Portugal
Sublime Comporta
Take a step back in time to Comporta and discover a picture-perfect paradise seemingly frozen in time. Set against silky white sand beaches and a backdrop of rolling dunes and verdant paddy fields, Sublime Comporta is a tranquil hideaway where you can enjoy all that this charming coastal town has to offer. Nestled amongst a 17-acre estate, you’ll find 23 hotel rooms and suites alongside 22 villas that seamlessly blend natural beauty with contemporary luxury. Surrounded by tranquil gardens and basked in sunshine, we can’t think of a better spot to escape to.
Location
Just an hour’s drive south of Lisbon, Comporta is the perfect antidote to city life. Driving down through undulating umbrella pine and cork tree forests, you’ll immediately feel at ease. Boasting a coastline that stretches 60km, you’ll have no trouble finding your own private paradise here. Live the Comporta life and take it easy exploring quaint villages, picnic-ing on deserted beaches, horseriding over dunes – or simply reading your book around the pool.
Your Room
Naturally elegant, Sublime Comporta’s beautiful rooms all feature neutral colour schemes with crisp white linens, exposed stone and smooth wooden accents. Each room, suite and villa each have their own unique character, some dazzle with mezzanines, some with indoor-outdoor fireplaces and others with private pools, but all in one way or another. If you’re travelling with family or friends, we loved the two-bedroom cabana villas. Super private and designed as a contemporary take on Comporta’s traditional homes, you’ll never want to leave.
Why we like it
The clue really is in the name here as Sublime Comporta is just that; Sublime. It’s chic and luxurious but oh-so laid back at the same time. It is a place where you can walk barefoot across the sands without a care in the world and spend evenings indulging in fine cuisine. For the ultimate culinary experience though, take a day trip down to an artisan fishing port and spend a day with a local fisherman. Ocean-to-table cuisine is the next big thing after all.
