Local restaurants are a short drive away, while you'll also be treated to a complimentary three-course lunch or dinner each day, prepared with fresh local ingredients. A dedicated kids’ room will keep little ones entertained, while the gym, tennis court and swimming pool mean there's always something to do. The beach is just a five-minute drive away, too, making this home a great balance of convenience and seclusion.

Just minutes in the car from the charming village of Melides, this stunning retreat is all about reconnecting with nature and embracing tranquillity. The dedicated yoga and meditation room with vaulted ceilings is perfect whether you have a daily practice or just want a peaceful spot to retreat to. Set on over 25 acres, there's plenty of outdoor space to enjoy – from the swimming pool to a cosy sunbathing nook leading off one of the bedrooms. You'll definitely want to hire a car to get around. But with the white sands of Aberta Nova beach just ten minutes away, and everything from horseback riding and golf to wellness events available locally, it's well worth it.

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.

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.

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.

Parking On Premises

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

If you’re after a touch of luxury in the Portuguese countryside, this villa is for you. Set in the quiet village of Muda, Comporta, the surroundings may be all stone pine trees and rice fields, but the interiors are effortlessly glamorous. The open-plan living space feels almost like a hip New York loft, but the wall-to-wall views of the countryside quickly remind you where you are. Kids will love the separate area linked by a walkway, with its own bathroom and mezzanine bedroom. At full capacity, one guest will sleep on a sofa bed. With so much space here, including an outdoor pool and padel court, it's certainly not a dealbreaker.

Comporta Dream

A short walk from the stunning expanse of Praia do Prego, this beachside villa encapsulates laidback Portuguese living. The open-plan interiors combine bohemian style with striking architectural features – we love the immense cabana-style ceiling – while sliding glass doors ensure minimal separation between the outside and inside. Little ones will enjoy exploring the winding paths in the garden, while adults can relax by the pool – or escape to the hidden lounge area with a drink and a book. This is precisely the place for an off-the-grid escape, yet you're just a short drive from supermarkets and cafes in Carvalhal. 

Cabana Vibes

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.

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?

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 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.

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

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

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

Parking On Street

Peace, privacy and beautiful views – this home welcomes you to enjoy it all from the heart of Comporta. You can also savour blissful swims in the pool, lazy afternoon siestas in the shade and long barbecue meals served on the terrace. Daily housekeeping is included in your stay and your host can help organise extras like private chefs and yoga sessions for an additional fee. You might never want to leave this sanctuary, but you can walk to the nearest restaurants and it’s just 1 kilometre to the nearest beach. 


Beauty's Secret

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. 

Delight of the Moon

EV Charger

Access to Beach

This home is really made for spending time outdoors, with so many places to relax as the sun warms your skin. Overlooking your crystal blue pool is a delightful undercover seating area, so if you aren’t dining alfresco, you can pop your feet up on the comfortable white chaise with a glass of wine in hand. Venture inside and it’s just as charming – picture neutral colours, natural materials and wonderful open-plan spaces ideal for entertaining. We love the bedrooms, in particular – each has its own colour theme providing a calming effect to complement the tasteful modern artwork. 

On your way to the beach, just 2km away, crawl into the local restaurant for a spot of lunch. Comporta's coastlines are picturesque, perfect for lounging in the sand and catching the rays. After a day of soaking up the Portuguese sunshine, be sure to gather your loved ones around the built-in barbecue back at home for an evening watching the sunset and indulging in divine local ingredients. A beautiful contemporary villa with a relaxing zen feeling will be the backdrop to a wonderful holiday to remember.
