Just a short drive form Faro International Airport, a few hours flying time from most European Capitals, Quinta do Lago is a special place in the Algarve.

645 hectares of ondulating countryside, pine forests, lakes and lush vegetation form the scenery where individual properties and resort complexes are carefully integrated.

Being part of the Ria Formosa Natural Park a lot of consideration has been given to the protection of environment in order to preserve the delicate ecological balance and the natural beauty of the surroundings.

“Quinta do Lago is one of the few locations in the world where you can purchase a luxury property and enjoy the tranquillity of a Natural Park”.

Since its creation in 1972, a low density building policy of eight per cent of the total state has been observed. Properties are available only in limited numbers. Privacy and tranquillity are associated to an active and sporting life with a wide range of leisure facilities. Tennis, horse riding, health clubs or non polluting water-sports on the lake, the beautiful golden each, provide diversion, relaxation and enjoyment. But for golfers Quinta do Lago is a haven. With the San Lourenço course, the Pinheiros Altos and the two Quinta do Lago North and South courses, the estate is one of the largest golf resorts in Europe.

In 1998 the Thompson family sold Planal S.A., now Quinta do Lago S.A., to the O’Brien family from Ireland, the present owners of Quinta do Lago.
