For me, that’s what makes this month so exciting. There’s more time for the things that make Quinta special: a morning on the golf course, more time at The Campus, discovering what’s growing at Q Farm, or simply finding a favourite table and staying there a little longer. There’s plenty happening across the resort this month, from sport and food to new-season style and some very good reasons to get together. So, consider this your invitation to turn the page with us. The next chapter is looking rather good. Enjoy!

WH AT’S ON
SEPTEMBER, WELL SPENT September doesn’t need a grand finale. It needs good plans. In fact, September marks a new season enjoyed a little slower and savoured a little more. A long lunch that runs into the afternoon. Live music drifting across the lake. Something delicious you didn't cook yourself. A little sport, a glass of wine that quietly becomes two. This is less about holding on to summer's last days, and more about stepping into everything September has to offer, one very well-spent day at a time.
A MATTER OF GOOD TASTE: AN EVENING OF WINE AT CASA VELHA 2nd September | 18:00 | Casa Velha Wednesday gets a little more interesting. Settle in for an evening where good food meets great wine, with Casa Velha’s à la carte menu paired with a handpicked selection of wines designed to bring out the best in every bite. Good taste, quite literally, takes centre stage. Reserve your place at the table.
PILATES AND AFTERNOON TEA 11th September | 16:00 | PURE
Pilates first. Afternoon Tea to follow. Because wellness is much more enjoyable when there’s cake involved. Start with movement and mindful stretching at Q Reformer Pilates, then reward yourself with a beautifully curated Afternoon Tea at Pure. Feeling good was never about saying no to the finer things, it's about timing them perfectly. Book your mat at The Campus Reception today!

WH A T’S ON
A NEW SEASON. A FRESH ROUTINE. As the school year begins, it’s the perfect time for the whole family to get back into sport. From golf at the Quinta do Lago Golf Academy to tennis, padel, swimming, cycling, triathlon and more at The Campus, children can learn new skills, build confidence and discover a sport they love. And while they get back into their routine, it’s time to get back into yours. Return to the gym, restart your training and make movement part of your week again. New term. New goals. Back to sport at Quinta do Lago. Register your children and get your own routine back on track.
