The Ria Park Garden Hotel is set among pine trees in Vale Do Lobo, amidst almost 2000 acres of gentle hills and pine forests in the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve, a haven for birds and other local wildlife. The white sands of Garrao Beach are just 800 metres away and the property occupies a quiet and secluded location on the outskirts of the resort centre. In Vale do Lobo and nearby Quinta do Lago there are some of the best golf courses in Europe.
