Locations
Situated on the Algarve’s southern coast bordering the picturesque Ria Formosa Nature Reserve (one of the 7 Natural Wonders of Portugal), a 3.5km unspoilt blue flag beach and the Atlantic Ocean, Quinta do Lago is a prime location within natural surroundings. This unique destination benefits from a warm Mediterranean climate that is ideal for an indoor-outdoor lifestyle, a rich cultural history, and a diverse landscape displaying both countryside and sea views.
Quinta do Lago was acquired in December 1971 by Brazilian property developer, André Jordan, and today the 2000 acre natural site has matured and thrived to become the Algarve’s leading golf and residential real estate resort, and an acclaimed destination that is recognised worldwide. Recognised as as one of the best golf destinations in the world, having won Best Golf Resort in Europe 2023, Quinta do Lago boasts 5 award-winning golf courses - The South Course - awarded best golf course in Europe 2023, The North Course, San Lorenzo Golf Course, Pinheiros Altos Golf Course and Laranjal Golf Course. Situated in one of the most desirable postcodes in Portugal, Quinta do Lago provides luxurious properties for a high-end lifestyle and high-end residential options within a pristine and virtually untouched environment of natural beauty. The ecologically driven resort maintains its low-density residential and green areas with an 8% build limit, ensuring that the harmony between real estate and the local environment is always maintained.
Quinta do Lago today is characterised not only by its immaculate and beautiful surroundings, that the resort's management continually update and improve, but by its spacious plots, with low-rise and low-density development restricted to just 20-25% of the plot area, providing desirable plots for buyers seeking privacy.
