Quinta do Lago has been at the forefront of international golf since its creation. Today the resort’s three courses are among Europe’s best and are joined by world-class golf facilities such as the Paul McGinley Golf Academy and Southern Europe’s only TaylorMade Performance Centre.

These exceptional golfing credentials, including being named ‘Europe’s Best Golf Destination’ at the World Golf Awards in 2015 and 2016, and being given the ‘Editors’ Choice Award for Best International Resorts’ in 2016 and 2017, by Golf Digest, ensure Quinta do Lago’s place among the world’s golfing elite.

Spending a day at one of the Algarve’s water parks is certainly a fun day out both for children and adults. There are plenty of slides, tunnels, free falls (almost), inflatable mattresses, giant buoys, wave pools and fountains. Everything is a reason to refresh the body and liven up the day.

The Algarve offers an array of boating experiences, from enjoying an entire day cruise to, half a day basking in sunset charters. Experiences also include tailor-made boat trips to suit your requirements. Enjoy a glass of champagne as you depart from Vilamoura Marina on a fantastic cruise along the southern coast of Portugal.

The Algarve Jeep Safari is guaranteed to be one of your best days out. It's fun, informative and takes you to parts of the Algarve that you would never find on your own. This comes highly recommended.

If you were asked to name three things you associate with the Algarve what would they be? Golf, sunshine and beaches perhaps? While Portugal’s popular southern spot is world-renowned for its beautiful beaches, almost year-round sunshine and being a haven for golfers, its penchant to cater for the tennis player is considerably less well documented. If you consider yourself a bit of a tennis player, regardless of your ability or age, then you might want to head to the sunny Algarve, which is home to a number of fantastic tennis courts and facilities.
