When families look for a place to live in the Algarve, few names stand out like the Golden Triangle. Made up of Vilamoura, Quinta do Lago, and Vale do Lobo, this region is famous for its luxury lifestyle, natural beauty, and vibrant international community.

At Aspire International School, located just minutes from all three resorts, we are proud to be the international school in the Golden Triangle, supporting families who choose to make this unique part of Portugal their home.

What is the Golden Triangle?

The “Golden Triangle” is the name given to the prestigious area of the central Algarve bordered by Vilamoura to the west, Quinta do Lago to the east, and Vale do Lobo at its heart.

Originally developed in the 1960s and 1970s, these resorts transformed the Algarve from a quiet coastal region into one of Europe’s leading luxury destinations. Today, the Golden Triangle is known worldwide for:

  • Championship golf courses
  • Pristine beaches and the Ria Formosa Natural Park
  • The iconic Vilamoura Marina
  • Fine dining and world-class hospitality
  • Exclusive homes and international communities
