Tranquillity and Harmony - Preserving the environment

Concern for the environment is the focus of special attention at Quinta do Lago. To maintain the delicate ecological balance within the estate, which is flanked by the Ria Formosa Natural Park, stringent regulations have been implemented by Quinta do Lago SA. A strict, low density master-plan allows for only eight percent of construction of the total area of the estate, ensuring plenty of green space. Private villas, townhouses and village developments are carefully integrated into natural areas, nestling at lakeside, secluded by woodland or flanking the golf courses.

The tidal inlet area that is part of the Ria Formosa is recognized as a wetland of world importance and a natural habitat for rare and endangered species of migrating or nesting birds (IBA – Important Bird Area).

A wide variety of species, as well as other wildlife, can be observed in their natural habitats along Quinta do Lago’s two nature trails which were established to allow residents and visitors to fully appreciate the beauty of the natural landscape in an organized way.

Since its formative years Quinta do Lago has worked closely with the Ria Formosa Nature Park administration to protect the flora and fauna and to integrate high quality tourist development with the environment. This has been achieved with an eco-friendly programme of landscape and garden maintenance aimed at preserving the delicate ecological balance.
