Just a short drive from Faro International Airport, this exclusive residential and recreational estate covers 2,000 acres of lush, rolling countryside and pine forests bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Ria Formosa nature reserve.

Within the resort, there are extensive amenities: tennis, horse-riding, health club or non-polluting water sports. Fine shops, first class restaurants and top nightclubs add sophistication and a glorious two mile stretch of golden beach provides diversion and relaxation for everyone in the family.

Golf is a way of life at Quinta do Lago. Host to the Portuguese Open TPC seven times, the championship Quinta do Lago courses are acknowledged as among the best in the world. The keyword at Quinta do Lago is exclusivity. It is apparent in every aspect, but most of all is the sumptuous properties - three, four and five bedroom luxury villas with pool and garden.

Vale do Lobo is Portugal's biggest luxury golf and beach resort. Embraced by two national parks of outstanding natural beauty on the Algarve coastline, it is flanked by a 5 kms long golden sandy beach and majestic red sandstone cliffs and just 20 minutes from Faro International Airport.

It has been the proud recipient of a number of accolades and awards including the "Best Resort of the Millennium" for the high standard of its accommodation, services, sporting facilities, and concern for the environment.

Vale do Lobo, which contains 2 championship golf courses, has a large number of plots of land for construction, detached villas, linked villas, townhouses and apartments.

All year round, the Algarve enjoys the best climate in Europe. A mere two or three hours flight from most European capitals, it is famous for its spectacular scenery along a fabulous coastline. The main golf season is from late autumn to late spring.

Winters are mild and golfers from northern European countries can enjoy warm, sunny days and keep their swings smooth at a time when their home courses are unplayable.
