Additionally, Quinta do Lago is nominated for ‘World’s Best Golf Venue 2026’ and ‘Europe’s Best Golf Real Estate Venue 2026’, while the renowned South Course – a course which has hosted the Portuguese Open eight times – is nominated for ‘World’s Best Golf Course 2026’ and ‘Portugal’s Best Golf Course 2026’.
Set in the heart of the Ria Formosa Natural Park, sustainability remains key to Quinta do Lago’s vision, with ongoing golf resort initiatives recognised through its nomination for ‘Europe’s Best Eco-Friendly Golf Facility 2026’, underscoring the resort’s commitment to responsible water management, nature preservation and eco-friendly resource conservation.
Sean Moriarty, CEO of Quinta do Lago, said: “To receive eight nominations at this year’s World Golf Awards is a great honour and a testament to the team’s ongoing dedication. It is especially gratifying to see recognition not only for the South Course but also for our broader venue, real estate projects and sustainability efforts.
