Set within the Algarve’s prestigious Golden Triangle, close to the Ria Formosa Natural Park, Quinta do Lago is one of Europe’s most established luxury golf resorts. It combines championship golf, high-end accommodation, restaurants, beaches, wellness facilities and year-round sunshine, making it one of Portugal’s strongest all-round golf holiday destinations.

The resort is best known for its three 18-hole golf courses: South Course, North Course and Laranjal. The South Course is the flagship layout, designed by William Mitchell and a multiple-time Portuguese Open host, with umbrella pines, lakes, wild flowers and views towards the Ria Formosa. The North Course was redesigned with Paul McGinley and offers a more strategic test with rebuilt greens, tees, bunkers, irrigation and drainage. Laranjal, set around 2 km east of the resort in the Ludo Valley, was originally an orange grove and is known for its lakes, cork oaks, umbrella pines and beautifully defined greens.

Quinta do Lago works brilliantly for golfers who want variety without long transfers. You can play three different courses, enjoy strong practice facilities and combine golf with beach time, dining, cycling, nature walks and relaxed resort living. It is especially well suited to couples, groups and families who want a polished Algarve base with plenty to do away from the course.
