General Information on Quinta do Lago:
'Quinta do Lago' is an exclusive residential and recreational estate set in 800 hectares of pine forests & lakes. The resort enjoys a superb location, bordered on its south eastern boundaries by the Ria Formosa Natural Park. The park is one of 23 protected areas in Portugal. This tidal inlet is the Unesco protected home of migratory birds & a wetland of world importance. It is one of the last unspoiled coastal zones in Europe. Effort is expended to protect the landscape & the wealth of flora & fauna that endow the region & to integrate a high quality of tourism development, without upsetting the delicate ecological balance. The region is also abundant in marine life & fosters a rich ecosystem for the propagation of migrant and resident birds, some rare and threatened. Quinta do Lago has created two nature trails, which have been designed to enhance awareness of the environment value of the area.
