Luxurious Slow-Living in Portugal's Former Hippie Enclave Comporta
Comporta is a small paradise between vast pristine sandy beaches and pine forests. It is the epitome of deceleration and simplicity. Located south of Lisbon in a 17-hectare garden, surrounded by cork oaks and pine trees, Sublime Comporta has set out to provide guests with luxurious ease and tranquility while respecting nature.
The hotel has a total of 90 rooms, suites, and Comporta Cabanas. Wooden cabanas with terraces and natural bathing ponds are spaciously arranged on the grounds. White light-filled interiors are combined with warm wooden artifacts such as Balinese doors or sculptures made of petrified wood.
The three restaurants use produce from the resort's organic garden, orchard, and forest. The restaurants are complemented by a bar that has a large terrace overlooking the pool.
It's a perfect place if you love being active in nature: there are gorgeous surf spots in Comporta, and horseback riding and golf are also available not far from the resort. A wide range of wellness treatments awaits you at the spa, which is equipped with a sauna, a steam bath, a heated indoor pool, and a fitness room.
Start the day with a dip in the natural pool, daydream swim on the beautiful beach, enjoy a light lunch at the new Comporta Beach Club, and ride off into the sunset before ending the evening with delicious local fare at one of the restaurants. Or time travel by visiting the old fishing town of Comporta with its port and little wooden houses all built on stilts.
