THE MAGIC BEGINS HERE
As November unfolds, Quinta do Lago embraces the season with warmth, energy, and inspiration — from Dano’s comforting Sunday roasts to golden afternoons on our world-class golf courses, festive dining, live music, and thrilling events at The Campus.
It’s the perfect time to slow down, savour each moment, and reconnect with family, friends, and yourself. We’re also celebrating a proud achievement — Quinta do Lago has been honoured as Portugal’s Leading Resort 2025 at the World Travel Awards. This recognition reflects the passion, dedication, and excellence of our incredible team and the loyal guests who make this community so special.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made the Campus Carby Volkswagen Ladies Open such a success, from the Quinta do Lago and The Campus teams to the Portuguese Tennis Federation and all participants. Congratulations to champion Maria Timofeeva on her fantastic win.
As we look ahead to our Christmas and New Year celebrations, we can’t wait to share the joy and magic of the festive season with you at Quinta do Lago.
AUTUMN’S LUXURY LINEUP: QUINTA IN FULL STYLE
As autumn settles over Quinta do Lago, the Algarve’s golden season invites you to rediscover the beauty of living close to nature. This month, explore properties that embody the essence of the resort’s lifestyle — beginning with a semi-detached villa in the exclusive southern area, steps away from Quinta do Lago Beach, and the Ria Formosa. A penthouse in the heart of the resort offers sweeping southwest views of the lake and ocean, complete with a rooftop pool, private lift, and elegant interiors. Along Rua Sado, a refined estate overlooks the fairways and sea, featuring a spa, cinema, guest apartment, and rooftop terrace. This autumn, Quinta do Lago Real Estate invites you to discover homes where luxury meets nature and every sunset feels like golden perfection.
Warm wishes , Sean Moriarty
OUR SUGGESTION OF THE MONTH:
DANO’S SUNDAY ROAST, WHERE SUNDAYS TASTE BETTER
CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE: QUINTA DO LAGO CROWNED PORTUGAL’S LEADING RESORT 2025
We are delighted to share that Quinta do Lago has been named Portugal’s Leading Resort 2025 at the prestigious World Travel Awards — a recognition of our commitment to excellence, innovation, and refined hospitality. This honour reflects the dedication of our team, the loyalty of our guests, and our passion for creating an unparalleled lifestyle experience in the Algarve. At Quinta do Lago, we continue to set the standard for luxury and wellbeing, offering world-class amenities, inspiring sporting events, and tranquil escapes surrounded by nature. As we celebrate this achievement, we look forward to raising the bar even higher in 2026 and beyond.
This month, we’re all about the simple pleasures. Because Sundays are for gravy, not grocery runs. There’s no better way to spend a cosy Sunday afternoon than gathering around the table for a proper Danos Sunday roast - juicy, tender meats, crispy roast potatoes, golden Yorkshire puddings complete with all the trimmings and none of the washing up. It’s basically a hug on a plate.
WHEN THE MAGIC LIGHTS UP THE SKY
There’s a moment each year when Quinta do Lago transforms — when the air feels brighter, the music warmer, and hearts lighter. It’s the Christmas Light On Celebration, the enchanting evening that marks the beginning of the festive season. From 16:00 to 23:00, wander through a world of wonder: twinkling lights, joyful laughter, live music, and the sparkle of our Christmas Market. Children’s laughter fills the air, with face painting, glitter, games, and Christmas workshops bringing the magic to life. Then comes the moment everyone awaits — as the lights of Quinta do Lago shine across the night, illuminating not just the resort, but the spirit of Christmas itself.
