€10 million high-performance sports centre opens at Quinta do Lago
Quinta do Lago resort has officially inaugurated its new €10 million high-performance sports centre, The Campus.
This state-of-the-art sports complex is open to everyone and is described as the “perfect place for sports lovers, no matter their age and level of training”.
Set in the heart of Quinta do Lago, one of Europe’s most prestigious and luxurious resorts, the sports centre boasts tennis and paddle courts, several gyms, indoor fitness, wellness and cycling infrastructures, two heated outdoor pools, a sauna, Turkish baths, a “hot and cold bath for muscle recovery” and medical and holistic therapy rooms.
There is also a Bike Shed where people can rent bikes and go on rides inside and outside the resort, a private lake where swimmers can practice, training facilities for tri-athletes and a football pitch which is already being sought by teams from the UK, France, China, Croatia, Denmark and Portugal.
According to the resort, the opening of this sports centre will only help strengthen its reputation as a top destination for athletes and sports enthusiasts.
“Quinta do Lago seeks to continue to reinvent itself with the goal of maintaining its reputation, increasing its worth in the market and attracting new residents and visitors,” says CEO Sean Moriarty.
“The Campus is just one of many projects that have been developed such as The Magnolia Hotel or the renovation of our North Golf Course.”
Moriarty had already said this summer that “the beauty of this complex is you don’t have to be a world-class or even professional athlete, as we also cater for guests who simply want to use the facilities at their leisure for fitness or as a hobby.”
