Just five minutes from Vale do Lobo and sandwiched between the resorts of Faro and Vilamoura lies the Vilar do Golf Residences at Quinta do Lago. After going through extensive renovations, the resort that sits next to the Quinta do Lago clubhouse and overlooking the South Course’s 9th hole has grown in popularity coinciding with the emergence of the new jewel in the crown, the Quinta do Lago North Course. Vilar do Golf’s apartments and villas sit amongst the beautifully manicured gardens in the very centre of Quinta do Lago. The houses are managed very professionally and come well equipped with fully fitted kitchens with all necessary appliances. The lounge and dining areas have satellite television, DVD player, land-line telephone and sofa bed. The resort is located around a kilometre from the beach which is serviced by a local shuttle bus and approximately 2km from Quinta Shopping and the many restaurants in the Quinta do Lago vicinity. The resort borders the two original championship courses at Quinta do Lago (North and South) and it is just a few hundred yards from the resort’s reception to the Paul McGinley golf academy and driving range. If you wish to book additional golf on top of what you have booked with us, golf bookings can be made at the 24 hour reception where guests can obtain discounts on green fees. Three outdoor swimming pools are available on the resort, one of which is exclusively for young children. There is also an indoor heated pool and Jacuzzi.
