As CEO of Quinta do Lago, it is my pleasure to welcome you back to the resort so many proudly call home.
It’s great to hear so many people say that moving here has been one of the best decisions they’ve ever made. It speaks to the unique lifestyle of Quinta do Lago — the sense of freedom, wellbeing and quality of life that people truly embrace once they arrive.
Set within the Algarve’s protected natural landscape, Quinta do Lago is a sanctuary where privacy, beauty, and security are part of everyday life. The exceptional climate, vibrant culinary culture, and strong sense of community make it one of Europe’s most desirable destinations for refined living.
More than 50 years since its founding, the resort continues to be guided by a clear and confident vision — one that honours its natural surroundings while constantly evolving to offer something truly exceptional. A defining moment in our journey has been the acquisition of the Conrad Algarve, paving the way for a new era for the resort and the introduction of the Quinta do Lago Signature Collection — an exclusive selection of landmark residences that reflect our unwavering commitment to excellence.
We are also proud to present a wider collection of properties, from sleek apartments to timeless villas and premium plots, each one carefully selected to reflect the character and quality of life at Quinta. With new neighbourhoods like North Grove taking shape, there has never been a more exciting time to be part of our story.
Whether you are returning, investing, or discovering Quinta for the first time, our official Real Estate team is here to guide you with care, insight, and discretion.
Because Quinta do Lago is more than a destination. It’s a place to return — and a place to belong..
Warm regards,
Sean Moriarty
CEO, Quinta do Lago

Established the past. Defining the future.
The Quinta do Lago Real Estate team of experts offers personalized, multilingual consultancy. With decades of experience and local insights, they ensure a stress-free, pleasant property buying and selling process, making your journey at Quinta do Lago memorable.
Born in England and raised under the sun-drenched skies of southern Portugal, I’ve built my life, family, and career in a place I feel deeply connected to. With over 20 years of experience in Algarve luxury real estate and a genuine passion for what I do, I now proudly serve as Sales Director at Quinta do Lago Real Estate. I see my role as more than guiding transactions—it’s about helping people find the lifestyle and home they truly long for. I live in the Algarve with my husband, our two daughters, and our golden retriever. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, travelling, and spending time with those I love. Quinta do Lago is more than a destination—it’s a way of life, and I’m proud to help others become part of it.
“Quinta do Lago is more than a destination - it’s a way of life, and I’m proud to help others become part of it.”
Though I was born in France, I’ve always felt entirely Portuguese at heart. With a background in Communication and Marketing, I’ve been working in luxury real estate since 2009, bringing creativity, empathy, and sharp negotiation skills to every client relationship. I speak Portuguese, French, English, and Spanish, and while I might not enjoy writing bios, I love connecting with people and creating lasting value through property. Quinta do Lago’s unique sense of community is what I treasure most—everyone feels they belong. One of my favourite places here is the gazebo by the Ria Formosa: the light, the breeze, the ever-changing view— it’s simply magical.
Originally from the north and raised by the sea in central Portugal, I’ve called the Algarve home for the past 18 years. Although I began my professional journey in law, my heart has always been in the arts—especially dance, tap, and music. I enjoy Pilates, nature walks, travelling with my son, and time with good friends. Twelve years ago, I embraced a new path in luxury real estate, working with leading agencies before proudly joining Quinta do Lago. I’m driven by a commitment to providing secure, seamless, and rewarding experiences for each client. Working in such a stunning and dynamic setting is both a privilege and a daily source of inspiration.
With over two decades of experience in high-end real estate, I’ve developed a deep specialisation in the Quinta do Lago area. Born in Portugal and raised in Germany, I bring a detail-oriented approach and a genuine love for helping clients find their ideal property. Working in such an exclusive and naturally beautiful setting is a privilege, made even more meaningful by the people I meet along the way. I especially enjoy the serenity of the Ria Formosa near Casa do Lago, where I’ve had the joy of spotting pink flamingos in flight. Just beyond the wooden bridge, the white sands offer a glimpse of the Algarve at its most magical.
