Conrad Algarve sits in the heart of Quinta do Lago, one of the Algarve’s most exclusive enclaves and part of the region’s famed “Golden Triangle”. You’re surrounded by over 2,000 acres of Ria Formosa Natural Parkland, with pine forests, saltwater lagoons and birdlife on your doorstep, plus a string of championship golf courses and stylish restaurants within easy reach.
