QUINTA DA RIA

The first of the two 18-hole courses stretches over an area with spectacular views, on the east coast of the Algarve, better known as the Sotavento. The Quinta da Ria golf course, located in the Ria Formosa Natural Park, has been described by experienced golfers as one of the most beautiful in the region. In fact, overlooking the estuary of the Ria Formosa, the views to the sand below and to the shuttle of the tides, are breath-taking. When designing the course Quinta da Ria, the architect Rocky Rocquemore knew how to preserve the natural habitat by taking advantage of the existing natural landscape, which has already been described by many golfers as one of the most beautiful in the region. The view over the sea and the sand to the south and the mountain view to the north, make Quinta da Ria a real paradise for golfers. Along the 18 holes we find five large lakes, which serve as habitat for a wide variety of fauna species and are also an important resource for field watering. The innumerable carob trees, olive trees and existing almond trees contribute to the balance of the ecosystem.
