Things to Do

Golf lovers shouldn’t miss the opportunity to play a round or two on one of five championship golf courses in the area, and lessons are available if you need to brush up on your technique. Nature buffs will enjoy Ria Formosa Natural Park, a protected tidal lagoon which is a haven for bird and sea life including flamingos, seahorses and chameleons – this area is best explored by boat or kayak. For some history and culture head to nearby Faro where you can wander the lanes and squares of the old town and marvel at museums, churches and the famous bone chapel.

Eating and Drinking

You’ll find a variety of excellent places to eat in both Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo, from beach cafes to fine dining restaurants. Just a short drive away in Faro diners are spoilt for choice with restaurants and food markets. Throughout the Eastern Algarve, you will find Portuguese restaurants serving up grilled fresh fish and seafood stew with rice, as well as piri-piri (spicy seasoning) chicken restaurants. Local vineyards at Tavira and Albufeira produce deep-coloured, fruity rosé wine, but crisp, cold vinho verde (young wine) from the north of Portugal is a popular choice on a hot summer’s day. Try local desserts made from almonds and figs, and finish with a shot of Monchique’s medronho, a spirit distilled from the fruit of the ‘strawberry tree’.