Born in Dublin, I’ve been visiting Quinta do Lago since childhood, so joining the real estate team here felt like a natural next step. With an Honours Degree in Property Studies and over seven years of experience in the field, I’m passionate about helping clients find homes that truly match their lifestyle. What drew me here— beyond the beauty—is the resort’s vibrant, active way of life, from mornings at The Campus to afternoons on the golf course. I’m a fan of golf, and I always start the day with a coffee at Pure. It’s a privilege to represent a place that offers not only extraordinary properties but also an inspiring way of life.
Half British, half Brazilian, I’ve long felt at home in the Algarve. With over ten years of experience in the region, including property management across the Golden Triangle, I now serve as Office Manager for Quinta do Lago Real Estate. Fluent in both Portuguese and English, and with a background in social sciences, I bring warmth, organisation, and a personal touch to supporting our team. I find peace in the calm of the Ria Formosa, enjoy long walks through Ludo, and love the quiet beauty of the coastline. Behind the scenes, I thrive in ensuring everything runs smoothly for both clients and colleagues.
As we move through the years, Quinta do Lago continues to stand as a beacon of resilience, investor confidence and lifestyle-driven value in the south of Europe. Despite global volatility, in economic and social contexts, the resort’s real estate market has not only endured—it has evolved, matured and thrived.
The current civil year’s fiscal framework and State Budget in Portugal has allowed some interesting angles for investors: creation of NHR 2.0, Investment Visa reforms and positive clarifications to the Rental/AL legislation.
The unwavering, consistent and forward-thinking investment strategy of the Quinta do Lago Group across global infrastructures, new hospitality assets and overall resort quality has underpinned this market resilience and robustness. This continued capital reinvestment reinforces trust with discerning UHNW and HNW buyers, positioning the resort as a benchmark for excellence and stability across market cycles.
Premium Asset Liquidity in the Ultra-Luxury Segment. Since the beginning of 2025, we’ve witnessed swift transactions of ultra-prime properties in the €12M–€18M range, many of which were transacted off-market during the early stages of listing. These assets typically feature classic, timeless architecture, underscoring the enduring appeal of tradition and permanence in luxury lifestyle investments.
Buyers in this segment are a mix of seasoned Quinta owners relocating within the resort and affluent new entrants from across Europe. There’s a visible pivot from speculative, inflated pricing towards more strategic, sustainable valuations—a shift that signals market maturity without diluting confidence or appetite.
Why People Buy?
For the first time since 2021, Quinta do Lago is experiencing a measurable increase in inventory up over 30% since Q4 2023 across all market segments. While the ultra-luxury tier (€15M+) has also grown, its expansion is proportionally more modest. This supply-side evolution is rebalancing the negotiation power between buyers and sellers.
Key buyer behavior trends:
● Buyers are more informed, data-driven, and globally minded.
● Most are returning European investors; however, new HNW leads from the USA, Canada, Singapore, and the Middle East are entering through rentals and personal networks.
● The market is seeing greater segmentation and depth, with buyers approaching Quinta do Lago not just as a vacation home, but as a hybrid-use or permanent residence investment.
Portugal posted record-breaking tourism results through 2023 and 2024, with over 30 million visitors and €25B in global revenue. The Algarve, already Europe’s most desirable secondhome destination, benefited imensely from this sustained momentum—delivering solid rental yields, capital appreciation, and brand prestige, also with an international demand for branded residences (often in association with a solid Hotel Brand ensuring operations.
Quinta do Lago remains unrivalled in the luxury segment in Europe. Its integrated resort ecosystem—offering prime golf, wellness, exceptional gastronomy, and exclusive access— continues to captivate a discerning global elite seeking security, legacy, and lifestyle.
