At Aspire International School, we are proud to serve families living in and around Quinta do Lago — one of the Algarve’s most prestigious resorts and a jewel of the Golden Triangle. Just minutes from our campus in Almancil, Quinta do Lago offers an unrivalled lifestyle of natural beauty, leisure, and sophistication.

A Visionary Resort with a Unique History

Quinta do Lago was founded in the early 1970s, when property developer André Jordan recognised the potential of the Algarve’s stunning Ria Formosa coastline. What began as a stretch of untouched land soon transformed into one of Europe’s most exclusive luxury resorts.

Over the decades, Quinta do Lago has grown into an international community renowned for:

• World-class golf courses, including championship-level fairways.
• Ria Formosa Natural Park, a protected landscape of lagoons and wildlife.
• Fine dining and vibrant lifestyle options, from beachside restaurants to gourmet experiences.
• Luxury homes and villas, attracting families from across the world.

Today, Quinta do Lago remains a symbol of vision and quality — combining natural beauty with an unrivalled lifestyle.

For families moving to the Algarve, Quinta do Lago offers more than just luxury living. It is a community where international residents enjoy:
