Nice to haves

Echoing the traditional red tiles of Portuguese architecture, this impressive villa features a stunning crimson façade that's especially captivating thanks to its abundantly vivacious, contrasting green surroundings. Encompassed by verdant fauna, sprawling gardens and an emerald-green infinity pool, we might just define this home as bliss itself.

Inside, you'll find a tranquil yet modern interior, with a sociable open-plan living space bathed in natural light thanks to its concrete-vaulted ceilings and expansive windows. Minimalist designs have been accentuated with thoughtful touches and plush furnishings – bright white walls are softened by warm light fixtures – creating an ambient space to spend memorable moments in. There’s something undeniably cosy about the sociable living room – an idyllic place to spend game nights, nestled in the huge sofa. The sleek concrete dining table is the perfect spot to host decadent meals with your guests, whilst the gallery window overlooking the illuminated pool creates a striking mood. 

We think you’ll love this home’s outdoor terrace – thoughtfully designed for you to spend nights with your loved ones, sharing glasses of port after a day stretched out poolside. Fall into peaceful slumbers from your plush and spacious bedroom, ready to open your eyes to rich green views.

If you fancy wandering off-site, there are gold sand beaches surrounded by red cliffs in Melides, and if you’re seeking a day in the town, drive a short distance from your countryside oasis to Grandola where you’ll discover quaint streets and local restaurants.

Embodying the bohemian spirit of Comporta, this shabby chic villa is a dream for nature lovers. Built with local wood and thatched roofs, it’s the ideal choice for those looking for an authentic experience in rural Comporta. Sitting on an impressive pine forest of twenty hectares, you can simply relax and soak up the idyllic natural surroundings. 

Inside, the villas are every bit as contemporary and stylish as you’d want from your getaway. Each bedroom is beautifully bright yet cosy, with comforting throws and arts and crafts made by local artisans. The charming living and kitchen space is just as lovely, with a laid-back beachy style and nods to the region as portrayed through handmade pieces and artwork. 

The home is beautiful, and it’s from the outside that you can really appreciate it. By taking a step back, the full magnitude of it comes into vision. Standing on a platform, encircled by towering pine trees, and featuring a charming wrap-around porch, the villa really is the picture of hippy-chic. Spend mornings exploring the grounds, listening to the chirps of the early birds, before spending blissful hours relaxing on a sun lounger. Time stands still here, while you catch up on your book and occasionally take dips in the pool, before challenging your group to an afternoon game of volleyball. 

Despite the rural surroundings, you’re just a few minutes drive from the picturesque town of Carvalhal. The sugary white sand beaches are just an eight-minute drive away too, where you can either watch the surfers or get on the waves yourself. There’s something special and nostalgic about exploring an area by cycling around – your host can provide you with a bike to discover the idyllic natural beauty of rice terraces, pristine beaches, and the forests of Comporta.

If we were to tell you of a hideaway that sits in the middle of twelve hectares of lush pine forest in rural Comporta, you might imagine a certain type of home and we're willing to wager that it doesn't look anything like this wonderfully modern residence.

Not only does the boxy white exterior look visually striking from the outside, but this sense of awe will continue as you step through the glass doors. Our favourite space is the double-height living, which is flooded with natural light from the copious number of windows that line the walls. However, the modern brown kitchen and equally glossy bathrooms are sure to take your breath away, as well. The design throughout feels cohesive, united by a preference for clean lines, sleek surfaces and chic minimalism.

Given the agreeable climate that this corner of the Iberian peninsula enjoys, you'll likely want to spend as many hours outdoors as possible and that's easy to do here. The long infinity swimming pool is both wonderfully refreshing when the midday sun is at its highest and made all the more relaxing by the heady scent of fragrant herbs and vegetation that grow around the sides. There are plenty of terraces and balconies on which to take a seat and do nothing more strenuous than soak up the rays, but you can also find a tennis court if you fancy a match or two.

Although there's a strong sense of tranquillity from the isolated position, you don't have to venture far to find the Portuguese coastline. Carvalhal and Pego beaches can be reached in ten minutes or so in the car, and there are a few restaurants and bars to be found close to these seaside spots.

There are few places in the world as peaceful as the Comporta region. And here, in this Californian-style, boho-chic villa, you’re in the perfect place to switch off and recharge, just twenty-five minutes from the dazzling beaches of Comporta. Surrounded by an idyllic pine and cork oak forest and with your own glittering pool, relaxing comes easy. You wouldn’t think you’re just an hour’s drive from bustling Lisbon. 

