Hotel Quinta Do Lago, Quinta do Lago, The Algarve, Portugal & Madeira
It was onto a winner from the get-go thanks to the fantastic setting – next to the Ria Formosa in the heart of the Nature Park, with a number of magnificent golf clubs right on the doorstep, and the only seafront setting in the über-exclusive Quinta do Lago Resort itself.
And with its beach just a stroll, rather than a shuttle-ride away, and some of the most spacious rooms in The Algarve, this hotel – one of the most prestigious in the area, and a member of Leading Hotels of the World since 1988 – is strong competition for its more contemporary counterparts.
