta do Lago’s location, singular beauty and timeless class.


Significant investment is continuously made to ensure the resort caters for contemporary requirements, not only in terms of modern comforts, but also in regards to sustainability and the environment. This provides residents and visitors with surroundings that are peaceful, private and pristine.


Ana Damásio, Director of Real Estate Sales & Marketing at the Wyndham Grand Algarve, one of Quinta do Lago’s most recent additions, says: “Portugal offers an amazing lifestyle and perhaps nowhere more so than Quinta do Lago, which has many of the Algarve’s leading attractions on the doorstep yet still provides peace and quiet as well as peace of mind”.