It isn’t just the setting that makes this home so special. Despite the home’s recent renovation in 2021, the traditional touches of a terracotta tiled roof, original gas burner, and Portuguese-style tiles were kept. It’s been beautifully done to suit both a modern and traditional preference, respecting its roots while providing a contemporary level of comfort. The kitchen is a perfect example of this – top-notch appliances are met with rustic surfaces and shelves, embodying the bohemian spirit of Comporta. It’s certainly a kitchen that wants to be cooked in, whether that’s by you or a private chef.

As much as we love the interior, it’s the outdoor area that takes the cake. You’re wrapped up in dreamy haze of peach and pink here, with hours blissfully rolling by as you lie on the in-pool daybed, dipping your toe in the water, with nothing but the forest stretching around you. Life stands still and you finally get to the level of relaxation you’ve been craving. Afternoon pool dips are followed by crisp glasses of wine, enjoyed in the sparkling white 70s-style sofa pit. When dinnertime rolls around, present a feast of salads garnished with the herbs picked from your garden and barbecued local produce along the outdoor dining table, covered by the straw pergola. 

Peachy Dreams

Situated on a 23-hectare estate, a short drive from Carvalhal Beach, this villa ensures a restful stay from start to finish. You’ll have access to a communal infinity pool and volleyball court, but when you want some alone time, the home has its own private seating and dining area. Inside, it’s bright, modern and well-appointed. While the kitchen has everything you need for cooking up a storm, your host can arrange for a private chef to cater for you if you’d rather sit back, relax and make the most of the Portuguese sunshine.

A Sunshine Affair

Nestled within a private estate, this whitewashed home opens its doors to the natural beauty of the Portuguese coastline. Surrounded by pine and oak trees, this is the perfect setting to switch off and spend lazy days relaxing by the private pool. There is also a shaded terrace with a barbecue, and your host is on hand to help organise extras like catering and private chefs. Housekeeping is included in your stay and children’s amenities are available on request for an additional fee. From here, it’s possible to walk to the nearest shop, but we recommend hiring a car to explore further afield – the beautiful beaches of Comporta are less than thirty minutes away.

Nestled in gardens of lush pine and cork trees, this contemporary villa is where you can shed thoughts of the daily grind and embrace a slower pace of life. You'll have everything you need to while away the days – you won’t even have to leave. But if you start to get itchy feet, you’re close to the paradisiacal village of Comporta and its pristine beaches, surfing spots, and beachfront restaurants. Just hop on the bikes and explore.

Modern and striking, the gorgeous interior just about competes with the beauty of the outdoors. All rooms open up to the garden to let the fresh air in. Even the games room is bright and cosy – a welcoming space for good-spirited games of table football, or letting the kids entertain themselves with the games console. 

That said, we imagine you’ll spend most of your time making the most of the 8.5 hectares that this villa sits on. Start off your mornings with coffee in the early sunshine, then dabble in a spot of yoga in the garden. Succumb to lazy days of reading beside the overflowing pool, occasionally taking a dip in its crystalline waters to cool off. Enjoy lunchtimes beneath the shaded patio dining area, tucking into a meal from the barbecue.

As dinnertime rolls around, gather around the outdoor dining table and enjoy jugs of sangria, while the floodlights and starry sky light up the gardens. Don't feel like cooking? There's a fabulous restaurant just 200 metres away – or your host can arrange for a private chef to come and wow you with local dishes.

Pass to Paradise

Nestled on twelve hectares of verdant desert land, this palatial home waits to welcome you. The surroundings are peppered with Mediterranean pines and olive groves, creating a comfortable and secluded oasis. Floor-to-ceiling pocket doors lay bare the sumptuous interiors to the forest air and sunlight. Panoramic views of the countryside pair with the detailed decor inside, creating a sense of harmony – you can’t help but feel at peace here. 

Stretch your legs and wander the home’s expansive grounds, stopping at one of the outdoor seating areas. Speaking of, don’t you just want to sink your toes in the sand and embrace bare-foot living? We know we do. Balmy days by the pool beckon, and there’s plenty of space to spread out and relax. This is a great retreat to escape the flurry of everyday life, but if you fancy a day out you only need to drive fifteen minutes to reach sandy beaches and quaint villages. You can partake in horseback riding, surfing or winery tours, all popular within this region. 


