The resort provides everything you need for a comfortable and luxurious stay and sits within the famous “golden triangle” of the Algarve, known for its luxury resorts and Michelin star restaurants. The resort is set on the pristine Portuguese coast, and its warm Mediterranean climate makes it an excellent location for families and friends wanting to enjoy the wonderful attractions of the region. Quinta Verde has an array of leisurely features such as a state-of-the-art gym, health spa and beauty salon, tennis courts and a golf course. Security is no issue here as the resort is secured by 24 hour CCTV monitoring and manned guarding. Being close to the prestigious resorts of Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago, the resort is never far from dining, golfing, and shopping hub. For those wanting to venture out to the Algarve, there is a lively region full of surfing, wind sports and sailing. Visitors to the Algarve are spoiled for choice when it comes to seaside towns and stunning natural coastline. Head to the old town of Faro (and the capital of the Algarve) and spend a day exploring the winding, cobbled roads of the old town which is surrounded by historic Roman walls. Daily markets sell fresh local produce, as well as handmade crafts and clothing specific to the region. Grab a picnic and head to Praia de Faro for a change in beach scenery, or take a walk along the award-winning marina and soak up the European cafe culture. Further out is the Ludo Hiking Trail, a stunning nature track that gets you up close to the salt pools of Unesco-protected Rio Formosa lagoon and all its wildlife. The track is a birdwatcher’s paradise with flocks of flamingos and Spoonbills year-round, but the natural sanctuary is home to more than 250 species. The track is relatively easy, coming in at 7km and will take approximately three to four hours. Conde Nast traveller declared local restaurant Gigi Praia as the ultimate lunch experience, serving up fresh seafood and locally grown vegetables with spectacular views of the Rio Formosa National Park.