Opportunities for investors and developers who can unlock value through refurbishment, demolition, or new construction can still be found in the Quinta do Lago market, although at a higher price point and with less options and choice. With construction input prices now finally stabilizing and labour bottlenecks slowly easing, renovation projects are regaining momentum, especially for unique bespoke residences with unique finishes, highly ESG compliant and architectural distinction.
Trend
Demand still outpacing Supply
Rising global appeal
Shift to buyer selectivity
Growth in asset-backed purchases
ESG and long-term planning
Optimism Anchored in Sustainable and Structural Investment. The 2025 outlook remains highly optimistic, driven by Quinta’s unique positioning, controlled property development pipeline, and unrivaled brand equity. Investors recognize the resort’s combination of lifestyle, legacy, and long-term financial return and trust the market as a reliable and credible source of future capital appreciation.
● Price per square meter, while high by Portuguese standards, remains attractive relative to other global luxury hubs, where the same UHNW families often have investments or at least, experience its lifestyle.
● Buyers are increasingly rational, yet they continue to transact confidently when the pricing aligns with market value and quality. Some segments, with less supply, transact with a lesser negotiation margin or discount.
● Speculative pricing at launch is no longer rewarded; accurate and timely pricing the property at the first market exposure has become a competitive advantage for serious and motivated sellers. Speculators, often developers or unexperienced sellers, often have the property exposed in the market for longer periods and end up selling out even shorter than the initial estimated value, also paying the price cost of time.
Sustained upward pressure on prices for turnkey and branded residences,although the growth rate is now more steady and sustainable.
Influx of new leads from the North America, Middle-East Expats, and Northern Europe.
Longer decision cycles, but higher transaction certainty and quality. Buyers are extremely well informed and value solid reputation from the stakeholders involved in the property transactions.
Fewer purchases via outdated company structures. More focus on direct or asset transactions. More complex corporate structures entail underlying liabilities which can hinder the transaction’s swiftness. The rewards of these structures are becoming thinner and less interesting on financial and fiscal planning contexts.
New developments increasingly focused on resources’ efficiency, conservation, and sustainable architecture. Good domotic systems, allowing for hassle-free energetic management are in high demand, even in lower market segments.
BUYER DEMOGRAPHICS: DIVERSIFYING WHILE REMAINING LOYAL
While UK and Irish buyers remain dominant and represent over 60% of the total market, the buyer pool has expanded, with growing traction from:
● Central and Northern European HNWIs entering the market, initially via tourism or corporate ties. Tax efficiency planning and lifestyle options command the purchase decisions.
● Portuguese nationals from Lisbon-Cascais-Estoril, PortoBraga and Leiria are leveraging domestic market liquidity, acquiring prime resort homes.
● North Americans from USA and Canada: post-Golden Visa investors seeking permanent residence in Europe, guided by desires of social and political stability and seeking a relaxed and natural lifestyle, in proven multicultural settings.
● Purchasing structures are evolving: although corporatebased acquisitions remain relevant for estate planning, there is a marked increase in asset deals, reflecting buyers’ preference for simplicity, transparency, and alignment with evolving EU tax legislation.
● Align with Smart Capital – Prioritize real estate offerings that reflect long-term value, current ESG standards, and seamless lifestyle integration.
● Focus on Renovation and Development Opportunities – Acquire and reposition underoptimized assets with modern design and sustainability elements and create maximum value from new virgin plots, which have become very popular and in high demand, due to their scarcity. (Over 50% of the North Grove plots have sold in the first 6 months of its launching).
● Balance Pricing Discipline with Opportunity Tackling: Leverage market knowledge and comparative global benchmarking to avoid speculative overpricing but act on a timely and effective manner to secure interesting opportunities. The pool of buyers is very competitive, ensuring very attractive purchasing power and conditions (cash-buyers with informed decisions and established fiscal and financial planning in place) and a strong desire to fulfil their investment needs.
“What makes Quinta do Lago unique is the quality of its homes, the sense of belonging, safety and timeless elegance. Buyers aren’t just investing in property, they’re investing in a lifestyle rooted in legacy.”