Answering the Desert's Call 

Private Washing Machine

Nestled amid twenty-three hectares of lush nature and designed by an architect, this villa balances modern style and tranquil seclusion. Kids will beeline for the private pool, while the sun beds and outdoor seating are great for sharing drinks or an alfresco lunch. Foodies will love the two kitchens and the option of a private chef, and that's before you head down to Comporta or Grândola for mouth-watering local cuisine. Whether you have your own car or you're renting bikes or an off-road buggy, Carvalhal and Raposa beaches are within easy reach and you'll be well-placed to enjoy this gorgeous location. 

The Lake Fort

Charming and rustic, this rural villa is tucked away in Muda, a breathtaking countryside spot that features some gorgeous beaches just a short drive away. It sits surrounded by leafy nature that makes it feel secluded and special and is ideal for exploring on a sunny day. Inside, the home feels like a cosy cabin, with rugged decor and retro furniture. Outside is where the home truly shines though, with a private swimming pool and a large terrace where you can enjoy lovely days spent relaxing in the sunshine.

Nestled between the wild Atlantic shore and the majestic Serra de Grândola, the village of Melides is often described as Alentejo´s best-kept secret. And perched high in the surrounding hills, this home is perfectly poised to reveal the magic that makes this region so special. 

From the moment of arrival, you’ll want to pause and savour the captivating beauty of this setting. The uninterrupted views across the horizon fill this home with a palpable sense of peace – inviting you to slow down and celebrate life’s special moments.

Wake up early to watch the sunrise, savour your morning coffee from a lounger, take a refreshing dip in the heated pool and enjoy freshly prepared meals from the communal dining areas. Your host can also arrange for a private chef to prepare beautiful Portuguese dinners – inviting you to simply sit back and raise a glass to the good life. 

Beyond this private sanctuary, you’ll find an abundance of hiking trails welcoming you to explore your surroundings on foot, while the beach and local amenities are just a short drive away.

Access to Beach

Nestled in one of the Alentejo region's hidden gems, this sleek home offers the best of both worlds – a countryside location with easy access to the coast, it's ideal for families or friends seeking a balance of outdoor adventures and relaxation. Inside, you’ll find neutral colours and ample space for entertaining, allowing you to mingle with your guests over a glass of locally-produced wine.

Each morning, the warm Portuguese sun filters past the oak and pine and in through the large windows, beckoning you to start a new adventure. We recommend hopping onto one of the bikes to cycle past olive groves and rice paddies, before driving out to the nearby white-sand beaches for a dip in the Atlantic.

Amongst the Oak & Pine

Outdoor Shower

Anyone in search of a fuss-free retreat on the beautiful coast of Comporta will love this home. Secluded, rustic and simple – it’s the ideal setting to switch off and embrace the magic of the great outdoors. Consisting of a main house and an annexe, there’s ample space to stretch out and spend quality time together.

The Light of the World

Parking On Street

Nestled in the countryside between Grandola and Comporta, this elegant home is made up of a main house and a villa. There's more than enough space for everyone in the 700m2 garden with its private pool, alfresco dining space, and sports field. One of the villa's bedrooms is on its mezzanine level – the beds here are mattresses on the floor, and won't be suitable for every guest. We think this home is ideal for large families, or multiple families travelling together. Some of Portugal's best beaches are just a twenty-minute drive away, and Lisbon is around an hour away by car.

The Green Valley

DVD Player

On the wild shores of Portugal’s Atlantic coast, the region of Comporta boasts golden sand dunes, abundant pine forests and miles of spectacular scenery. It’s also renowned for its signature small thatched cabanas – crafted with locally sourced wood and grasses from the riverbanks. And this home (just a short walk from the beach) perfectly embodies this rich tradition of craftsmanship and heritage. 

Consisting of multiple buildings nestled amongst the trees, the owners have designed this space to honour the unique spirit of its surroundings, whilst adding a range of luxurious features. From the art and objects to the natural tones and textures, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of calm. 

Enjoy relaxing by the fire in the large open-plan living and dining room, savour delicious meals prepared by your private chef and experience total serenity in the elegant bedrooms (each with its own bathroom). Follow the views outside and you’ll find the garden welcoming you to wander through the trees and savour a refreshing dip in the pool. And with multiple seating areas, this is the perfect setting for magical sunset drinks and barbecue meals that linger long into the evening. 

However you choose to spend your time here, every moment promises to be enriched by the natural beauty of this location. 

