Quinta do Lago

What can I expect from Quinta do Lago?

Quinta do Lago is a 5 stars luxury golf resort situated in the area called The Golden Triangle, in Algarve, Portugal. It’s a gated community where the most affluent people own properties and come in vacation in Portugal.

Set by the Ria Formosa Natural Park, offers luxurious living and a sense well-being and family moments in a setting that is naturally private.

Located just 20 minutes from Faro airport, Quinta do Lago is defined by most not just as a resort, but as a lifestyle and a dream location.

And was founded by a dreamer! In 1972 the founder André Jordan sat on one of the hillsides in the area, by an old stone farmhouse (which now is Casa Velha restaurant) and envisioned a place where pristine golf courses and beautiful residences overlooks the ocean, where trails explores the natural beauty of the Ria Formosa, where life could be lived in sunshine, comfort and privacy. And so this place came to be… In 2022 Quinta do Lago celebrates 50 amazing years of existence.

Quinta do Lago is a quiet and secluded resort and for that reason is the celebrities’ favorite place to unwind but also to privately party.

My experience in Quinta do Lago?

Quinta do Lago is our neighbor resort and the place were we like to hang out most of the time, because it’s more posh and renovated than ours.

We spend our time mostly at The Pavilion watching other people play tennis and enjoying a freshly squeezed orange juice. In fact, this is how we took up tennis, we were inspired by others!

Other favorite place is Pure, where you will find very healthy food. But also delicious cakes. Here you can see some photos of the cakes.

I love this place because you can feel in the same time that the whole area is only yours but if you crave interaction is just a short 5 minute ride away. I love the blend between nature and amenities and the respect they have here for nature and animals.

About buying a property here, by all means, if you have the budget, go for it! 🙂
