Vilamoura, Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago form the Golden Triangle, so called because of the kind of triangular region formed by the three places, which combines unique weather conditions and stunning natural beauty.
Almancil, with its green spaces and cultural wealth, offers visitors a more picturesque Algarve, the fruit of a more traditional Portugal.
Quinta do Lago, the quiet and secluded Vale do Lobo resort, a favourite holiday spot for many celebrities, is world renowned for its fantastic golf courses, built close to the beach and lagoons, allowing golfers to enjoy the sea with the wonderful morning sea breeze. Bordered by the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, Quinta do Lago is visited by many tourists who look forward to the Algarve nature walks and birdwatching.