Golden Earth

Live the boho lifestyle in this charming villa, based close to Comporto beach and providing you with a serene resting spot for when you’re not out exploring. We adore the bohemian decor and characterful artwork, such as the coloured glass collection, woven fabrics and wicker furniture, which gives the home a warm and welcoming feel. You can spend sunny mornings out on your shaded terrace, with a large lounge area that makes for a great place for your morning coffee. You can cook up delicious chorizo scrambled eggs in your quaint kitchen area and tuck in alfresco at the shaded dining table. In the evenings, plant yourself in a deckchair with a glass of fizz, and watch the sunset over the fields in the distance.

This villa resides in a peaceful and rural spot in Comporta, an idyllic village that sits peacefully between rice fields and the ocean. You’ll be based just a stroll away from a 60km-long stretch of stunning beaches, and so ideally located for sea swimming, sunbathing, and spotting dolphins swimming off of the coast. It's easy to spend a whole day exploring the vibrant bars and fantastic restaurants that line the seafront.

Some homes feel like a work of art, and this striking villa is one of them. Perfectly embodying the bohemian spirit of Comporta while incorporating angular, valued ceilings and contemporary touches, this home is a gem of a find. 

Firstly, we’re in awe of the spectacular garden. Nestled on your own private land, surrounded by verdant pine trees and nature, relaxing comes with ease. Out here, the hours whittle away while you’re relaxing on the sun loungers, taking a dip in the heated pool, catching up on your book on the bean bags, and taking in the scenery. When lunchtime rolls around, grill up a feast of local produce on the barbecue and gather around the pergola-covered bench-style dining table. 

Inside lends itself to any occasion, with the huge windows flooding the home with natural light and the scent of crisp pine hanging in the air. But in the evenings, the fireplace and warm-toned lighting make for wonderful cosy nights spent watching films. And with stylish yet comfortable bedrooms, all of which lead out to the garden, and super sleek bathrooms, the villa continues to impress.

When you want to get out and explore this beautiful slice of Portugal, you’re just 5km from the closest beach and its surfing spots, beachfront restaurants, and sugary white sand. The town is even closer, just 2km away, where you’ll find an array of restaurants and bars. But if you want to make the most of your villa but cooking is off the cards, your host can arrange for a private chef to take care of dinner for you. 

Comporta Dreaming

Record Player

It's pretty clear what was at the top of the list for the architect that designed this intriguing home in Comporta – natural light and lots of it. Enormous walls of glass line the sides of the home and the dazzlingly white interior design only accentuates this plentiful natural asset. These huge windows also have the added benefit of looking out to peaceful views of local rice fields, too.

As you can probably begin to tell, it's a rather relaxing address. There are lots of spots in the tropical garden in which to appreciate the local tranquillity, whether on the back of a lounger or while dining alfresco on the table. Whenever the temperature takes a dip, you can head back inside and cosy up next to the contemporary fireplace in the lounge.

When it comes to seeing a little more of the locale, there are vast swathes of golden beaches covering the Portuguese coastline that start from as close as 1.5km away, while the nearest town is only 2km away for when you're in need of restaurants and shops.

You can look forward to dark wooden furniture, traditional fabrics, and rare wallpaper – the elegant dining room showcases hunting scenes and is a marvellous spot for a private chef-prepared feast. The lower garden is a tree-filled haven, while the upper garden has a heated pool, fruit trees, and a vegetable garden. You can fully unwind in this beautiful home. 

Sunkissed Delight

Wow your friends and family with a stay at this designer villa, quietly removed from the bustle of the West Coast's Comporta and yet just moments from the beach.

Inside, this place is a design lover's dream, with a chic dining room to host glamourous dinner parties and a high-style living room and adjoining library to beat the heat with afternoon reads and slumbers. While over in the bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms, curated art and splashes of azure blue add layers of interest and style.

But it's outside, hopping between the vast palm-fringed terraces and one-of-a-kind saltwater pool, where we think you'll be spending most of your time. Sneak away to the shady pergola for a cheeky siesta – the soft burbling of the contemporary water feature should help you drift off nicely. And when it's time to get your ensemble together, that covered veranda (with heaps of room for you and some guests) has sundowners written all over it.

When the sea finally lures you in, Comporta's shores, backed by wild grass-tufted sand dunes (just over one kilometre away), deliver all the cool, beach-shack vibes you're chasing. Or, for a complete change of pace, hop in the car for a day out in Lisbon – it's closer than you think.

