Map & location
Quinta Do Lago, Algarve, Portugal
Wyndham Grand Algarve sits in the heart of Quinta do Lago, one of the Algarve’s most exclusive enclaves. You’re surrounded by emerald fairways, umbrella pines and the bird-filled lagoons of the Ria Formosa Natural Park, with chic restaurants and designer villas sprinkled between.
It’s a relaxed, self-contained setting: spend the morning on a nearby championship course, wander the nature trails in the afternoon, then head to the lakefront or beach boardwalk for sunset cocktails and seafood. Faro city, with its historic walled old town and marina, is close enough for an easy day or evening out.

- bars and restaurants 1.5km

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
You’ll find a relaxed, resort-style pool scene tailored to both families and couples.
Outdoors there are two freshwater pools including a spacious main pool with surrounding sunbathing terrace and a separate children’s pool with its own sunbeds and parasols. Complimentary pool towels are provided, and a whirlpool corner invites you to linger a little longer in the water.
When you want a change of scene, head down to Quinta do Lago’s long sandy beach, around 2km away, where boardwalks curve over the dunes and you can settle into a beachfront restaurant or stroll along the shore. A complimentary seasonal shuttle typically operates between the hotel and the beach from 1 July to 31 August (subject to change).
Spa, sports & wellness
At the heart of the resort is the serene Grand Spa by Cinq Mondes, an adults-only haven (18+) with an indoor freshwater pool with whirlpool, sauna, steam room and Turkish bath. A curated treatment menu blends signature massages and rituals with facials and body therapies, ideal for easing post-flight or post-golf tension (treatments incur extra charge; opening hours usually 09:00–20:00, subject to occupancy).
The gym, equipped by PRECOR, offers a weights area, fixed strength equipment and the possibility of personal training sessions (extra cost; minimum age 16 years), so staying on top of your fitness routine is easy.
Golfers benefit from on-site golf storage and concierge that can assist with tee times on the local championship courses. Elsewhere, the wider Quinta do Lago area offers horse riding, water sports on the lake, tennis and nature walks through the Ria Formosa wetlands – perfect for active days in the Algarve sunshine.