Quinta do Lago continues to be Portugal’s unrivaled destination for UHNW families, digital elites, and legacy investors. Its enduring appeal, strategic location, world-class amenities, and constant reinvestment by shareholders make it uniquely positioned to capitalize on the broader growth of the Algarve and Southern Europe. In an era of volatility and global realignment, Quinta do Lago offers certainty, lifestyle, and reliable capital appreciation—a rare and timeless combination. The fundamentals for the following years remain strong, and the market outlook is bright for developers, investors, and homeowners who think long-term and act strategically.

Whether your vision is contemporary or traditional, these future private homes will guarantee unmatched tranquility with seamless access to the resort’s world-class amenities.
PROJECTED TIMELINE
Summer 2024 Sale of plots started. Infrastructure initiated. Summer 2025 Completion of infrastructure
On January 8th, the Decree-Law No. 10/2024, better known as Simplex Urban Planning, was published.
This law reformed a set of rules in the areas of urbanistic planning and land management, aiming to simplify, modernise, and expedite urban management and land planning processes. Among the more than two dozen measures, the following stand out:
● Shifting the control of urbanistic operations, which, as a rule, no longer takes place at a pre-execution stage (prior control) and is now relegated to an execution or even completion stage;
● The revocation of Decree-Law 281/99, of July 26th, and the removal of the requirement to present the construction or usage licence to the Notary, allowing any properties to be transacted even if they do not have a formal license;
● Changing the use of units to residential no longer depends on the authorisation of the condominium owners;
● The intention to digitalise processes, achieve greater uniformity and transparency, and reduce bureaucracy, by planning to create platforms that allow the processing of applications in a digital context from 2025 onwards;
● Adoption of a tacit approval regime for construction licences, to which the tacit approval certification regime applies through the issuance of a certificate obtained in an electronic procedure;
● Prior communication becomes the applicable procedure for a series of urbanistic operations, particularly concerning properties where there are already requests for favourable prior information;
For specific details and updates on Simplex Urbanistic Planning, it is recommended to consult local councils and contact a professional.

Prior to any prospective acquisition, we cordially advise you to scrutinize the following topics
Once you are certain that you have discovered the appropriate property for your needs and wants, it is of utmost importance to respond rapidly and initiate the necessary actions in a timely manner to ensure the acquisition of your new residence, especially in the current competitive real estate market.
When preparing to propose an initial offer on your preferred property, it is important to work closely with your property consultant at Quinta do Lago Real Estate who will advise you in submitting a written offer, which may require a letter of intent, outlining your broad terms and conditions.
As the official real estate agency of the resort, Quinta do Lago Real Estate is the right partner for you, offering notable support and confidence. Our team of qualified professionals possesses the best knowledge of the resort.
Begin by determining the type of property you are looking for while taking into account your budget and fundamental requirements. This may range from an apartment to a townhouse, a villa or even an empty plot intended for construction. By doing so, you will avoid pointless property tours and potential time loss. It is also advised to decide the principal use for your future property, be it a permanent or semi-permanent residence, a holiday home, or as an investment.
After attending a series of property viewings or browsing through potential choices, familiarize yourself with the financial implications, such as costs and associated taxes. If you are contemplating obtaining financing, remember to review and compare the ratings and conditions of both local and international banking institution s.
03 04 05 06
Prior to any purchases, we strongly suggest consulting a Portugal-based financial advisor This will provide a comprehensive insight into the financial consequences and additional commitments that a property investment may have on your individual circumstances.
Select a local lawyer or solicitor known for their expertise and experience within the Portuguese real estate market. This legal professional will be able to provide valuable guidance on any potential deals and perform due diligence on property documentation. Furthermore, they will clarify the resources at your disposal and assist you in navigating through the process of purchase until the transaction is successfully concluded.