Wild West Coast

From the soft light and natural tones to the idyllic setting, the mood is slow, simple and relaxed – inspiring you to settle in and make it your own. Wake up early and watch the sunrise from the roof terrace, embrace cooling dips in the pool and savour delicious evening drinks served on the terrace. Your host can also arrange a private chef – ensuring every moment of your stay feels personal and special. 

For daytime adventures, make the short drive to the nearest beach (just 5km away), rent bikes or follow nearby hiking trails. Surrounded by forest with white sandy beaches on your doorstep, this serene stretch of coastline will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired by the unique magic of Comporta.

Guests will be instantly drawn to the outdoors when they stay in this five-bedroom home. We recommend making a beeline for the luxurious infinity pool, which overlooks the sea and hilly countryside. These views are best enjoyed at sunset, on the outdoor sofas with a glass of wine in hand. Unwind and relax in serene solitude. With a large kitchen and stylish dining room, there is little reason to venture into the outside world, but if you do, we highly recommend Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park. Reconnect with family and friends over billiards or with a home-cooked feast; there are plenty of lounging spaces for the ultimate privacy. The more athletic among you can have a game of tennis at the on-site court. This home is located between Lisbon and Lagos. Make sure you explore the dramatic beaches that make up the Algarve coast.

This sleek, white villa may be a vision of modernity, but the towering pines and cedars that surround it give you that calming sense of being in nature. You’re in the coast-adjacent town of Aroeira here, in an exclusive complex with golf courses on your doorstep. If the putting green isn’t your thing, perhaps a game of petanque on the home’s private lane or a rowdy game of table football indoors. There’s also a sublime swimming pool that shimmers emerald green in the sunlight. 

Inside, the living area is vast and open, with macrame bean bags and an L-shaped sofa for lounging against a wall of glass to the outside world. This is where you’ll find indoor dining for the whole group – in a sunny spot surrounded by windows. The sleek, grey kitchen is all modernism and opens up via glass sliding doors to the patio, should you want to transport your dinner to the dining table outside. The real bonus is the additional cinema room, in rich, theatre-curtain red for family film nights. Bedrooms all boast floor-to-ceiling glass doors, which open up to the first-floor balcony or secluded little terraces. 

Should you wish to explore further than Aroeira, the soft-sanded beach at Fonte da Telha is less than ten minutes by car, and the buzzing centre of Lisbon is just a half-hour drive away.

For bohemian beachside vibes and pristine nature, look no further than this charming four-bedroom villa, nestled between the Sado Estuary and the crashing surf of the Atlantic Ocean.

Thoughtfully designed and beautifully furnished, the villa's interior maintains plenty of period charm alongside a casual contemporary style. The open layout of the main multipurpose living area makes the most of the spectacular summer climate with large, south-facing sliding doors that open out onto an inviting poolside deck. 

Out here, you'll find plenty of sun loungers and parasols for day-long sunbathing sessions, plus a picnic table for light lunches overlooking the pool. Around the corner, further seating and dining options are in the shade of a wooden pergola.

Back inside, four nautically themed bedrooms offer a tranquil haven to retreat to at the end of the day, with both double rooms boasting en-suite bathrooms, and all benefitting from direct access to the immaculately maintained outdoor areas.

The area might only be around an hour south of Lisbon, but Comporta has been quietly flying under the radar over the years. CN Traveller recently picked it out as Portugal's best-kept secret spot. So kick off your shoes, plant your toes in the sand and come and see what the fuss is about.

This wonderful home is the kind you’ll fondly daydream about when you’re back at home, listening to drizzle patter against the windows. Everything you might want or need during your stay has been thought of in this luxurious and welcoming home, so you can focus on enjoying every last second of your break. 

The villa is bright and stylish, with decor and finishes that would be at home in an interior design magazine. It’s beautiful, with splashes of colour adding warmth and fun. You’ll wake up to feel the sunshine on your pillow, tempting you to head through the floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors outside to the terrace. Sip an espresso as you breathe in the warm, sweet-scented air. 

The outside space has been as thoughtfully considered as the house. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re a sun-worshipper or prefer to lounge in the shade. Table tennis will keep the big kids entertained, while you cool off in the refreshing solar-heated pool. There’s a gym inside, too, so you can easily get a workout in – though we might be more tempted by a yoga session on the terrace. 

When you want to explore further afield, you might stroll to Galé beach, or perhaps hop in the car to visit Troia. History buffs will enjoy seeing the Roman ruins at Cetobriga, while golfers might choose to stay closer to home – Troia Golf is a five-minute drive from the villa. This is truly a holiday home with something for everyone – you’ll never want to leave.
