Save the date: the next Secret Doors opens on the 27th of October. The location, of course, is another matter. To find out where, and to catch every address drop, follow @qdlrealestate on Instagram. You'll also enjoy property news, behind-the-scenes moments and exclusive events. Keep an eye on the page to see which door opens next. You never know where Secret Doors will take you.

there’s Cocktail Week, Beer Fest and a Halloween programme offering more than enough temptation to derail even the best-laid October plans. There’s plenty to look forward to this month, from catching up with familiar faces and making the most of some family time to discovering what’s new across the resort.

So, wherever you find yourself around Quinta do Lago this month, get involved, try something different, and enjoy the ride. Have a great October!

Warm wishes, Sean Moriarty
