For those who enjoy swimming, there is an indoor, heated pool (12 x 6 metres) and an outdoor, heated pool (24.5 x 12.3 metres). The temperature of both is kept at a constant 30 degrees Celsius (80 degrees Fahrenheit).

There is also a children's pool measuring 8.6 x 5.6 metres and 0.70 x 0.95 metres deep.

Aquatic aerobics classes are also available on request.

The Beach

Although the beautiful, white sand beach is not strictly within the hotel grounds, it is - figuratively speaking - in its back garden.

And it's just a few minutes' walk across the picturesque wooden bridge that crosses the tidal lagoon to the dunes and Gigi's, one of the most famous eating places in the Algarve.

Watersports are available to hotel guests.

Tennis Courts

There are two, all-weather, floodlit tennis courts at the hotel, and the first hour of play is free of charge for guests plus we can also provide Tennis Raquets and Balls.

Professional instruction is available for players at all levels. Advance bookings for courts and lessons are essential and can be made at the Health Club reception.

There are four championship courses within Quinta do Lago itself, and eight more within easy reach - a true paradise for golfers who enjoy the challenge of quality golf courses in beautiful surroundings and making Quinta do Lago one of the most comprehensive golf hotels in the world.