Portugal, as part of the EU, follows stringent laws and regulations that imply a scrutiny of funding for property acquision. You will be subjected to a Know Your Client procedure by most of the companies or professionals involved in a property transaction, namely, Quinta do Lago Real Estate, acting as your property agency. This KYC procedure is mandatory by law, under the Anti Money Laundry and Terrorism Financing act. Your ID, source of funds, professional activity or any politically exposed position must be declared.
There are certain expenditures associated with purchasing a property in Portugal that need thoughtful financial planning. These acquisition costs may be utilised to offset potential future liabilities arising from the capital gains tax, on the condition that they are carefully documented.
Thus, it is fundamental to maintain and systematically organize these records properly. When you purchase the property in your own name, you will need to pay fixed fees for Notarial and Registration acts. Additionally, the Property Transfer Tax (IMT) and Stamp Duty will be calculated based on the purchase value of the property.
When purchasing a property, it’s important to be aware of the associated taxes. Stamp Duty is a fixed tax rate of 0.8%, while the Property Transfer Tax is a variable tax that depends on the property type and ranges from 1% to 8%.
In the Quinta do Lago market, the typical rate for Property Transfer Tax varies from 6% to 7.5%, with plots specifically at 6.5%, which aligns with the local property prices within this region. These taxes require a one-time payment upon the property purchase.
It is important to take into account the legal fees associated with your lawyer. Although these can vary considerably among solicitors, they usually constitute about 1% to 2% of the transactional value.
Aside from the Transfer Tax, there is an Annual Property Tax (IMI) payable annually in either 2 or 3 installments. In some cases, certain properties that surpass a specific valuation may be subject to an additional annual property tax referred to as AIMI.
The calculation of both taxes is based on the Property Rateable Value (VPTValor Patrimonial Tributário) of the real estate property. The local Municipality determines the tax rates annually, which fluctuate between 0.3% and 0.8%.
Quinta do Lago and other nearby resorts, governed by the Municipality of Loulé, have traditionally been on the lower end of the spectrum, remaining at 0.3% over the past few years.
There are different ownership structures and the progression toward a definitive acquisition will pursue a divergent trajectory in accordance with the type of structure you choose.
Each option will lead to a distinctive path in terms of securing the ownership of your selected property.
● Purchasing the property under the name of the prospective buyer(s);
● Acquiring the property under the designation of a company, be it domestic or international;
Typically, legal professionals are responsible for the formulation, negotiation, and endorsement of a Share Purchase Agreement. This document delineates the terms and conditions for the transaction’s execution, including provisions for deposits, deadlines, and penalties.
Prior to the official endorsement of the Share Purchase Agreement, a Due Diligence procedure is usually implemented by the purchasing party’s legal counsel to examine all documentation pertinent to the transaction.
Upon mutual agreement, a specific date is accorded for the finalization of the transaction. At this time, this involves signing a terminal document that meets all the necessary final transactional requirements.
Local legal advisors, who are well-versed in these matters, can provide indispensable guidance and necessary support to improve your understanding of each ownership structure. Additionally, they will have access to comprehensive information relevant to every possible scenario.
Upon acceptance and agreement of the offer, the buyer and seller instruct their respective legal representatives to commence the legal and administrative procedures necessary for the transfer of the property.
To ensure the property’s transaction, a “Promissory Contract of Purchase and Sale” (CPCV) is typically drafted and agreed upon by the lawyers of both parties. During the negotiation phase, it is typical for some of the details of this document to have already been settled by both parties.
Prior to the CPCV, a refundable reservation fee may sometimes be requested and held by Quinta do Lago Real Estate as trustees.
This promissory contract usually outlines the major clauses that are required to be incorporated within the final deed, which serves as the official document facilitating the property’s transfer and must be signed at an authorised Notary’s Office. Your legal team along with the Quinta do Lago Real Estate consultants will make sure that all legal requirements are accomplished and that a safe and smooth transaction takes place.
● It is mandatory to include the purchase price and terms of payment in any transaction - a deposit between 10% to 25% is typically considered standard.
