Algarve Villa Holidays in the Golden Triangle

If you are searching for a choice of Algarve villa holidays in the Golden Triangle, you have come to the right place. We have a huge choice of Algarve villas for rent in this most desirable of locations between Almancil and the luxurious golfing and holiday resorts of Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo.

Summer in the Algarve is one thing, but summer in the Algarve’s Golden Triangle is quite another. Do not expect loud discos, all night bars and cheap, take away food here. This is not the Algarve for that. Do not expect beach revelry, drinking competitions and tacky souvenir shops either. Instead, expect the finest quality, expect peace and quiet, the best service, amazing food and expect to be mixing in the best circles. The Golden Triangle takes the best of what the Algarve has to offer, packages it in one neat little tri-cornered bundle and presents it as a gift, for the world to enjoy.

In Quinta do Lago for example; high end shopping is available at Quinta Shopping. Located at the roundabout which marks the entrance to the Quinta do Lago Resort, this shoppers paradise is filled with fashionable boutiques and fine dining restaurants, elegant furniture emporiums, jewellers and beauty salons. There are even English speaking estate agents on hand in case you decide to turn your luxury Algarve holiday into something a little more permanent.

Quinta do Lago offers three of the worlds finest and most challenging golf courses, the North and South courses and the newer Orangery course. This exclusive golfing holiday complex stands on nearly 810 hectares of the most picturesque countryside with pine forests abutting the Atlantic Ocean and the Ria Formosa Natural Park. Since the early 70’s it has been wining awards for excellence and it has built an enviable reputation as one of the premier spots for golf in the Algarve.

Vale do Lobo offers more of the same - more luxury, relaxation, superb villa accommodation, fabulous views and great golfing experiences. The activities, shopping, dining and the other entertainments laid on at this resort are all superb. Everything here is done to make the lives of the residents and guests that bit sweeter.

Vale do Lobo is a luxury golf and beach resort and it is no accident that the world golf is mentioned first in it tagline. Golf is the reason for Vale do Lobo and high quality, high end golf at that.

Vale do Lobo offers two of Europe’s most famous golf courses; The Royal Course and The Ocean Course. The Royal Course provides dramatic cliff top vistas whilst the Ocean course plots a gentler sweep down to the beach.

Vale do Lobo is unashamedly posh, it is decadent and luxurious in the extreme. Apartments here start at around €250.000 and don’t stop far short of a million and for a detached villa you can expect to pay anything up to €6.000,000.

Almancil, the third of our Golden Triangle locations has grown to provide support for the neighbouring holiday and residential developments of Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo This has had the effect of raising the bar in Almancil. The town has had to pander to the more discerning tastes of the residents and guests of these neighbouring developments and as a result, it too has taken on an entirely new and upmarket persona.

A good selection of restaurants offers many different cuisines and as you might expect, a number of estate agents offices, interior designers and furniture shops have sprung up to cater to the needs of both locals and expatriates alike.
