Enjoying a uniquely privileged setting in the heart of the Ria Formosa natural park, overlooking the ocean and surrounded by golf courses, the Hotel Quinta do Lago quite rightly is considered one of the leading luxury hotels in the Algarve. Its location ensures unrivalled views across the estuary, as well as easy access to the beach, where the hotel has an exclusive area. The hotel itself is modern and welcoming, and fitted to the highest levels of luxury. World-class restaurants, a well-equipped spa and superb sports facilities make for a memorable stay, and throughout the property there is a sense of attention to detail, as well as the highest levels of service. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable, decorated with attractive floral prints and warm colours. All have wonderful views, whether of the natural park or the estuary. And outside, the hotel is surrounded by extensive, lush gardens, where you can reconnect with nature on a relaxing walk, admiring the green fields, scented pine forests and many different species of bird and flower.

All rooms have twin beds, a large flat-screen television, and Wi-Fi internet access. The choice of restaurants is excellent, with the Cá d'Oro serving fine Italian cuisine in elegant surroundings, and the Brisa do Mar Restaurant offering Portuguese specialities and international dishes accompanied by magnificent views. The elegant Laguna piano bar makes the perfect place for a sophisticated cocktail while contemplating the sunset, while the pool bar has light snacks. The spa offers the latest therapies in a peaceful and exclusive atmosphere, and has a heated indoor pool with massage jets, sauna, Turkish bath and a gym; there is also an outdoor Jacuzzi with fantastic views.