● A contract may be subject to the buyer securing the necessary financing for the transaction, a satisfactory evaluation of the paperwork during due diligence, and a satisfactory Structural Survey report, among others.
● The timeline for completion of the transaction usually takes between 30 and 90 days to occur.
● The implications of a potential contractual breach whilst generic consequences can be mutually agreed upon. They usually include the vendor’s right to retain the initial deposit if the breach is caused by the buyer. If the vendor causes the breach, the obligation to return twice the value of the initial deposit to the buyer is included.
Obtain the residency in Portugal and find out which option suits you best.
Portugal stands out in rankings as one of the most attractive countries for foreigners, and the reasons seem obvious. Safety, a favourable climate, diverse cuisine, and an affordable cost of living are decisive factors. Additionally, the ease of obtaining residency and staying leagally in the country is also a significant reason.
It is at this point that some recent changes deserve consideration.
Choosing the right visa should always be assessed on a caseby-case basis, taking into account the individual’s goals and the purpose of their stay in Portugal.
Broadly speaking, there are two main categories of visas for entry into Portugal:
● Schengen Visa
● National Visa
The Schengen Visa is intended for short stays of up to 90 days and is typically used for tourism, family visits, business trips, meetings, or other short-term purposes.
For stays exceeding 90 days, individuals must apply for a National Visa, which includes:
Temporary Stay Visa – for stays of more than three months and up to one year, often granted for seasonal work, extended medical treatment, or similar circumstances.
Residence Visa – for stays longer than one year.
Among the residence visas, the most frequently used by foreigners looking to reside and regularise their status in Portugal are the D2 – Entrepreneur Visa, D7 – Passive Income Visa, and D8 – Digital Nomad Visa.
The application process for all three visa types (D2, D7, and D8) begins at a Portuguese Embassy or Consulate. Once the visa is granted, the applicant may enter Portugal and apply in person for a residence permit.
Though the process is similar, each visa serves a distinct purpose:
D2 – Entrepreneur Visa. Aimed at non-EU citizens intending to start a business or work as self-employed individuals in Portugal.
D7 – Passive Income Visa. Designed for non-EU citizens who can demonstrate a stable income from pensions, real estate, intellectual property, or financial investments.
D8 – Digital Nomad Visa. Intended for remote workers — freelancers or employees of foreign companies — who wish to live in Portugal while working for clients or employers outside the country.
Holders of a residence permit under any of these visas must reside in Portugal and may not be absent for more than six consecutive months or eight non-consecutive months.
For non-EU nationals who do not intend to relocate to Portugal but wish to invest, the Residence Permit for Investment Activity (ARI) — commonly known as the Golden Visa — remains a relevant option.
Unlike the D2, D7, or D8, the ARI is not a visa but a residence permit applied for directly in Portugal, based on proof of qualified investment.
Eligible investment options include:
● Subscription of approved investment or venture capital funds
● Donations to the arts or scientific research
● Job creation
● Capitalisation of new or existing companies
In this case, only 14 days of stay every two years in Portugal are required.
Each type of residence permit has distinct requirements. It is advisable to consult AIMA and seek expert advice to access updated and accurate information tailored to your situation.
With the closure of the Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) regime, and a transitional phase for current applicants, Portugal has launched a new regime — IFICI , often referred to as RNH 2.0
Designed to attract skilled professionals, the regime is available to those who:
● Become tax residents in Portugal
● Have not been tax residents in the previous five years
● Earn income in specific eligible fields
These fields include:
a) Higher education and research professionals in Portugal’s science and technology system
b) Executive roles in companies benefiting from investment incentives
c) High-skilled roles in finance and economics (to be defined by ordinance)
d) Roles in certified start-ups under Law No. 21/2023
Tax benefits include:
● A flat 20% tax rate on eligible employment or service income
● Exemptions on certain foreign income, excluding pensions
This status is granted for 10 consecutive years, provided the individual maintains Portuguese tax residency and income from eligible activities.
