QUINTA DO LAGO
Spread over 810 hectares of the
Ria Formosa Natural Park, it’s
not just the courses that help
Quinta do Lago stand out.
The resort has 1,100 properties
for season-long golfers and a
seriously good hotel.
The 141 rooms and nine suites
of the five-star Hotel Quinta
do Lago have views over almost
four hectares of grounds and
out to the Formosa estuary and
the sea. In the high season, this
is the place to stay and you’ll
regularly find members of the jet
set relaxing in the spa or dining
on the terrace restaurants. Both
Chris Evans, the millionaire
British radio presenter, and
Princess Caroline of Monaco
have stayed here, and there’s a
real air of luxury as you follow
the winding staircase that leads
from the marble lobby to two
high-end restaurants and the
Laguna piano bar. After dark,
when clubs are down, the Brisa
do Mar and Ca d’Or restaurants
teem with couples, fresh from
the greens and ready for nothing
more strenuous than a full round
of eating and drinking.
