With gorgeous views of the surrounding area, this secluded one-storey villa is the perfect retreat for those who want to feel far from civilization. Perched on a hill, we love that you can take in mountain vistas while floating in the pool here – an ideal spot for cocktails if you ask us. Indoors, the minimalist interior and ample natural light add to the sense of calm. We strongly recommend bringing your own car here, which will open up the area – you're just a short drive from the small town of Grandola and only ten minutes from the beach.

Nestled away in the Alentejo countryside between the towns of Melides and Comporta, this home is worthy of a place on your bucket list. The interior design of both of the buildings captures minimalist cool so well that you'll be tempted to mimic it at your main residence when you return. Add to that the beautiful grounds with ample space to relax, dine and swim, plus one of Europe's longest stretches of beach only ten minutes away by car, and you can see why we're so excited to share this one.

Mighty Pine

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.

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.

Balcony

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.

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.

This stunning home is the perfect escape. It’s tucked away in Santiago do Cacém in a peaceful spot – it was originally home to the friars of the Order of Santiago. 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

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.

Invisible Light

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.

This modern villa offers a stylish haven for those seeking a relaxing Portuguese escape. Situated in the heart of quiet countryside, the home is within easy access to the stunning beaches of the Alentejo Coast – however, you will need a car to get around. The inside is bright and elegant, with plenty of space for a family or a group of friends to get comfy. Outside, you’ll enjoy a private swimming pool and a terrace boasting nice views and a dining area for alfresco meals. 

Casa Roriz

Just a short stroll from the beach, this home is perfectly located for a refreshing coastal getaway. There's also a private heated pool and a wonderful shaded terrace for alfresco dining. Inside, the rooms combine luxurious comfort and functionality to ensure optimum relaxation. Your host is on hand to help organise extras like a private chef, yoga sessions and local guides. And while it might be hard to leave this coastal sanctuary, it’s a great base for exploring Comporta and the Tróia Peninsula.


Ocean's Breeze

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.

Beachy Boho

Surrounded by dense Mediterranean vegetation, there's an enormous sense of privacy and tranquillity at this address in Comporta. It's certainly not hard to imagine long summer afternoons spent gliding gracefully through the swimming pool, catching rays on the lounger or dining under the shade of the verandah.

You will eventually have to head inside at some point, but you won't be disappointed when you do. The first thing that will strike you is just how bright the interior is, with natural light streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. We also like the emphasis on natural materials in many of the furnishings and decorative items, which feels in keeping with the coastal location.

When you want to pay a visit to the seaside, there are long stretches of golden beaches along the Portuguese coastline that start from as close as 2km away. A little closer to home, you'll find restaurants and bars in the local town of Lagoa Formosa. 

Summer Livin'

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

Nestled between Comporta and Carvalhal, this tranquil home perfectly embodies the effortless beauty of the Alentejo coastline. 

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.  

The Way of Peace

Characterised by stretches of calming white walls accented by carefully restored original wooden beams, this characterful home in the beautiful Portuguese coastal town of Carvalhal offers you everything you could need for a one-of-a-kind retreat into the unspoiled nature of the area. It also provides you with a stylish base from which to begin your perusal of Portugal. Offering high ceilings, a range of high-spec amenities, and a beguiling blend of traditional Portuguese features with modern touches, this home feels comfortable, cosy, and entirely at home in its environment just a few moments from the popular beaches of Carvalhal.

Awake feeling relaxed and refreshed in the restful bedrooms, before stepping straight out onto one of the many terraces for a breath of fresh sea air. Then it’s into the brightly mosaiced kitchen for a bit of breakfast. Or perhaps you'd rather take it to the outdoor seating area and enjoy it lounging next to the pool before a quick morning dip? The soft sand beaches of Carvahal are within easy reach too, so don’t miss out on the opportunity to soak up some of the almost guaranteed sunshine with a day spent beside the surf.

No matter how your days here might look, we think that this home provides the perfect place for rest, relaxation, and feeling a million miles from the usual stresses and strains of everyday life. After all, how could you look out over that fabulous expanse of unspoiled 'mato' and feel anything other than calm and at one with nature?

Coastal Haven Retreat

Hammock

Set within an expansive garden and surrounded by pine trees, this is the perfect setting for a rejuvenating retreat – one that will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired from the moment of arrival. And with a range of luxurious features alongside impeccable styling, you’ll find it easy to settle in and make this space your own. 

From the art and objects to the personal touches, every detail of this home has been considered to enrich daily living with comfort and ease. Follow the views outside and you’ll find the perfect setting for lazy days by the swimming pool, magical sunset drinks and al fresco meals. Your lovely host can also help arrange for a private chef to prepare a delicious Portuguese meal – inviting you to sit back and savour the beauty of this unique setting. And when you’re ready to retreat back inside, you’ll find the ensuite bedrooms set the tone for a restorative night’s sleep. 

When you’re inspired to explore beyond this private sanctuary, days can be spent embracing the waves on Praia dos Brejos beach, hiking through the surrounding countryside and discovering the natural beauty of the Alentejo region. 

Lotus Heart

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 

Carbon Monoxide Detector

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

Hot Tub

Just a stone's throw from the centre of Carvalhal, this home is the definition of beach chic. We love the eclectic design inside, with its coastal tones and colourful artwork. While the outdoor space isn't huge, a covered terrace is ideal for alfresco dinners and drinks. An inviting hot tub is perfect for a soak as the sun goes down. When you're ready to explore, you'll find Carvalhal's shops and restaurants a short walk away. Slightly further afield are the area's sandy beaches – Praia do Carvalhal is just 3 kilometres away.

Carvalhal Chic

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. You will need a car here, but the beach is a short drive away and you’ll find easy access to local amenities. Plus, your host can help arrange bike rentals – a nice way to explore the area.
