What kind of plant life grows in the area?
The area is blessed by contrasting soil types and the natural and manmade landscapes. You will see pine trees, palm trees and some species of shrub that grow much further north – such as heather and broom – although varieties are dictated by the warm Algarve climate. Quinta do Lago also has 700 species of exotic flowers to enjoy, as well as the natural vegetation of the sand dunes and wetlands. Public areas, luxury villa gardens and hotel grounds have been extravagantly landscaped to provide colour – from the deep pink of the bougainvillea to the sunshine yellow of the mimosa.
